All the people who live in apodments and pay $1625 in rent should definitely stop what they are doing and pay off this guy's house.

what is the bank supposed to do here? forgive his loan? rent to him? how much rent should be charged? can he pay it?

should this be forhim only, for protesting, or for everyone? or just folks who can't pay? btw how will we qualify them, we will have to investigate their statements of assets and earnings. who will do that? government?

when we force thebanks to write off massive loans, it will mean they are no longer in compliance with their debt asset ratio rules. are we taxpayers prepared to inject them with capital to keep them in compliance? or should we let them have risky asset to debt ratios, again?

oh btw while we require loan forgiveness, why not just require all banks to give everyone $200,000 each? surely we all deserve that. in the end, we already own the banks and if we forgive this loan it will mean we forgive lots of them and in the end we the taxpayer are on the hook, or you could say if banks can't count on the foreclosure remedy they bargained for they'll have to triple all interest rates for everyone, causing a new economic crisis and depression. you can't just decree forgiveness without considering various impacts .....there really is no "something for nothing" and the notion we can just decree our way to more net wealth is a bit childish.

Bloggers Beware: You CAN Get Sued For Using Pics on Your Blog - My Story

Here's what I learned about Fair Use:

It DOESN'T MATTER...

if you link back to the source and list the photographer's name
if the picture is not full-sized (only thumbnail size is okay)
if you did it innocently
if your site is non-commercial and you made no money from the use of the photo
if you didn't claim the photo was yours
if you've added commentary in addition to having the pic in the post
if the picture is embedded and not saved on your server
if you have a disclaimer on your site.
if you immediately take down a pic if someone sends you a DMCA notice (you do have to take it down, but it doesn't absolve you.)
