    partly. see, the people want it rebuilt...not necesarily people who didnt live there, who can see it could very well bite them in the ass again, but people who DID live there, want to live there again, and because theres alot of them, and alot of people with sympathy for them, common sense gets tossed in favor of pleasing the peoples stupid idea.

    theres alot of talk about how we cant afford this rebuilding, but it doesnt matter, we cant afford alot of what we do now. Imagine how much talk there would be if the president or a number of senators or congressmen said oout loud: this is a bad idea, and a waste of money, we shouldnt do it and i dont support it.

    christ only knows how much bitching wed have then.

    actually, she was dirt poor as a child, her stepfather went from job to job and her mother almost never even tried to work. in fact, when she moved to this area it was to get away from them, he hadnt had a job in 2 years and her mother is on disability because is disgustingly obese.

    based on some reading ive done, and after living with her for over 4 years id also say shes probably got a personality disorder (it used to be called borderline peronality disorder, not sure what its called now) and one of the normal symptoms of the disorder is spending beyond your means regularly, which she started doing as soon as we had a credit card. (this is not the only symptom of the disorder she exhibits) every time shed agree and arrange for us to get out of the debt, shed spend the money on garbage and pay the minimum on the credit card again and again.

    as for the other reply, she has no other cards or accounts currently under my name, and i do keep my credit report in mind :)

    i agree completely. My ex wife kept us poor the entire time i was with her, showing no restraint in any of her purchases. Food, movies, music, crap on a credit card that didnt get paid off because all she wanted was food, movies, cds and more crap that i cant seem to find now. This was one of the major reasons we split, im keeping the kids now and doing just as well on my salary as we did when both of us paid the bills: just getting by.

    She wasted an enourmous amount of money on crap, and she still does. She lives in an apartment she can barely afford, still eats out, wastes money on cds and movies and booze and just got a *new* car that will, with insurance, run her around 350 a month that im pretty sure she doesnt have...

    I, on the other hand, have a budgeted plan that should clear me of the half of the debt I got left with within a year or so and allow me to start saving up something for a change. I should have gotten rid of her long, long ago. That kind of person is hopeless.

    Thats terrible, have some fun with it at least. A salesmen once called me while i was putting some new towel bars up in my bathroom, so i had a cordless drill out. I was in a strange mood, and instead of hanging up the phone, i just let the drill whirr at her...it took her almost 2 minutes of this before she hung up. She was terribly, terribly confused.

    i agree, i have some strong morals that dont rely on any sort of deity or religion.

    when my cousin went to college, hed been into downloading...everything. games, music, movies, software...just for the hell of it.

    so his dad gets him a pc for college, tells him he has $1500 bucks to build one if he does it himself. so he gets about 180 gig of storage space, a 3ghz p4, 1g ram, crap video, a 15" crt....and he just downloads. he watches maybe a couple of movies a week, never plays the games, and never uses the software....$1500 so he can watch 2 or 3 movies a week tops for free.
