Scripps Investments & Loans 17 percent return didn't last
Pioneer being a glaring exception. Scripps operated on a much grander scale, but these investors knew what they were getting themselves into. It's called due diligence. If you don't do your due diligence, it's called greed, and you get what you deserve. ====================== Pioneer, still geting press after all these years!! No one deserves to get scammed, but you are correct, if you have cahs to invest in these deals wiht too good to be true ROI, then due dilligence will set you free. Having said that I RECENTLY saw a VERY unsphosticated minority women with little formal education, making $20K per year at a retial store, get scammed for over $1 million in a ponzi type scheme, she had inherieted the $1 million, and these frauds just scammed and conned her. She was not to blame. I agree due dilligence is a big part of investing but that does not give crooks a license to defraud people, and the victim should not be blamed-at leats not in a major way outside of failing to due their DD.— June 10, 2011 10:07 p.m.
San Diego dating service doesn't satisfy
And yes, men will always want someone young, and thin (or at least not fat). And women will always want someone tall, with hair, and monetarily secure. =========== TY for speaking for all men and all women, glad to know you have met everyone and know we all want the same thing as you do. I dont want someone young, she doesn't have to be thin and I am sure there are plenty of women who go out with men who are short or average height and some who are bald-in fact most guys age 50 or older have at least thin hair.— June 10, 2011 9:59 p.m.

Parking Meters May Be Coming to Bays, Beaches, and Parks
"If the City were to implement a parking fee during peak utilization times, it could generate significant revenue for the General Fund." ===================== "If the City were to implement a compensation cut of 50%-60% for over comped firewhiners, it could generate a significant reduction of the deficit in the General Fund." Fixed.— June 10, 2011 2:43 p.m.

Scripps Investments & Loans 17 percent return didn't last
In one Arizona project, “The lender [Scripps] made more in loan origination and forbearance fees than the property is worth,” says New Jersey–based real estate consultant Amnon Cohen, who was brought in by investors to help rescue two projects. “Some of the losses were due to the economy, some to poor underwriting and greed, some to questionable due diligence, questionable acts. I spoke to investors who basically said it was too easy making so much money.” ========================== One woman sued for fraud, but a North County judge said that she was a college grad, knowledgeable in real estate, who knew that an investment making 17 percent was risky. ======================== If you want to play high risk games/gambles, then you better be ready for the bath that comes at the end of the ride.— June 8, 2011 12:13 p.m.
Being a Dick
Like I said, I know this is going to be bad singing - and probably bad acting too - but why does that matter? Why do I feel like it would be a waste of my time to go see some average people perform? ===================== You seem to be able to read the future-can you give me next weeks lotto numbers???????? The concert may or may not be a bomb, but you have no idea right now, not until you hear it with your own ears.— June 8, 2011 12:09 p.m.
