Hey What – I was just kidding with my “Parody” of you. Relax, you will live longer.
To the asshole that used my name. Read this shit. The reason Mortgage applications were up because, they are sumiting the same person to multiple lenders. So one would think Mortgage applications are up. To quote “Refinance volume increased 53.9 percent during the week ending Jan. 4, while purchase volume jumped 14.7 percent. Refinance applications accounted for 57.7 percent of total applications, compared with 50.9 percent the previous week. ” Why because the crackheads are looking for that last hit. In a refi now if there is no benefit to the borrower then, MORTGAGE DENIED!!!!!! So Joe 6 Pack and Chuckie is skullfuck!
Did read the comments of AT&T CEO? He said there is a weak demand for consumer products. Which will lead to layoffs, which will lead to recession, which will lead to deflation, which will lead to falling house prices, which will lead to depression, which will lead in to getting skullfucked by John Holmes!!!!!!
The What
Someday this war is gonna end… No the war is not over!
9.18, you need to brush up on your prejudices. The last census showed that asians had the highest avergae level of education in the US (and household income also). Whites came in second. Get with it.
Overall educational ability of a group comes from cultural emphasis of that groups parents on education. Its a big secret for some reason.
Reading 1 to 3 grades above today’s standards is about as impressive you holding a paying job, 9:33.
@9:18 AM.
That has to be the lamest response ever to this program. I take offense to what you’re saying. I’m not white; wealthy – maybe only in comparison to you.
Get your own persona asshole! Lookie here,9 days into the new year and everything is going to shit. Here boys and girls read this.

“But today’s banking system as pointed out in recent Investment Outlooks, has morphed into something entirely different and inherently more risky. Our modern shadow banking system craftily dodges the reserve requirements of traditional institutions and promotes a chain letter, pyramid scheme of leverage, based in many cases on no reserve cushion whatsoever”
Plus Countrywide shares take another hit. Countryfried is done. Folks if that happens, we are superfucked!!!

BTW Banks are NOT MAKING any mortgages!!! There are serious problems for house in contract!!! This is no bullshit.
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
Yes, it’s just you #9:12AM. These kids are 1 to 3 grades above their age group. Let’s not dumb everything down to your level.
i think we should call them “wealthy and white” programs.
LMFAO 8:40
I think gifted is better than re-gifted, don’t you?
