Adobe makes great products and I’m sure it’s a great company.

It has great employees too. My ex-neighbor works for Adobe and he is one of the nicest guy one can meet.

Peter P, it you're on the console view, check out the spammers hitting the site. Nice.

One thing I've never liked is a liar. Good fucking by asshole, enjoy your Pho, dickhead.

Peter P. Can you delete delete delete?

I am comfortably retired at relatively young age and I do independent contract work for many companies in the bay area because I get bored sitting around the house all day.

Wrong again Troll, your IP is always the same, a DOD contractor, likely Boeing or Lockheed if you're in San Hosebag. You're just another fucking liar who has nothing better to fill their shallow fucking life with. Oh, BTW here's your IP 214.3.118.1 . Perhaps I should send an email to the admin of the site with all your bullshit comments. Dick.

Ok Mr. Estein I paid off all my homes by refinancing ONE of my house in west san jose last year. My ONE mortgage is $2133 a month

One question, $2100 buys about a 200K mortgage, how did you pay off over 2mil worth of property with 200K? Nice, dude, you're not even a good troll Mr. Estein.

Peter P. Can you delete delete delete?

Not my thread... need SactoQt's help.

Peter P, pull dickheads IP and do a search, facinating. Why would the guberment what to trouble with us?

There ARE bots out there which the brother of a friend has written for use by NSA, CIA & FBI (and I guess will be used by the proposed Department of Homeboy Defense) for surveillance. The agencies do scan church/religious pages looking for potential nutcases, trends, etc.

the nipr.mil domain is pretty fascinating.

SactoQT, seems we've had big brother spying on us. Pull Phung Nguyen's IP and do a search on it. the nipr.mil domain is spooky/scary/fascinating

Why aren’t you in Vegas?

The restaurants are too good. It has been said that I will go broke without gambling.

"I still content that there are only 2 to 4 posters on this board."

LMAO! For the record, I am not Peter P. Or MP. Or Fake P. Or Surfer-X. Or anybody else.

Sigh. I did not make Surfer-X's list of regulars. I feel so left out of the cool kids' club. :-P

"the nipr.mil domain is spooky/scary/fascinating"

Isn't it illegal to use .mil domains for anything but official government stuff?

And Jamie!
:)

Isn’t it illegal to use .mil domains for anything but official government stuff?

That's just it, I think we've got us a official guberment troll.

Keywords: Jihad, trigger, enriched uranium, dirty bomb, car bomb, I'm bombed, Allah, white devil, mecca, Muhammed, holy land, Zion, blah blah blah.

New keywords: bubble, Fannie, housing crash, bankruptcy, foreclosure

Phuong Nguyen, you are a terrible liar. I hope you're a realtor(tm) because from your miserable failure to discredit this blog, it shows that the Bay Area real estate bulls (or fools) are getting desperate.

Can we say, backfire, Phuong? :-)

Phuong, good luck dealing with surfer-x :-)

brightc, poohong is a guberment troll, he/she/it has the nipr.mil IP.

Man, wouldn't it be just peachy if the guberment is sooo worried about the housing bubble that they have their trolls post dribble on this blog? Nice how the guberment troll left when he/she/it was outed.

poohong may be a government employee but I doubt he is trolling for the government.

Government trolls are probably smart enough to mask the IP so that it would appear to be coming from Adobe.

Maybe it's just me, but do any others find the need to go to pro-housing (bull) sites and post mindless dribble in a vain attempt to bring them to the bear side?

I just can't understand why trolls like poohong find it necessary to post outright fucking lies trying to make people believe everything is fine, housing only goes up.

"That’s just it, I think we’ve got us a official guberment troll"

Or else he's just some bored pencil pusher wasting not only our time but our tax dollars. ;-)

"do any others find the need to go to pro-housing (bull) sites and post mindless dribble in a vain attempt to bring them to the bear side? "

Not me. I don't participate in any other online discussions, because in my experience most sites are just full of pissing contests and slack-jawed idiots who can't compose complete sentences, let alone logical arguments. I keep coming back here because it has a much higher concentration of intelligent people than other places on the internet.

"Government trolls are probably smart enough to mask the IP so that it would appear to be coming from Adobe. "

LOL, excellent point.

"And Jamie!"

Now my life is complete. :-P

“I still content that there are only 2 to 4 posters on this board.”

Jamie, just let him believe what he wants to.

I believe in the Santa Claus. Please do not tell me that he does not exist.

Is Bay Area is suffering from some kind of “Mathew Effect”. For those who are not familiar with matthew effect, it is a sociological concept:

Isn't it a case of reflexivity between status and the recognition of status? Status brings recognition of status, further reinforcing status...

OMG, the thread that will not die!

I stopped checking in because Phony Nguyen's BS got so thick a long time ago that I thought it pointless to keep answering his/her/it's ridiculous comments.

I figured it was just a bored troll making up the stories as it went along, clearly I was right.

I'm not even sure I should delete because it's kind of comical. It doesn't even have the ability to stir things up like our other troll. Really it's just boring.

OMG, the thread that will not die!

Yep. Some may say that there is a bubble in the comment count.

I’m not even sure I should delete because it’s kind of comical. It doesn’t even have the ability to stir things up like our other troll. Really it’s just boring.

If you delete, you will also pop this thread bubble.

"If you delete, you will also pop this thread bubble."

There is no thread bubble! Conversational conditions full support the numbers in this thread. This thread is unique. People will always want to participate in this thread because it is like no other thread--it has countless positive intangibles that make unlimited growth of comments possible. And also moneyed immigrants will always want to post here.

Long live the thread.

>:-)

And also moneyed immigrants will always want to post here.

LOL. This thread is a new paradigm!

My generation is still being punished for Vietnam by the Greatest Generation, which I am still trying to figure out what was so great.

Sorry way off topic and I’ll likely delete myself, hmmm lets see first, to deny your generation is the most indulged self-serving one yet, is well, indulgent. Regarding Vietnam, do me a favor, look up when your memorial went in, then look up the total amount of casulties, then look who funded it, now, look up when the WWII memorial went in, how many died and who funded it. Pardon me, I am sure you are different, but your generation has cried whined and bitched about vietnam, when you lost, yeah I know, it was McNamara that made that happen. The WWII generation saved the free world, beat back facism on two fronts and did so with grace and humility, something the boomer crowd is sorely lacking. I personally know a man who took two in the chest at Bastogne and didn’t talk about it for 50 years. Sorry man, but due to the shear volume of boomers you will get a lot of good ones, and a lot of bad ones. Ever watch frontline? Fascinating what the boomer accountants at the big 4, strike that big 3 have come up with, and that cat that figured out that by lowering the min monthly on credit cards would result in higher debt, we’ll he was a rep of your generation also. I just find it odd that the country pretty much worked well, yeah there was that nixon thing, but look what happened when boomer bill took office. Blowjobs, scandel and the greatest greed party the world has ever seen. Money was always important, but your generation has made it the only thing that was important. To quote one of your poets, “I hope I die bbbbefore I gettt old”, and “if you can’t love the one you want, love the one your with”. Boomers cant help it, they love themselves too much, had too much given to them to ever be responsible. The greatest generation scrimped and saved and were superstingy, and they left it to their children. In a way boomer behavior is resultant for their parents who came back from war and wanted nothing but peace. You grew up in a time where America was king and were handed the world on a silver platter, yet the boomers chose to squander it. Sorry man, but like I said I’ll delete myself. Enjoy.

I have nothing against boomers... but this is one well-written rant!

Thanks Peter P, I try, I try, hopefully I will eventually be able to realize my goal, equally offending everyone. :)

Surfer-x still does not realize that in economics and life, not “all” follow the pattern, not all boomers were supplied with or demanded everything. That was my main point that was lost in the rant

And my response?

Sorry man, but due to the shear volume of boomers you will get a lot of good ones, and a lot of bad ones.

Like I said in a prior rant, boomers are very good at talking at you. I've encountered a "few" nice boomers, but the vast vast majority are the selfish indulged type. Your comments echo this, In trying to quell blaming boomers for the bubble, SUVs, etc., instead I am banished to “Social Effects” to respond. The point of the other thread is an attempt to stay focused on the housing bubble, and stay away from hot button topics, that's why my comments, and yours were deleted. You have said nothing to let me believe that you are anything more than an entitled boomer, you clearly didn't read my posts and you respond by talking at, typical of the boomer generation.

NF, yes which is why i've relocated this thread to the neverendingthread. You clearly aren't reading my comments, yes, not all boomers are indulgent, but a lot are. To suggest otherwise is bullshit, for every good deed the boomers have done, there are 10 bad. To deny the sorry state of the economy, the housing bubble, and the greed circus are anything but boomer artifacts is trying to re-write history. Stay, leave, lurk, I don't care, but don't try to make a case for boomers being anything but what they've proved themselves to be.

I only ask that you do not direct your anger to my whole generation.

NF, never meant to suggest all boomers are bad, clearly that isn't the case. I have just encounted too much crap from the +50 crowd to have fondness in my heart for them. Didn't mean to personally offend you, was not my plan. Stay and post, it's informative and fun, and everyone's comments are welcome.

Not my blog, it's Patrick's, he's just nice enough to let me play. I totally agree it's the greed that's bad, and it's most assured cross-generational.

I've just got to stop sniffing glue long enough to type correctly, "assuredly"

You know, it's interesting, but I've noticed a trend in my generation. A lot of mom's I know, myself included, have chosen to stay home and raise our own kids. Why? Because our parent's didn't and the latch-key growing up didn't do a damn thing for me and my brother's except leave us at loose ends during the day with way too many opportunities to get into trouble.

I've noticed among my peers a strong desire to not follow our parent's example in spending money, not saving, and not raising our own kids. I'm not saying that ALL boomers did this. But lets face it, the feminist movement took a lot of women out of the home and no one stayed behind to take care of the kids. Are we really better off because of two incomes? I just haven't seen the positive effect on society that it was supposed to be. I guess I'm old fashioned, but given the trends my parents generation taught us-- I'd rather follow the example of my grandparents.

I love you, any chance of ditching your husband and going with a bitter, over educated surfer? I kid I kid. I totally 100% agree with you. :) As a former latchkey myself, I must say when my wife and I have kids, she/me are staying home. I'll take the bullet and make sure they have a full-time parent. I want them to be raised like my grandparents would have raised them. The two-income trap, we've got less disposable income now then when women weren't in the workforce, it's all bullshit anyways. I feel women have been forced to believe they can have it all, work and family. We'll, you can't. And the kids suffer. Mine won't though! I've noticed the same attitude with my peers.
