-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-@willhill@joindiaspora.com: ### Facebook is a Fail I hate how some organizations make their only public announcements on Facebook. Most people are NOT of Facebook and can't see your conversations there. Even people foolish enough to follow you there may not get the message. It is NOT a public network and is worthless for notifying the public, advocacy or anything you consider important.May 04 10:37

As with the Faroe Islands, the United Kingdom occupied Iceland (to pre-empt a German occupation) but later turned it over to the United States, before that country entered the war in 1941. Iceland became a fully independent republic in 1944 and has remained so thereafter."May 04 16:09

schestowitzSpain collapses along with other nations where people fall for the mortgage scamMay 08 06:57
schestowitz"Despite the infamous British obsession with property, we’re far from being Europe’s top home-owning nation. Figures from Nationwide reveal that home ownership in Britain (the percentage of owner-occupied homes as a percentage of the housing stock) lags behind the likes of Hungary, Spain, Greece and Italy. Indeed, British home ownership peaked back in 2003 at 71%, with the high cost of property one key reason for the decline."May 08 06:58
schestowitz"May 08 06:59
schestowitz“home ownership in Britain … lags behind the likes of Hungary, Spain, Greece and Italy.”May 08 06:59
schestowitzIs it just coincidence that all four of those countries are in financial difficulty? If not, I would much prefer our level of home ownership to “lag” much further.May 08 06:59
schestowitz"May 08 06:59
schestowitz"Isn’t home ownership where you own the deeds to your property and not renting from the bank with mortgages like the majority of people in the UK"May 08 06:59
schestowitz"@ Jimmy: you note the highest ownership, and the financial trouble they are in, but neglected the lowest ownership, by far Germany, and the fact they are one of the wealthiest nations in the world."May 08 07:00
schestowitz"I think it may well be linked. Countries that have low levels of value add business (such as banking) try to push levels of debt higher, and this involves buying houses at higher prices compared to wages. All the failing countries have declining manufacturing. My limitied knowledge is that Germany has supported manufacturing, France has limited debt, Hungary and UK both have declining manufacturing."May 08 07:00
schestowitz"Perhaps low home ownership = higher mobility of workforce, hence more competitive economies, i.e. Germany. 'May 08 07:00
schestowitz"One tired piece of nonsense house price bears constantly trott out is that Europeans prefer to rent rather than buy. No they do not, a number of other European states have similar or higher levels of ownership. Mortgage and rental laws in Germany have artificially restrained home ownership but these have been reformed and home ownership is on the rise. This map usefully proves the point. 'May 08 07:01

schestowitz"May 08 07:02
schestowitz"The Germans as a people are quite risk-averse. You only need to look at all the different types of useless insurance policies you can buy here to confirm this. They tend to see a property as a home rather than an investment. Therefore your average German doesn’t consider buying property until he /she is married. It is then normal to buy (or build) a house and live there for 20-30 years. This is also due to costs of buying a May 08 07:03

This article explains the whole process clearly. In the US, the bubble popped and mortgage-backed securities lead to the systematic foreclosure fraud. "May 08 07:17
schestowitz"Without the bubble's high prices, there would have been no need for so much money to pour into mortgages. Thus, I think mortgage-backed securities should be banned entirely. However, the low rate of housing construction in the UK"May 08 07:18
