[07:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	or 1%
[07:26]	Isambard_Prince	So the lender probably gave him a lot more than the real value of the building.
[07:26]	Isambard_Prince	They'll sell it and get peanuts and might get back 50-60% of what they gave him.
[07:27]	Isambard_Prince	Cash out refi is a huge scam.

[07:40]	Isambard_Prince	The UK certainly has lots of criminals that wouldn't be eligible to visit or get residency or citizenship, if they weren't already citizens.
[07:41]	Isambard_Prince	If a child molestor from Mexico wants to come move in next door to you, should your immigration system let them in?
[07:42]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], Bill next door was talking about how the cops raided some illegals in the house behind our complex.
[07:42]	Isambard_Prince	For selling heroin.
[07:42]	Isambard_Prince	I said "They should hang them high. Right next to the child molestors. This country has forgotten what you do with criminals. In Japan they still hang them."
[07:44]	Isambard_Prince	There's only two kinds who broadly don't want to hang serious criminals.
[07:44]	Isambard_Prince	Serious criminals, and gun-grabbing liberal judges and lawyers who live behind a tall fence and private security carrying Glocks.
[07:45]	Isambard_Prince	When you're immune from the problems you are causing, you don't tend to care what happens to criminals.
[07:45]	Isambard_Prince	So people who rape 9 year olds get a week in county jail.
[07:46]	Isambard_Prince	Because the children of the lawyers and judges are going to private schools.

[07:46]	Isambard_Prince	And their own family is in no danger.
