Post: Lease Options

This is only something to take into consideration but let's say the option expires and you do not purchase this property. You've gone to the expense of transferring these things into your name. If they are in agreement to leave it in their name and let you pay for it during the course of the lease, I'd go that route.

My runner-up vote goes to President Obama, who immediately assumed that this police officer was a racist, even when he admittedly didn't know the facts!

Mike


But he gets my vote for biggest hypocrite. Leading the American people to believe that he is without prejudice. As time goes on we see more and more what a charlatan he is.

Absolutely agree on that part,, and that's why you are entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine...

Wooo Hooo! FINALLY! And I thought I had posted something neutral that everyone would agree on :mrgreen:

Tim, why you bring Iran as an argument? I said DEMOCRATIC and if we learned anything from the last election there, is that Iran is nothing but democratic.


It only happens to be Iran because of a personal connection, but the principle is the same. You're not the first immigrant who's come to this country and told me that American needs to change to your foreign standards. No. You assimilate to the American system. You're allowed every freedom to observe every cultural tradition within the boundaries of the law, but you don't change the fabric of how everything runs here. We don't ban the private ownership of firearms and we don't force every person into military service. That's how it works here.

Second, if you get out more often you'll see that the fabric of how everything runs here, (As if you have a monopoly on that everything) is already changing. The fabric of the population is changing. This is a country that was founded on immigration and that is why it's so successful.



We're trillions of dollars in debt with massive unemployment. Another group of lawmakers were busted for doing what they apparently do best today. I can go on with the list that comprises the mess this country is in but I'm sure if you look around you can see it. I wouldn't call those changes for the better.

Okay, this is all I was trying to get out...I think we're now all in agreement on this part... :)




And I never said there was to start with. I said there was cause for concern. That's why I don't understand all the harassment that has preceeded.

And the founding fathers were "distrustful of government as a source of tyranny".

I think you know my position on states rights so you have no argument from me there.

As to why guns and credit cards go together? Well...like I say about my newly purchased Glock 30. "Don't leave home without it." :mrgreen:


I was somewhat thinking along these lines but thought I'd leave my hobbies out of this :wink:

I was reading an article on concealed weapons today. Actually, it can be found here if you're interested in that

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090722/ap_on_go_co/us_concealed_weapons

but that isn't really the topic here. I read through this article and got to the end to see this:

In May, President Barack Obama signed into law a consumer credit card act that also restored the rights of people to carry loaded weapons in national parks.

lol! Now I knew about the Consumer Credit Card Act and I own both guns and credit cards but I fail to see how one has to do with the other. I was just floored. I'd never heard that before. But I thought I would show this as an example of how things get pushed through the system without the American people knowing about it. Hide it in with something really popular and run it through.

Your wrong, Karen...I think my post from 11:58pm last night was very clear:


Let's make this easy:

Do you believe that there is enough evidence of the U.S. giving China eminent domain rights (not just some form of collateral, but specifically eminent domain rights) that we should consider giving it any consideration whatsoever?

Yes (you believe there is enough evidence) or no (you do not believe there is enough evidence)? (and again, we're not talking about a general form of security; we're specifically talking about eminent domain rights)


No, I am not wrong:

"that we should consider giving it any consideration whatsoever?"

This is not asking me for evidence to support that it happened. This is asking me if I felt there was evidence to give it consideration.


At any rate, whether you meant one thing and I interpreted it another, no, I don't have evidence to support it one way or another and that's what bothers me so much about the entire thing. After the statement on Bloomberg saying they would require some security before we got any more money, I never saw anything else. Obviously, they are giving us more money. What did we give them?
