The subprime lending and housing market collapse are both rooted in the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), which began forcing lenders to take on riskier borrowers.

I *LOVE* the sentiments. It conjured up visions of the late George Carlin's famous contraceptive commercial for "Preg-Not".

Certainly. And I might even have a good shot at doing so, since my paternal grandmother lived will into her hundreds.

Answer to:
Is it possible to change your concept of beauty? (the type of person you find attractive) For example..if I have never been attracted to red heads and have only dated blondes or brunettes. Is there some way in which I can change my mind about that?
I suppose that it is.
For example, I was never attracted to readheads until ago 50 or so. I really have no idea why that is. I did date a couple of strawberry blonds and a couple of brunettes with auburn highlights, but that is about as close as I ever came.
Now, I find countless readheads attractive. It is unfortunate that I can't move on the urge. (Happily married)
Oh well....

What do you think makes some people to believe that the world is coming to an end?
Most can be attributed to the delusional predictions of cult leaders who want to attain the status of prophet.
Another faction are the doomsayers that manufacture their own "truth" out of scant evidence (e.g., the Mayan calendar, Global Warming zealots, etc.).

I drank in relative moderation even then. I attribute that fact and a lack of illegal drug intake to why our rock group never made it big.

A bigot is someone who is intolerant of opposing opinions. If you know the other opinion is wrong, is intolerance still considered bigotry?

I may be intolerant of your curious observation, but that does not make me bigoted. ;-)

How many days are you going to spend with extended family this Christmas?
Two. Any longer and we begin gnawing each others legs off.
This year may be even less festive. We have not put up any trees, but a few odd decorations and a wreath. The upside is that we don't have to take the tree down AFTER Christmas. This could be a good thing. ;-)
I still have about 50 more Christmas cards to send and a couple more gifts to buy though.

Is it legal to wish strong violent harm upon someone over the internet without actually threatening them?
How do you propose to "wish" harm without making a threat?
You can "wish" all sorts of harm, but without communicating the threat to the target, they have no way of knowing what you may be thinking.
The law reads that the spoken or written word is assault. If you act on that threat, that constitutes battery. Wishing isn't covered anywhere except the Salem...

Why did Thomas Jefferson describe his election as president as the "Revolution of 1800", and how much of a "revolution" did it really amount to? What policies did he and his successor James Madison impose?
In the United States Presidential election of 1800, sometimes referred to as the “Revolution of 1800,” Vice President Thomas Jefferson defeated President John Adams. The election was a realigning election that ushered in a generation of Democratic-Republican Party rule and the eventual demise of the Federalist Party.
Working closely with Aaron Burr of New York, Jefferson rallied...

Fewer than 385,000 individuals owned slaves -- 1.4% of all whites in the country or less than 5% percent of all...

Answer to:
There are ducks running down the road in front of my house. Does anyone else think that is strange?
It would only be strange if there was not a lake or other body of water in the immediate area. I have to brake for ducks all of the time in suburban Minneapolis.

Answer to:
Could you describe your keychain?( Mine has a teddy with hearts.)
It features an 1827 One Cent coin and an 1837 Hard Times token (the same size as the large cent). Both started their life on my key chain as high grade specimens(XF or so) and are currently grading VG to Fine. It is amazing what 30 years of "circulation" does to a coin.
Yep ... my "Key chain" has remained pretty much the same for the past 30 years. Oh sure, the keys...

Answer to:
In dating, do you usually catch and release?
It's been such a long time since I was dating. Nevertheless, with very few exceptions, I would always mount my dates.
Does that make me any less sportsman-like? ;-)
I leave "catch-and-release" to the criminal justice system. They have gotten so good at it.

How Many Stars have you earnt on Ebay?
Zero, zip, zilch, nada.
After having three grand lifted from my Pay-Pal account, and finding that this was a common occurrence, I Fled eBay is disgust, since they most certainly could give a damn less about their "customers". And eBay seems to care even less about their merchants.
I at least expect a kiss if I am gonna get screwed that badly.

Answer to:
What is your definition of a "wuss"? Here's mine..someone who refuses to engage in anything controversial for fear of being attacked by some group or another. What do you think?
As I understand it from my misspent youth, the term "wussy" was a melding of the words "wimp" and "pussy" that indicated someone even more meek than a pussy.
... and I'll break this barstool across the dentition of the first person who dares challenge my definition.
That would make me aWUSSical. ;-)

The fact that you are here at any hour of the night or day indicates that you probably have NO life.
Kindly deal with it in your own way. ;-)

Answer to:
If we were able to fly through space without the worry of pressure or anything like that, 'do you think' we would ever find a barrier or is it just like a dark deep void or what? Give me your opinion or theory on the matter.
My opinions and "theories" on space is based on known fact and all reasonable theories.
Your request is a bit unreasonable, however. Nevertheless, I will overlook the near-perfect vacuum of outer space to answer your question.
Outer space is the relatively empty regions of the universe outside the atmospheres of various celestial bodies. Outer space is not completely empty,...
Answer to:
Had you ever dream when you sleep ? If so ,what is that dream?
EVERYONE dreams. Most people recall their dreams. I don't.
Whenever I do, they are fairly boring stuff. It's probably been ten years since I had a dream about falling and five years since I had one in which I was naked in public. (Everyone has those sorts of dreams as well.)
I will recall a dream once or twice every few months. It usually resembles mundane episodes of...

Who thinks revenge is sweet?Why?
Revenge is sweetest when served cold ... or so "they" say.
I have never been vengeful. It seems such a wasted effort. I was blessed with a memory that conveniently forgets all of the really bad stuff in very short order. The good stuff is indelible. ;-)

Answer to:
Do you think that it's possible that OPEC messed with the gas prices just to show the political and economic world leaders who really holds the reins and that they crashed the world economy on purpose?
Ya think?
Actually, I do not think the rapid run-up in oil prices is the least bit coincidental to the global banking crisis. It may have been little more than a smokescreen!
Am I the only one here who knows how painfully leveraged global banking systems have been for decades? Read these and learn (or weep):

Answer to:
When a paedofile or child molester get sentenced, dont you think that should have a area just for them? Where they ould know what is it like to be violated in such a way?
Absolutely not. Throw these vermin in a cell with "Bubba". Bubba will show them how to degrade someone sexually.
Then, after a few months of serious penetration in every conceivable orifice, Bubba will slowly choke the pervert just to watch the pedophile's eyes bulge.
Isn't that a fitting end for these perverts?
