Snowflake Storm 2017
#NotMySnowflake
The snow(flake) storm of 2017 has been vicious. Everywhere you look there are entitled babies screaming about hatred, racism, and intolerance.
The interesting part is that the build their message on their own hatred, racism, and intolerance.
Not only is it incredibly convenient to call others these names, but it is also significantly hypocritical. How does one expect to be taken seriously when they use hate to attack those that do not hate? How can a snowflake project their own racism on others simply because they don't yet understand that emotion without logic is less "right" and more closely identified as a mental disease?
If snowflakes wish to be taken seriously, there are a few things they must do. Firstly, put down the kool aide. Just because emotion is "easier" to process than logic, give logic a chance. Sometimes just saying something doesn't make it true. Sometimes saying it enough and getting others to say it makes it feel so good that reality is no longer important. Once a snowflake falls into that trap, they are no longer able to understand why others do not experience the same reality that they do. Secondly, be honest. Admit you don't want to debate or even discuss. You want others to agree with you wholeheartedly. You find yourself empowered by the notion that you are abe to dismiss somebody with self righteous anger for not agreeing with you. Relax, realize that you're not as special as the participation trophy made you feel. Take a breath and realize that your parents and teachers let you down when they led you to believe that being such a short sighted and annoying creature was somehow "ok".

The Mortgage Crisis
The mortgage crisis could not have been an accident. The people that "approved" the mortgages KNEW that:
- Were going to have prohibitive payments in 12 to 24 months
- Were going to be on property worth far less than what they sold for within 12 to 24 months
- Would be forclosed on because they couldn't sell for the amount of the mortgage
Bankers blame it on homeowners making bad decisions or not having foresight. However, those bankers get very uncomfortable when you point out that these mortgage were all approved by bankers that get PAID to know the market and it's trends.
When you point out that regular people like you and I saw this coming back in 2004/2005, they start to tap their fingers and look around nervously.
The short answer is that they set us up and we don't know "why".
Mortgages traditionally require people prove they can make the payments even when the market is not headed down. The banks knew exactly what they were doing...
The Media On It's Knees
Why is it that the mainstream media is clamoring on their knees in front of Obama as if their unwarranted affection will somehow lower his zipper and give them what they so desperately seem to want?
