Singh,<BR/><BR/>I do know people like that.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I also have a Sony HDTV capable set, and while it hasn't been unplugged for the past six weeks, it often might as well be. Unlike the ones you speak of, I don't make a big deal of it. Life's too short to make everything into a point of argument or an attempt at being superior (Which I'm definitely not. Just because I don't watch much TV doesn't mean I don't waste time in plenty of other ways).<BR/><BR/>I watched one episode of "Survivor" when it first came out because I had some small illusion that there might be some small bit of something that might be interesting or useful to me. (At the time I was a guide, I have worked with wilderness SAR organizations in the past, and am certified in wilderness medicine.)<BR/><BR/>Of course, there is nothing of use to anybody who might find themselves in a real survival situation, just as there is probably very little in any of the "housing" reality shows that has much utility to a real estate professional, or anything in Trump's show that you would really use in managing an actual business.<BR/><BR/>In the end, all these shows are nothing but more elaborate and well-produced versions of what we used to call "game shows."<BR/><BR/>With one exception (an old guy who was an ex marine, I think), everybody on that original "survivor" programs I saw would probably be dead inside a week. Not because they neeed to be, but because they were too stupid and egomaniacal to do what they needed to in order to save themselves.<BR/><BR/>-btcBelowTheCrowdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552438597126368661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-70736597744042468172007-05-15T14:51:00.000-07:002007-05-15T14:51:00.000-07:00I deleted my comments because I realized I don't k...I deleted my comments because I realized I don't know enough about Heekee one way or the other to say anything.flailing forwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07029787271006871531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-370303805071186902007-05-15T14:36:00.000-07:002007-05-15T14:36:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.flailing forwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07029787271006871531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-20727610566293542042007-05-15T14:14:00.000-07:002007-05-15T14:14:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.flailing forwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07029787271006871531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-65061596851993965282007-05-15T13:34:00.000-07:002007-05-15T13:34:00.000-07:00So if it is offensive it should not be allowed?

Sometimes they would have their consultant (that 'expert' female) that would give them pretty decent advice regarding what to do, what not to change, and how to maximize their profit, and most of those peeps would just look at her like "Ummm, I'm the budding real estate mogul here lady, and I'm the one that the banks are lending money to" and pretty much ignore her completely and spend too much on upgrades. Sounds a little familiar right? <BR/><BR/>2. Most of these people were WAAAAAY over their heads when it came to buying a house. I mean, the java jockey who prolly makes 20 K per year bought a 400K house I think. Of course his credit was ruined by the end, not to mention his rents who he borrowed money from got screwed as well.<BR/><BR/>3. A lot of them proved to be lazy and incompetent. Remember that dual couple that bought the million dollar home and ended up breaking even (or so they say). One of the husbands ended up doing all the work, and the wife of the other one shows up and demands "I want this house finished now, you hear me, now!" Then she trotted off to take care of her kid. Give me a break. Must be nice to just demand things and expect it to just happen. (Her husband was off on business and I think chipped in like day)<BR/><BR/>4. When they saw their profits dwindling (They all thought they could make 100K for 8 weeks work), most of them went on the cheap and did shoddy work. Screw the greater fool became their motto.<BR/><BR/>5. Most of them thought it 'neat' to be able to call themselves real estate investors. The Moffitts once again comes to mind. Big brother would just walk in now and then glaring and looking concerned that not much had been done, while his poor brother who moved across state lines with a family to join his real estate ventures ended up being screamed at by Brother one's wife for not getting everything done quickly enough. ALL of them had dreams of creating a business flipping houses, and most of them failed on their first attempt. Not in the beginning though, when real estate was going up anyway and could compensate for all the mistakes the newer guys did.<BR/><BR/><BR/>But hey, at least they dared to dream...blah blah blah....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-66019192793985032132007-05-15T11:46:00.000-07:002007-05-15T11:46:00.000-07:00www.iamfacingforeclosure.com.
