    - If no one wants to buy in any capitalist situation; you gotta lower your price - Will Hunting Dec 22, 08:04

SITWAP: 10 worst real-estate markets for 2009. -- (link) - TaurusII Dec 22, 07:51 5
- I'm surprised to see DC on there. With the fed govt., employment will be more stable than in many other areas, helping to cushion falls in prices. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 22, 07:53 2
  - I'm less surprised, since home prices have been way out of reach of government workers. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 07:54 1
    - Home prices are out of reach for many people all over the place, doesn't change teh point that employment will be more resistant to economy collapsing -- nm - Don Homer Dec 22, 07:56

SITWAP: New prank: Make a copy of someone else's license plate, put it on your car, run red-light camera intersections. -- (link) - TaurusII Dec 22, 07:41 19
- Wait, the peopel are mad about the camreas and not at teh students doing this? Fucking morons. - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 22, 07:47 2
  - "Our civil right to break the law without consequences!" -- nm - Morons Dec 22, 08:00
  - exactly. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 07:49
- If they really wanted the message to get across, they should use plate numbers of city councilors or police officials. -- nm - Reagen Dec 22, 07:43 14
  - what a load of crap, though. It has nothing to do with a civil rights violation. It's petty revenge on the part of the teens. That's just some parent - loosilu Dec 22, 07:45 13
    - I agree, I'm just giving them some civil disobedience lessons. - Reagen Dec 22, 07:46 12
      - exactly, which is how we know it has nothing to do with civil disobedience. they're just pricks. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 07:49
      - Speeding and running red lights cause many deaths each year...if these help limit that, GOOD! -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 22, 07:48 10
        
        there are studies that show redlight cameras cause more accidents than they prevent. -- nm - Reagen Dec 22, 07:50 8
        
        The worst is when the red light cameras are used on lights that purposely have very short yellows. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 22, 07:59 1
        
        Yes, that is bad...but is it worse than people who feel like they don't need to follow the law and stop? No. Of the two wrongs, one is minor. - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 22, 08:10
        
        Rear end accidents from people following too close...which have a low fatality rate...side impact from a red light runner, much more fatal - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 22, 07:54
        
        which is legitimate, but has nothing to do with this story. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 07:53
        
        and other studies that show the opposite. Out of interest, what's the explanation given for red-light cameras causing accidents? -- nm - Roger More Dec 22, 07:53 3
        
        Bad drivers that think yellow lights means "go very fast" -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 22, 07:57
        
        car in front hits the brakes, while second car is trying to run the yellow. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 07:56 1
        
        ah - thanks -- nm - Roger More Dec 22, 07:57
        
        and this game means they have to run red lights on purpose. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 07:49
- I'd use a more serious word than "prank". -- nm - Don Homer Dec 22, 07:42
