Should you ever use the defense “that word was totally normal in apartheid South Africa where I grew up?”

The Bears Americans are who we thought they are.

It will definitely get ugly.

‘Murricans keep skipping over that “Truth” part, so we don’t get to the Reconciliation.

Right there with you.

The number that surprises me in this article is that only one third of people are rolling over deft from a previous car loan.  I thought that would be much much higher.

I mean, it also goes deeper than more expensive cars and giving lower rates and longer loans— wages have been flat for a very long time now. Income inequality is at its highest point in decades.

Then there’s the other financial bomb getting ready to go off: credit card debt. This page shows indebted households average over $9000 on their Discover card:

It’s not just cars where people have lost their minds. We so easily screw up with stuff by justifying we need more than we actually do. Here’s how it works with car shopping.

Because those BMWs will be offered with 120 month financing for those who don’t qualify. 

There comes a point when the government needs to step in and set loan term limits under specific situations. Because it doesn’t matter how much you educate people about borrowing and value, some of them will say “yes” to whatever deal you slide across the desk into their sweaty palms. For some people, rich or poor,…

Only one reason to take a 7 year new car loan, you’re actually going to pay it off in a 3 or 5 years but the 7 year has a lower interest rate than the 3 or 5 year loan.

Personally I feel, after he’s out of office, the country should do what the NFL did when they merged with the with the AFL and created the Super Bowl and effectively made it so no one, outside of Packers fans, even remembers or cares about the old Pre SB NFL title game winners anymore.

I used to, but then my doctor told me it was taking too many years off my life, so I had to give it up. Now I just drink a handle of whisky a day. It’s healthier in every way.

“Do you really need a mid-sized family wagon to go any quicker than 4.1 seconds from 0-60? Do you need it to be capable of faster than 174 miles per hour? No, you don’t.“

It’s a me, Pedo!

Couldn’t agree more. I get that he’s a union member, entitled to a defense, and the union is obligated to give him that defense. But in doing so they are endangering the health of a couple hundred other union members whom he will try to concuss if he ever gets to play again. Don’t they have an obligation to protect…

Been watching him since his days at Arizona State. The guy is a cancer. If he were disciplined, he’d be a Hall of Fame player. He was that good even in college. But dumb penalties (mostly Unnecessary Roughness) negate any good work he might ever do as a linebacker. He pretty much ended Dennis Erickson’s coaching…

No, I think it should stay in use. I think we should keep beating that particular dead horse until some player, somewhere, manages to earn a lifetime ban from the NFL for something other than kneeling for the anthem. I want to see the other behavior that makes every team in the NFL say “I don’t care if he’s got talent…

I wonder how much damage, in his quest to injure other people’s heads, Burfict is doing to his own brain. I mean, it’s hard to pity a guy who’s main goal seems to be trying to paralyze other humans under the cover of a “game” but I can’t help but imagine using his head as a battering ram has to have negative impact on…
