Watch Me Drive My Hummer and Laugh at You
"I want to make a comment from the person who said a Hummer is a big polluting machine. I personally own a Hummer, and for their information, a Hummer has a 30-gallon tank and uses the same amount of gas as any other SUV or large vehicle on the road. I only drive this about 15,000 miles a year, so therefore I'm not polluting the earth any more than someone who drives a four-door economic car that racks 25,000 to 30,000 miles a year. So before you go bashing a Hummer you need to get your facts straight. I pay my car payment, I can afford the gas, I don't live on welfare or assisted living, so what's the problem? I think the problem personally is that the average American can't afford a Hummer, so the problem here is just pure jealousy." - Rohrersville

Man, Mail call is at its best today. I'm jealous because you can afford a hummer? Wrong again, I'm actually ticked off because you drive one and assume that you are less at fault for pollution because you only drive it half as much as people that drive smaller cars. Actually, you still a polluting the air twice as much as me regardless of how you try and argue your way into feeling better about yourself. The fact that you can buy a big, fuel guzzling, useless car does not impress me or most people on the road and I would probably appreciate if you stayed away from me with your said Hummer. I love people who use incredibly flawed logic publicly in order to make statements that can't hold up under scrutiny.
Subprime Loans not the Lenders Fault
"I would like to encourage those who have a subprime loan and who may be facing foreclosure or risking other financial problems because of their mortgage to consult an attorney to inquire about a class action suit against the predatory, unscrupulous mortgage lenders who inflated the financial condition of a borrower, just to sell a mortgage. All the evidence you need is right in the news every day. These loans never should have been approved, and these lenders knew it up front. If you, the American citizen, were robbed at gunpoint or someone broke into your home, the thief would be held accountable, so the predatory lenders should be, too. They are stealing your emotional security as well as your financial security. I am not a person who has been duped by this scam. I am a concerned citizen who is saddened for those put in - so go for it." - Sharpsburg

I know this is going to sound insensitive, but quite honestly, a subprime loan is not the fault of the lender, no one forced a person to take it, they did so willingly. As a matter of fact, a bailout of people who went into these kind of loans actually hurts those of us that acted responsibly and did not jump at something we knew was too good to be true. If a 25 year old knows better than to go after an ARM because it is too risky then why should someone that has actually had a house before not understand this. Don't go and start lawsuits that take my tax dollars away because we have to fund regulation that provides some type of special assistance for reading contracts so people don't get confused when they try and buy a house. Personal responsibility is what should be emphasized here, do your research, read the fine print and if something is too good to be true then it probably is. I'm sorry if people not doing this has already taken its toll, but I don't think it is anyone's fault but their own. The best way to stop this type of lending is to vote with your dollars and not take out the loans, do this and lenders will stop offering them.
