Are you so far removed that you don't see the scam? If you rope a younger person into a loan, you skim their wages until later middle age. That makes your profit. If you rope an older person into a loan, you don't care about the short term payments - all you care about is the death balloon...

I hold a bachelors in pharmacy. I refuse to practice because there is no longer a pharmacy profession - it has been usurped by industry. An industry that will give you a pill for almost anything, so long as they profit. Your wife, Sunfish, has been thrust into the market (not profession) of...

You want some "positive input"? How about this. The market goes up, and the market goes down. People who say that the "market is going down" when you have your business model built upon the market growing are not your enemies. They are merely those saying that rather than tying yourself to a...

Which affects deposit negatively. Which affects overall loan term negatively. Which affects long term equity negatively. At what (human) price? You could say the same thing as compared to medieval times. That is correct. Back then, being poor was more of a choice in behaviour. Today...

It's pretty simple to paint everyone struggling as "getting the dole, having a girlfriend with 4 different kids to 4 different fathers, sit at home you little beauty, never need to lift a finger except to change the foxtel channel", and you know, I do agree with Einstein in that "if you cannot...

Not at all.

Here's a thought for you, Jaycee - One of the smartest men on the planet is a guy with an IQ of 190 who works as a night club bouncer. Of course, everybody with an IQ of 100 who hears that says "the guy must be stupid!" ...despite the fact that he, uh, has an IQ of 190.

Remember when you were young and single, and thought "everyone is getting laid more than me! :(" even though you had a wholesale account with Durex, there was a bounty on your head from angry boyfriends and you were put on intraveinous drips twice for coitus induced carpet burn/cranial injury...

There is a difference between real increases in worker productivity/technological innovation, and artificial increases in housing prices. Henry Ford built his Model T with a production line and a lot of human labour. Nissan builds their high performance skyline with 3 blokes and 15 robots.

Did I ever tell you the story of the little boy and the Zen master? :)

Nothing new, eh. Okay. Would you please refer me back to a time in history where the price of a home was so high that banks would offer perpetual "interest only" loans on houses, rather than set terms of 8-15 years as per about 20-25 years ago?

Me? Eat that stuff? Forget it, I'm a food snob. I make my own yoghurt for goodness sakes

At the markets when you go to the butcher/grocer separately, sure (I used to do that, back in the day - I had one of those little grandma fold up trollies and lobbed everything I bought into that apart from meat) but at Coles, cmon...single wrapped cheese slices in a plastic tray covered in plastic

Depends on how you want to get paid :D

My spider sense is tingling. I would get a quote on what the work is worth before doing anything. I figure that one of the following is happening: 1) the guy is honest, and either already has materials or can get them free/cheap but wants you to pay retail for them so that he can pocket...

I meant "funny joke". Anyway I challenge all of those people who think Aussies should poke fun at ourselves go and start giggling at the nearest homeless person eating out of a dumpster. When you wake up with a big bruise on your head, ask yourself "why did that happen?" :)

Sorry I took so long to reply. I must have fainted after reading your post. "Common sense? Here? On this forummmmmmmm..." *boof*

The writer forgot to mention that even though we don't use disposable plastic shopping bags anymore, everything that you carry in your reusable shopping bag is individually packaged in about 10 times more plastic than required to make a bag.
