Why social engineering doesn't work and a question.Follow

At what point do people have to take responsibility for their actions?

After reading this Link

The best part of the article: "As a result, desperate homeowners have sent payments to banks in often-futile efforts to keep their homes, which some see as wasting dollars they could have saved in preparation for moving to cheaper rental residences. Some borrowers have seen their credit tarnished while falsely assuming that loan modifications involved no negative reports to credit agencies.

Some experts argue the program has impeded economic recovery by delaying a wrenching yet cleansing process through which borrowers give up unaffordable homes and banks fully reckon with their disastrous bets on real estate, enabling money to flow more freely through the financial system."

Yes, losing your home is horrible, but you bought something you could not afford and then wanted the government to save you which has made the problem worse and as a result the inevitable has been delayed which is now affecting other people who had nothing to do with your stupid actions.


And for something a little closer to home (My Home)

This one is personal to me because I actually know one of the couple's who have been affected by this.

For those that do not know basicly what happened is a bunch of Liberal's here in California decided that a little more than a decade ago that they would through government help and social programs move people who lived into bad neighborhoods into better one's.

Liberals believed that giving something to people who had not worked for it or earned it would make the world a better place and with no surprise to any sane person with common sense (That means someone who isn't Liberal) it didn't work

Not only did it not work but this social engineering has lowered the property value of entire neighborhoods by raising the crime rate.

And because of this the elderly couple I know who have lived and worked in Antioch for decades who had raised their children in their house they had worked and saved up for are now afraid to go out at night.

Friday.

From Day 1.

How... abhorrent?

Well it's not abhorrent. "To improve the quality of life for ALL residents". It's basically the goal of social engineering eh.

It's stupid term invented for it's derogatory connotation. Society is social engineering, however you look at it. Whether it's section 8 neighborhoods or getting fined for jaywalking.

Correct. Until you fix generational racial & economic inequality, so called "reverse-racism" can't exist.

I don't think that a year of Obama is going to get us out of the crushing economic disaster.

Now it's interesting that for years the republicans blamed all the economic problems of Dubya on Clinton and yet somehow now they blame Obama. I think they see Bush as completely impotent--eight years of the economy swaying in the wind, only affected by the democratic presidents that bookended his administration.

Once is an accident. Twice is illiteracy, or just plain laziness.

If you can't be bothered to take an interest in composing your diatribes in such a way that you don't come across as an illiterate slob, I can't be bothered to read them in their entirety, much less make any effort at responding to the ideas that you are doing such a ****-poor job of conveying with your mangled verbiage.

Presentation matters.

I haven't responded to the content of your original post because I never bothered to read it. Why? Because the first post I saw in this thread was the one I first replied to, which was a travesty. I used "their/they're" merely as an example. There were many other words misspelled or incorrectly used in your subsequent replies, and your punctuation and capitalization were atrocious.

I'm 100% serious about this. Why should I waste MY important time attempting to decipher your lazy writing? What makes you think your thoughts are special enough to merit that sort of effort on my part?

Clearly, you don't actually care about what you are writing. If you did, you'd make an effort to present it in such a way that conveys an impression of intelligence, education, and thoughtfulness. Instead, you just spew forth hastily and lazily slapped together words. If YOU don't care about your thoughts, why on earth should I care about your thoughts?

So I say again, presentation matters. You start presenting yourself as someone whose thoughts and writing are worthy of my time, effort and attention, and I'll start putting time, effort and attention into reading and responding to you. It's really that simple.
