I think the banks would try to work with people until the economy is rolling again. That's what's happening here.

I agree. Morality is about the use of power. The concept of mercy implies a kind of counter power: the power of the innocent to elicit pity and compas...

1389 Global Gift Blvd, North Pole. Lawyers are so helpful.

Sure! Yes. I don't think there's any logic that overcomes skepticism there, you just have to look at the cost of it: how much do you actually lose if ...

Yep. I'm glad I talked to you.

Wow. How much does it cost to clean up a site like that? Do they have to take the dirt away?

Ok, thanks. Have you bought any foreclosed properties by any chance? Jeese. I just googled car mechanic hazardous waste. They're the largest producers...

You and I can assert the same proposition. Logically, that means the proposition is neither our utterances nor the sentences we use. See what I mean?

Yep. I fell in love with this former car mechanic shop. I need to find out if it has a buried waste tank or something.

You probably should because your avatar looks like a sperm.

They're special because they're supposed to transcend any particular speaker. You and I can express the same proposition in different ways at differen...

I went to a tax foreclosure auction. It was interesting. It was for 6 acres with a mobile home on it. The opening bid was $25,000 and it sold for $45,...

How did you meet?

It wasn't really a question. :razz: You don't know for sure that you and your client have the same understanding. In exactly the same way, you don't k...

Well, what did you mean by: What companies are you talking about?

I don't think that's enough to get attention. You'd need to add a cat somehow.

Is it possible that this is happening in spite of a rift in understanding? Could it be that you're applying certain rules correctly, and so there are ...

It's a no fly zone.
