I'm only a masochist if I enjoy being called sicko, insane, bolshie, commie, liberal, can't remember all the names which I do not. Few people enjoy that sort of thing. Some manage to get used to it and ignore it, not give up, not be a quitter.
Sometimes a person has to step up to the plate and speak up for what they believe is right and just.
As to the racist part, I only brought that up because I was thinking of a minority friend who lost her $16 an hour job 30 miles away because they cut and ran and now has to do lesser paying work assembling radio antennas for cars and had to move back home with mom. She had a little house all her own on the $16 per hour job few of you here would ever consider living in but she could afford the payments on it. The foundation went bad and it was condemned. If you come back and say she was too stupid for buying a house like that and deserves what she got, I'll won't call you any names, but I won't talk to you. The government may have helped her get the loan for the house. I don't know.
I paid her mother's sewer bill which had accumulated three months and went onto her home as a tax lien. Her house was sold for back taxes and it was touch and go until her daughter whose husband is serving in the military loaned her the money to bail her out and redeem her house which she own(s) free and clear because her step-father left it to her when he died. The only reason she is able to stay in it now is she found through word-of-mouth another government local program that exempts poor people from paying property taxes, more socialism btw. I do not begrudge her the help. I suppose some of you would. She has never been able to work because uh she never could do well enough in school or remedial programs. Next time I see her, I'll ask her nicely if she ever *wanted* a job.
So I don't think that makes me a racist.
No - you are a masochist because you claim not to like it, yet keep coming right back to where it had happened and saying the exact same things that caused it to happen. either grow an alligator hide or drop the subject. And BTW - I have been called far worse than any of those things - but one thing I've never been called, and thatis a racist - yet you feel that it was quite alright to call those who disagree with you racists without knowing anything about them.
I feel for your friend, and have no problem with her and her mother getting some assistance when it is needed - so don't put words in my mouth or get all high and mighty with me.
As to some of us not wanting to live in the type house she lived in, how the heck do you know? I know for sure there are lots of people that wouldn't want to live in my house or where I live - but I really don't care. All that matters is me and my family are happy here.
You are a whiny, little masochist who also happens to be a racist and all because others look at things with in a logical, rational frame of reference and not some touchy-feely attitude more appropriate for bleeding heart liberals than conservatives.
Oh, and one more thing - it would please me to NO END if you didn't talk to me anymore.
Well, since you already said you won't talk to me I'll say this much
ANYONE who buys a house without having either a home inspection made or having an architect look at it before making an offer DOES deserve what they get.
Like the Vonage commercial says,m people do stupid things.
Its not the governmnent's JOB under the Constitution to protect people from their OWN stupidity. Show me where it says that in any of the eighteen enumerated powers they were given.
