Yeah, they invited businesses and entrepreneurs to take advantage of Facebook's tremendous ability to reach out to the public, and then slap them with mandatory limits that they have to pay to remove.

That's called blackmail / extortion. Or a good business model in some circles.

Over on Google+, there are a lot of photographers using Facebook and were relying on Facebook distribution to their clientele. They were all taken by surprise without warning. It didn't take long to figure out that content was missing. It's quite a topic of discussion over there on Google+.

Facebook didn't promise it wouldn't put up a "paywall" (for lack of a better term). Like I said, free market capitalism. If you don't want all your eggs in one basket, you probably shouldn't put them there. Personal responsibility and such. Facebook is a private organization like all the others and can run their business as they see fit within the confines of what they're legally allowed to do.

You're not suggesting more regulations or anything are you?

So... who's fault is that for approving them? I guess that's where I stand.

I'm not saying the "homeowners" didn't make bad decisions, but considering the avg. level of intelligence in America is a HS diploma, they aren't exactly fiscal geniuses.

Don't you dare ask if they can afford to pay the loan. That's discrimination.

:fastforward:

Hey' date=' how come all of these houses have 3 mortgages and nobody inside has a job? You evil, evil corporation!![/quote']

Verifying income is part of the loan process... regardless of your race, creed, or sex.

Regardless, two wrongs = right??

Did I miss something? That's only for "fan pages" (or people so narcissistic that they use the "Promote" feature on their personal pages).

Besides, it's a perfect business model... provide something for free that's addictive -- then begin charging for it. Free market.

$1B compared to the total amount received is a laughable slap in the face to governmental regulations.

Ok, except for MT's advice.

In fact, everything MT says should probably be heeded as 'life gospel'. In MT we trust.

I'm not knocking your approach -- "ask others' with experience" is a great tactic and will get you far, so you're mature enough to realize what you don't know and humble enough to ask for advice. Good.

The point is, and I know I'm being presumptuous here, how many people on an Ohio Motorcycle site do you think you'll get good advice from? You'll get advice... but the caliber and quality is all over the board, just realize that if you take others' advice from here (that aren't MT) and you crash and burn. It's really about how well you vet the advice right? And if you're vetting peoples' advice anyway, you'll already be doing research on other sites way more applicable to your financial conundrum than here. The best you'll be able to get here is someone elses' experiences that may or may not apply to you.

If your excuse for why something ever failed is "Well, these guys on the internet motorcycle site I frequent said it was a good idea" -- then you have some introspection to be doing...preferably while nose deep in blow off a hookers' ass.

The fact that you asked for financial advise on this forum shows poor financial sense

Truer words have never been spoken.

What would you do in my shoes?

Hookers and blow.

That's always been the answer on ORDN.

I'm working through my Mazda badge... so I have B,A,and S tunes for my miata RX7 and RX8... so whatever class you wanna race as long as it's B,A, or S

So what kind of trap speed should you expect out of a ZX10 with a big fat kid on it?

Ex Big Fat Kid (Jinxy-boy) was trapping low 150s (153-ish).... I was thoroughly impressed.

I'll play forza4 if there's someone to race with, but I'm a BF3 guy right now. I've got Madden 12 too, but I got sick of it.

The burglar, Jeffrey Carson, 29...has an extensive criminal history including drug and breaking and entering convictions, according to court documents.

"Pay the gay away"

I look forward to the informed and rational discourse from the resident biblethumpers and bigots on OR.

Think you may be in the wrong place if that's what you're waiting for...

I do not care what two adults do to - or with - each other. I don't even care if they get the financial perks. More power to them.

What bothers me is when said couples decide to have/adopt children. That is where I draw a line. I will always believe a little kid has a right to grow up with a Mother and a Father.

Save the debate about how awful some traditional marriages are and how super-awesome some gay couples are. It's just not right to exclude half the equation from a kid, if it's avoidable.

It took 3 pages (or 60% of 1 NinjaNick page), but I'm gonna go ahead and ask Cheech to sign below for his delivery from nurkvinny.
