Well of course bankruptcy doesn't pay off your mortgage lol

blank if they were barely in debt why did they file bankruptcy?

no **** they're not going to get decent loans after that - it's not about the bankruptcy it's the refusal to pay interest - if they're just digging out of a hole it's because they got back in debt with astronomical interest and never accumulated any wealth - and if they're headed for retirement they're headed for a new hole

Tell me what privilege successful inner city kids had that helped them escape the bs they were born into, since from your position could not be state of mind. Some people actually make it out you know.

It's amazing to me how many people act like Israel shouldn't exist. Even when a common stated goal of Palestine is genocide against Israel this culture of forgiveness of all things Islamic prevails.

I'm sorry about the dilema that Chula's wife and Occult's mum are in; experienced people who are now the wrong age or insufficiently qualified to find suitable work. In fact, a similar thing happened to me in England; despite experience, I was squeezed out by the up-coming generation who had picked up more computer skills at college.

The sad fact is that in a saturated job market, companies will prefer younger people. In general, they will have more energy, fewer sick days and will be more amenable to company policy, regulations, etc. Older guys have a reputation for being prickly and set in their ways.

Also, governments prefer it that way. If there is going to be an unhappy, unemployed class, older people will cause less trouble; middle-aged people aren't likely to go rioting in the streets and smashing shop windows - however much they may feel like it.

So yeah, we are the sad statistics of modern life - but then, it is essential that young people have jobs. After all, if there is one thing more soul-destroying than being old and unemployable, it's being young and unemployable.

EDIT: What happened to Ewan McColl's dad in the 1930s:-

Occult's mum

Nice little jab there. If you think someone has been, will be, or would be willing to support me financially please PM me their number. Last I checked I've been on my own for decades. I'm sinking but I ain't climbing on anyone else's boat.

PS Boohoo about Palestine. I heard they're getting ****ed.

^ My apologies to you and Dwnwthvwls! I should've checked back and read more carefully; it was Dwnwthvwl's mum not yours. Ok, Occult ?
