Firs...It's actually more complicated than that. Firstly, over the lone term, it's the Japanese who stole the islands not us, and the Hawaiians, Samoans, etc were merely the hammer, the Japanese ruling class/race the hand wielding said hammer. Yes I learned to hate all brown people with a passion because that was pro-survival, but in reality most Polynesians are rather nice people and the idea of letting anyone go hungry is abhorrent to them, as it is to all "primitive" peoples. The Japanese, however, have a long history of using starvation and "food as a weapon" and in the way the Germans effectively taught the Poles to hate Jews, the Japanese ruling race/class there found it very useful to use the brown people to keep the few white people there in Hawaii (the only other group where at least some of which prize education, making them a threat) down. <br /><br />I'm just glad I got the fuck out of there. alex carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458022111793552536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-63359791744528171582019-10-26T09:24:10.813-07:002019-10-26T09:24:10.813-07:00Thanks-I didn't realize the penalties and othe...Thanks-I didn't realize the penalties and other details on the VA loans.

Especially onerus in my opinion. When we got a loan back in 2002 the current prime rate was 6.2% and the VA rate was 11.5%, almost twice as much and a sub-prime was 12%. But, that's not the end of it. If you don't carry a prime loan you are also required to have mortgage insurance which is about $100 per month depending on the amount of the loan. Further, your property insurance is higher too. IOW, anything sub-prime, no matter what it is called, is prohibitively expensive no matter which way you look at it. I have never run the numbers but it may very well be to the buyers advantage to continue to rent and work to getting their credit repaired so that in a few years they are able to get the prime loan. Again, as always, the point is to use less than you have, spend less than you make, yadda yadda.<br /><br />I have known hundreds of what everyone here would call wealthy and never met even one that was vindictive to the poor. They are ambivalent to the financial where with all of others as far as I can tell. Business is business and people in business, yes even small business, know this. People that are not never will understand it - to them everything is feelings and fairness. Except when it's their own money or property on the line. If a poor fuk has $5 stolen from him he will chase you to the end of the world. If a wealthy dood gets ripped for a grand he'll just write it off and move on. They fly at an altitude you will never see down here on the ground. ghostsniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15644187165818782984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-25651753792603230352019-10-26T06:21:08.477-07:002019-10-26T06:21:08.477-07:00Kind of makes you glad we stole those sumbitches i...Kind of makes you glad we stole those sumbitches islands, doesn't it?

In the 70s when I was a teen I was undersized and skinny due to not enough food, and the bullies (I was one white kid in a classroom of 30 or so kids) knew that if they could capitalize on this, maybe they could do me in. So one would pick a fight, we'd go to the Principal's office, where the kid (nonwhite) would get told to go before they missed their lunch, while I was kept in and lectured at just long enough to keep me from eating. <br /><br />And yes, disease and debilitation, if I got a cold it would have me knocked out for 2 weeks, and thank God I never got an injury severe enough to keep me from being able to go out and forage or I'd have starved for whatever length of time I was in bed. <br /><br />"Food is a weapon" was well-known in WWII. alex carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458022111793552536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-88244818118497451022019-10-26T00:47:38.986-07:002019-10-26T00:47:38.986-07:00Dead-on Jim; Libertardians want free stuff.
