Case in point: Last week we offered $1.1 million on a home, when asking was $975K (they purposely underpriced it). The highest bidder offered just under $1.2 million, cash, no contingencies.
wow, where are you looking? sucks to be buying right now. Just doesnt seem like a good environment to be buying when you are in bidding wars... hard to beat 1.2M CASH...

Truth in advertising laws should apply here. It should be named the Unaffordable Mandatory Care Act

Slight tweak to that name: Unafordable Mandatory Insurance Act.
Health care is extra, and will require paying a large deductible.

This is a public announcement: Obama won the election and will be in office for 3 more years. That is all...
How would you feel about someone posting the same thing about Bush W., circa 2005? Not a strong argument buddy.

Spamming?? That's funny... I haven't even come close to the HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of posts you've made in your cheerleading of O'care!!!
Did I post TWO DIFFERENT THREADS on the SAME DAY about the EXACT SAME TOPIC? No, I did not. Did you? Yes, you did.
I know you don't like it when I dispel the right-wing myths about ACA, and you like to wrongly call it "cheerleading", but your mistaken characterization does not make it spamming.

I was just reminding all the readers here that they have one more day to sign up. There were over 13,000 readers today here...
Ha ha - bullshit.
YOU did sign up for your cost saving plan already, didn't you??
Of course I did.
I believe that was his DEMOCRAT whiners he gave in to...
Not even. Democrats for the most part supported the law as written. The repukes were the ones crying, "Waaah! He said I could keep my shitty insurance!"
Here's her complete comment, does it change much for you??
“But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it – away from the fog of the controversy.â€
Here's mine from above:
"Have to pass the bill to know what is in it"
Just wondering, do both comments have different meanings, or would a second grader understand how similar they are??
If you really believe those two mean the same thing, then why did you use the version that omits the word "you", and crops off the entire end of the sentence?
The meaning of that statement was that she wanted the SENATE to pass their version, so that the bill could be discussed without all the fake bullshit about death panels and other nonsense. She wasn't suggesting that the bill should be rammed though before she or anyone else read it.
But then you already knew that, because we've told you that over and over on this forum.

I believe they were TWO different topics....
I can't help it that your boy makes 2 unconstitutional, unilateral changes to his signature law in ONE day!!!
Dude, you must be high.
Thread number one: "Individuals whose health plans were canceled will now automatically qualify for a "hardship exemption" from the mandate. If they can't or don't sign up for a new plan, they don't have to pay the tax."
Thread number two: "Americans whose health plans are being canceled because their coverage doesn’t meet Obamacare rules will be exempt from the mandate that they carry insurance, under a change announced by the Obama administration. "
How the fuck is that two different topics?

Do you realize people who believe in too many conspiracy theories are mentally ill? Get some help.
Just do a google search if you don't believe me.
It is amazing, but if you draw a straight link from Emilie's elbow to where the line of her arm should intersect her body, it should intersect at the top of her right EAR. The picture is a crude phony.
It's not that her arm is crooked, but it's also that her right arm is way too damn long. This photo is poorly redone...she has a bad case of ape arm.

Go back to my link and read the WSJ article:

I DID read your article, stupid. Apparently you didn't, though. It says THIS:
The White House argued at the Supreme Court that the insurance-purchase mandate was not only constitutional but essential to the law's success, while refusing REPUBLICAN demands to delay or repeal it.
Q: Who was demanding the individual mandate be repealed?
A: The REPUBLICANS.
Yes, the democrats gave in, TO THE REPUBLICAN WHINERS.

I tell you what Bgamall, as you're such a supporter of research, why don't you travel to Sandy Hook and interview the inhabitants? You may as well start with the families of those who lost children. You can knock on their doors and ask them where they hid their kids. You can report back to us with your findings. I'll reimburse your travel expenses.

Pasadena and Altadena mostly. The schools aren't too great, but we can't compete with the asian buyers in South Pasadena and San Marino. A shack on a tiny lot goes for 1.2 easy over there. Even where we're looking, these prices are for fixers. It'll take 250K to make them the way you want.
Yes, it's a really hard, because there is nothing for sale. (We're looking for at least a 1/4 acre, so already that's rare).
I watched prices barely budge down about 10-15% during the crash. San Marino was 5%. They just stayed there as interest rates came down, and then people were selling for just over the bubble price they payed in 2005-2006. If that fiasco didn't make housing budge, I doubt anything in the near future is going to do it.

is this a joke?
It's not a joke. The OP is a sick, heartless bastard.
You are demented. The imaginary line of this girl's arm should pass through the left eye of her sister, not the right eye! No one is deformed like that. The picture is a FAKE.
You are an idiot.
So what if it was Photoshopped? That proves nothing. I have Photoshopped dozens of my kids photos over the years. (One year for a Christmas card I copied the smile from one kid to one who was frowning.)
The photo you are showing could have been a composite of two photos in order to have all three girls looking cute. I have done this many, many times. It proves nothing. The arm may be off, but there is an arm touching a shirt that matches the arm of the girl in the background. A Photoshop expert may be able to pull that off but not miss the error you are highlighting.
This thread proves you are a HEARTLESS fool.

Perhaps you'd care to explain to me how any sort of error by a news agency constitutes proof of your ridiculous claims.
It was supposed to be the police storming the school. But it was a different school. There is no proof of the police storming the school where the attacks are alleged to take place. That is a proof. If they can't provide proof it didn't happen.
Why do you quote a sentence from a post that you then delete?
This was my full comment if it helps:
I don't know what you think that demonstrates. Perhaps you'd care to explain to me how any sort of error by a news agency constitutes proof of your ridiculous claims. You should be asking yourself the context of that footage. When was it filmed? Was it occurring at the same time as the events at Sandy Hook? Is it strange that the police might be checking other nearby schools? What do you think it was like in the newsroom at the time of these live events unfolding? Why is a simple editorial error of this type such an issue to you when there are tens of thousands of hours of actual footage of the event? Why does the former outweigh the latter in the mind of a conspiracist? And on and on it goes.
I note that you didn't address any of my questions.
you have any proof of these other bidders... or are they fake to pump up prices ?
I've seen the houses sell for more than we bid roughly 30 days later. I can only assume that it is true. If there were no other bidders, we surely would have gotten the houses, since we're offering over asking for the most part.
Case in point: Last week we offered $1.1 million on a home, when asking was $975K (they purposely underpriced it). The highest bidder offered just under $1.2 million, cash, no contingencies.
and yet all the people who overbid and didnt win told there were other highe offers only to see the homes not sold... what happened !
come on... do you really expect REA to be that honest considering they can squeeze you for another $50K-100K...
lets get rid of the commission structure and see how far "other bids" last....
back in 1969-1970 they banned similar commissions from Stock Market transactions.

the fact that Robbie Parker is a lying actor, who had no concern that his child was dead.
Like I said, I'll reimburse any expenses for your trip to Sandy Hook. You can ask him why he had no concern. Take a video camera along if you don't mind.
Do not forget us "Baby Boomers" who pay cash as we want to live as rent free as possible. We buy small 3br/3baths because we want to be able to sell or rent them if necessary, but intend to live in them as long as we can.
Rents are rising and we retiring Baby Boomers are putting down roots, often away from the high priced areas but within areas with services.
How Wall Streets bad behavior hurts Main Street
This 'headline' post after this headline post below by the same person on the main page:
Emilie's Cockeyed Arm Cannot Go Unchallenged Must See!
F-n prophetic, and ironic.
That's the hilarious part that bgamall won't admit, is that the
zionist/Israel-only lobby is very effective without having to resort to
inefficient and insane actions to fulfill their agendas.
Again that is not what they do. They do false flags, terrorism, and scare
people to get their way. That is how they operate. The lobby didn't get war in
the middle east until the neocons instituted 9/11. Wake up buddy.
Really? Fear and loathing of AIPAC by up-and-coming politicians wanting campaign money and/or support or not backing their opponet is proof of their power, along with the known and traceable campaign contributions.
If you REALLY were an anti-zionist like you claim, you would be harping about the real shit that's done to support and further agendas instead of the fantasy bullshit you inundate everybody with here. Why go hypothetical when you have real proof?

You should get in touch with Fox News. Apparently they knew about it 30 years in advance:
By the way, I already explained the repurposing of a facebook page with the date remaining the same as the initial set up time. You know that is how such a date arises with a later event and yet you are still trying to pass this off as some kind of proof. It isn't. More importantly, you know it isn't, so what are you trying to do?

They never saw 600 kids dispersed from the building. So what happened to them. 600 kids is as big as a small high school. Yet no one left en masse from the school.
Why don't you describe to everyone here how the elementary school is approached? There also isn't any helicopter footage of the evacuation either, is there? I bet you think that is 'proof' of a hoax.
Oh, and when you visit Sandy Hook to do your research, perhaps you'd like to also drop in on these first responders and ask them why they participated in this supposed hoax.
Or as you will probably say they are crisis actors, then please supply the appropriate proof for such an assertion. Their names are clearly stated in the article.

Yep, but he actually needs to go and visit these people and make the same arguments to them that he makes on here. I reckon those first responders would be a good starting point. I very much look forward to seeing the video of those encounters.
and yet all the people who overbid and didnt win told there were other highe offers only to see the homes not sold... what happened !
Yes, one would assume if yours was a high offer, you would get the house. I have no idea what happened in those situations.
come on... do you really expect REA to be that honest considering they can squeeze you for another $50K-100K...
I understand that there is a bit of a conflict of interest. REA hopefully are considering that you may be a seller in a few years, or recommend them to others, so doing shady things wouldn't be in their best interest in the long run. I'm sure there are both kinds out there.
lets get rid of the commission structure and see how far "other bids" last....
We were using Redfin for awhile, because those agents just get a flat fee. They're helpful, but honestly, they don't jump on things when you ask them too. The REA I use now wants to make that commission. She moves very fast and within a couple of hours has all the info on a home, the seller's situation, etc. etc.
I find the commission thing to be helpful, because the REA is hungrier than the non-commissioned people.

The "protestors" could refuse to buy insurance, refuse to pay the penalty (and it has not been figured out how it will be collected) and then claim that they are "conscientious objectors" in court. Perhaps someone on this board will conduct a participant observation study?

(and it has not been figured out how it will be collected)
It's called the IRS, meet the new Medical billing office.
Retail traffic plummeted 21 percent last week, and in-store sales decreased
3.1 percent from the year before, dashing retailers' hopes that the final
stretch before Christmas would offset soft sales numbers earlier in the holiday
shopping season.
The disappointing numbers, released by ShopperTrak on Monday, are "kind of
staggering," said the research firm's founder, Bill Martin, who last week voiced
optimism that retailers would see a noticeable spike in traffic and sales the
week of Dec. 16-22 after two consecutive weeks of decreases in both.
Good - the entire christmas season has basically been created by the 1% capitalists to get the masses to part with their hard earned money.

Homeboy, how can you defend the Obamacare Turd Pie? Obama had to lie to the public, had to twist arms to get it passed (barely), refused to delay the individual mandate, but gave a free pass/extension to businesses. TONS of exemptions for friends/bundlers, etc. Each month passes and more and more of Americans who liked/wanted their 'shitty' plans (your words, not mine) can't keep them, because Obamacare's cryptic requirements now deem them illegal. Republicans saw this shitstorm years in advance, and tried to repeal or delay. And all during this time, you and the O-bots continued to drink the Kool-Aid while insulting those on pat.net who said, 'yeah, I have a big problem w/ Obamacare'.
Well, the curtain has been raised and now all can see that Obamacare was ill-conceived, poorly written, poorly executed, and now (w/o Senate approval mind you), has been self-delayed. How can you defend a house that has already burned down? The MSM press who's in the bag for the Dems, will never really tell the tale of millions who lost their insurance, who can't even buy a slice of Obama's shit pie, because the website is fuckin' broke. But we'll know in Nov '14 what America thinks of Obama and his 'care'....... HE OWNS THIS MESS.
Case in point: Last week we offered $1.1 million on a home, when asking was $975K (they purposely underpriced it). The highest bidder offered just under $1.2 million, cash, no contingencies.
Nw888 where are you looking if you dont mind me asking?
If i remember correctly from previous posts, you are looking in S. Cali area. Ive been looking in S. Cali and in certain places, it seems that prices have come down a bit.
Also, I know from previous post that your wife is a physician. I dont know what you do, but dont you think it silly that one a physician salary you cant afford a nice home in S. Cali?
I think affordability is crap in S. Cali... unless investors can maintain these prices, I feel like they ahve to come down sooner or later.
