    And even the people who did accept ridiculous mortgages and loans and are struggling and defaulting now..how many people when approved for a stupidly high mortgage etc. When they have great jobs and everything looks rosy are going to say...hold on, that's ridiculous.
    The mortgage crisis was just a symptom, not a cause - the underlying cause was profiteering by the banking sector, over-pumping loans and short-term commission-driven profit mania.

    And with every post zara55 makes about the Eurozone, it becomes yet more obvious that she really has no idea what she is talking about.

    Instead of ad-hominem insults, address the argument.

    Have you come here to talk about Eurovision, or are you just stalking my posts? If the latter, I will register a complaint.

    I don't think we were being mean on purpose!

    Oh well, the Azeri government can go back to killing its people off-camera now. Huge sigh of relief all round and the media companies can put all that cash in the bank and hand round some bonuses. I expect the top people of the EBU will get a bonus BMW or Merc each or something, that will be nice, help them forget about their corruption.
