Well, what if my transmission falls out of my truck or the engine blows?
Both could be a reality with my truck since it has almost 200,000 miles on
it. In this case, I would have to "spend money that I don't have". We do
not
have public transportation here to speak of and I work night shift
anyways.
Don't think that I could afford $40 for a cab every day...

What about when the A/C goes out in the house? (This is one of the times
that I am glad that I rent)


Chuck, you are missing the point. Matt and the boys live in a world where
they are superior beings. These things never happen to them and they've
never met anyone who it has happened to either. They're the dip****s that
are supporting the rapid transition of the US from a government of the
people to a government run by corporations where Joe Public gets screwed
over at every turn.

You see, for some wacked out reason they seem to think that an entity that
exists on paper has the right to do whatever it's lobbying money can buy on
K-Street. And when your job is lost and the bills stack up, well then ****
you - you are a debt carring loser and your kids can eat cardboard boxes for
all they care. Pay up, sucker!

Welcome to the new America. I hope you like it.

You are so far off base that it is truly entertaining. We've never said
that bad things don't happen to people. We've simply said that you need
to prepare in advance for the "normal" bad things that happen, such as
transmission failures, leaking roofs, etc. Obviously, you can't prepare
for the truly catastrophic such as cancer, etc., but you also can't fix
those with a credit card. The point is that the things that credit
cards are most often used for can be handled with advance planning and
preparation. You refuse to believe that, and that is your choice.

exists on paper has the right to do whatever it's lobbying money can buy on
K-Street. And when your job is lost and the bills stack up, well then ****
you - you are a debt carring loser and your kids can eat cardboard boxes for
all they care. Pay up, sucker!


Again, comically off base. We've simply said that when you sign an
agreement, you have agreed to the terms of that agreement! No value
statement was made at all and nobody said that this was right or wrong,
just that it is what it is. Nobody forced you to sign the agreement so
why do you insist on blaming a faceless corporation for your mistake?


Welcome to the new America. I hope you like it.


It is still the best country on earth warts and all. I don't like many
things about it, but for the most part I like it pretty well. There are
several hundred other countries available for those who don't like this one.

Basically. Go screw youself. You and your big spending corporate
protectionist conservative friends do not own the country. If I do not like
what I see I get on my soap box and start speaking my mind. Which is exactly
what I am doing.

I never said I owned it. You are really a bitter person. This isn't
good for you.
