brandon, dont talk, you probably have atleast that laying aroun in your apartment. Do you have insurance on your stack in your closet? You probably have 20k in clothes and camera equiptment? I bet joe gets a great "discount" on renting?

i do have alot of money in stuff laying around my apartment, but i also have renters insurance and am very familiar with my policy and what it covers and what i need to do to get paid back.

The stack of money was short lived thing that i let sit around to long and that would have been my fault if it all burned up. I just started putting a little away once and next thing i knew there was alot more than i was comfortable with sitting in there. Yea it would have sucked to lose a couple grand in cash but it was only in there for maybe a few months and has been deposited now for quite a while.

But at the same time i realize that would have been my fault for letting cash burn up and i would not have been crying about it to everyone else to help pay me back or give me free shit becuase i was being reckless.

oh no, not a shot at my rims again. When will it end?!?!?!

And sorry i wasn't granted with totally awesome credit when i turned 18? Not sayin you were either. But i guess its dumb to get someone with almost perfect credit to cosign on a loan rather then take one out myself and spend a bunch more. And who says i don't have renters insurance?

it will end when you stop trying to "call me out" on some seriously pointless shit. You make no sense in your wicked sick disses. Your flat billed hat "bro" mantality really shines through on here. You may not have had good credit or even any credit when you were 18. Cool, alot of people dont. But guess how you get good credit?

I'm no banker, but i'd have to agree with "dontgotaride" on this one....it makes alot more sense to have a co-signer on what seems like his first car loan, than to get a loan by himself, and probably lower his interest rate by 5%+....AND it will still help him get good credit.

now i wont disagree, but as far as i know ( and im not saying i couldnt be wrong) but his loan isnt in his name with a cosigner. Its his grandparents loan. That was why i said "guess how to get good credit". By having his name on it. Im making an assumption from what i had read in other threads but its not like he would admit that it wasnt in his name anyway.

I may be the first person in the history of the internet to admit that i dont know his situation. Nor do i care about it. If im wrong about it im wrong about it. The only reason i even made the comment is becuase he thinks he needs to prepetuate this childish bickering becuase hes still all ass jammed about everyone making fun of him in past threads.

I could care less what you say about my rims lol. They aren't blue anymore I don't own the car anymore either. And my sorry you have to react so much at an innocent little fs stab. And sir, I can be a smartass with out being a flat brimmed hat wearing bro, bro.

This post is deleted!

[thrash]

can you guys take your lovers' quarrel to myspace or something?

i was hoping that this thread would get back to talking about why people shouldn't have to honor agreements they signed and why their word shouldn't mean anything, and ideally, to get a neat list of all those people and have it made into a sticky'd post.

This has everything to do with socialism: which is the idea that whatever most people think is best for most people goes. Cableone is just some shitty company everyone hates. What right do they have to have their contracts enforced and their property rights protected? None, according to you. **Apparently, people that didn't bother to get renters insurance **had something horrible happen to them, and now they are absolved of all responsibility?

That's not the rule of law. That's the rule of some men over other men.

Why don't you donate $99 DVRs to all of these fire victims? That way you can put your compassion where your internet tough guy mouth is.

My wife's co worker has a relative in that building and HAS renters insurance and said renters insurance doesnt cover cable one's shit... Just sayin...

[thrash]

That's lousy. It doesn't actually change my argument, though.

A good friend had 3 DirecTV receivers in his apartment in the Galleria. DirecTVs replacement cost was $1200. I forgot to ask how many of those were dvr receivers. Cable One is not the only company requiring their customers to pay for damaged receivers though. I have to wonder why they are the only ones getting all the negative press.

I understand that they have a contract so they are responsible for it, but for the sake of good press, and helping out your neighbors, Im pretty sure these companies could sell them at cost or something to the people with extenuating circumstances. Sounds like a resonable compromise to me.....

KVLY did a report and they said they called other competitors and the competitors said they would have gone case by and prolly not made them pay.... they didnt cite who they contacted but they said one of the companies was a big provider to many Katrina victims and didnt make those people pay either

My memory may be a little foggy, things may be different, or I could be wrong, but the two that come to mind are "acts of war" and "acts of god". I don't know what "acts of god" is supposed to mean, but I do know that "act of war" is something that has been in life insurance (and probably a couple of other insurances) in the past. Under circumstances that have been labeled by a higher authority as "act of ___", it may give excuses to avoid payment.
