true, but how does this misinformation make her in violation of any law? By not knowing the age cut off, there was no law being broken.

Maybe they were going to try and pin abandonment on the shitbrick anyway? Or maybe some weird aboscure law of trying to peddle your own kids. I'm sure it peaked interest. Or maybe they truly wanted to get her help.... NAH that aint happenin LOL

She should have asked for a rain check on the one in the oven while she was there.

Snag Vista Ultimate for free, in exchange for your privacy

Microsoft's been keeping its record pretty clean of late, but we suppose it couldn't end the year without a parting shot meant to cheese off the ultra-private, Microsoft-eats-children types. The company's latest diabolical plan involves giving away free copies of Windows Vista Ultimate, Office Ultimate '07, Money Plus Premium, Encarta Premium or Streets and Trips -- scary, we know. All you need to do is fill out a few surveys now and then, and download a little app that lets Microsoft watch your every move for three months. If you can manage to be a good little pod person for that long, you get a free copy of whatever software title you selected in the mail. But really, can you put a price on dignity? Exactly, you can't, so sign us up!

Update: As our astute readers have pointed out, the big M has pulled the offer of free software from this page. Of course, they're still interested in prying into your personal life and tracking your digital footsteps -- they just don't want to pay for it anymore.

An ARM is like putting a handgun in a child's hands. There is nothing wrong with the hand gun...but they shouldn't give guns to kids just like they shouldn't give ARMs to people who are not extremely financial literate.
I would participate in an ARM, however, I would also invest in instruments that would appreciate after a certain increase in interest rates. Like a "fixed range" of interest rates vs. a single fixed rate.

well put!

It was impossible for these financial savy individual's who took out ARM's to predict the flatline or decline in mortgage value's. Historical trends show home value appreciating alot faster than a rising interest rate. Which is why alot of people went with ARM's because they were able to maximize their cash flow and were'nt planning on staying in the home for a long period of time or it was an investment property.

Now i agree that it was the wrong choice for some of these people but they were the ones who signed and were supposed to read over the documents. Have any of you seen a closing package that was an ARM HOLY COW! their is like 50 pg's that says your rate will increase and their will be negative amortization in every page. These people knew what they were doing and some of them just got to greedy!!!

Oh Yeah this quote unquote bail out is not going to help or cost anything at all because the bill is next to impossible to qualify for, and here is why.

First you can't be late on your mortgage

second the ARM can not be scheduled to adjust until after jan 2008 til july of 09 and can only be purchased between jan 2006 till july 2007

third you have to have below A 660 CREDIT SCORE (impossible because if you qualified for an ARM it was above a 660 and its likely to increase because you're not allowed to be late on your mortgage which boosts your credit)

fourth you have to have less than 3% equity remaining in the home from the original appraised value not the declined value of today

Less than 1/2% of people in ARMS qualify. This was implemented to make it look like the Government is trying to help but all it's doing is putting false hope into people's hearts and will cause more people to loose their homes because they now think they will be saved when in reality their payments will go up and they will be required to pay or foreclose

Why is it that every incident of genocide in the 20th century was perpetrated by governments claiming to be building utopian societies?

What is it about utopia that always leads to mass murder?

Shitty term papers.

loL.

Close, its a final.

"Utilizing the themes of Utopia and Terror, analyze one of the cases of state-sponsored mass murder we have discussed this past semester. You need to place that occurrence of mass murder within the framework of a state attempting to articulate a Utopian order. (Depending on whether you answered question 1 or 2 above, you need to select a different case)."
