My landlord won't accept a write-down on my rent. Why should I be exempt?

Because you didn't party?

Ask David Hall how screwed he personally is?

ask him what his borrowings are.

do it, or drop him.

Or how much he is making on the back of the mortgage crisis?

They want people to pay back only the "negative equity" price, they also defend people who have jobs and can afford to pay their mortgage but default because they don't want to pay their original loan mortgage.

So they defend people who can afford to pay a mortgage but choose not to? Have you evidence of that?

Same here, we need a rental sector version of "New Beginnings".

On various radio programmes (Pat Kenny, Live Line, Newstalk) where people like your man complaining about not been able to move to Limerick were on saying they couldn't pay their mortgage because of negative equity he was agreeing with them. You are very naive if you think that people aren't taking advantage of that.

i cant understand why everyone is standing up for james- hes an arrogant tosser, not to mention triumphant in his attitude

If they cannot pay, then get the hell out of the house they cannot pay for. Renters can't hang around if they 'can't' (or won't) pay the rent, can they?

This country stinks. Everyone trying to live on everyone else's dime.

David Hall and the New Beggings mob have a total monopoly of the airwaves. Nobody is allowed put across the cost to the taxpayer - I wonder why?

There seems to be a massive drive to share the debts of the foolish and lucky with those who were sensible during the bubble. What's the point of doing the right thing in this country? That's the lesson I'm learning.

That's a very simplistic way of looking at things. What I want is the solution that is cheapest to the tax-payer, and that is not necessarily chucking people out of their houses. If we as a country started chucking everyone in financial trouble out of their houses, we'd have a lot more problems than we do now.

There's a massive drive for common sense. The right thing is the best balance of the most cost effective solution to the state and being reasonable with people.

Hmmm a call for 'common sense'?

From Irish people? In this country? 3 FF governments? Jackie Healy Rae? Michael Lowry? Joe Duffy?

Get up the yard!

Very often it will be the cheapest way for the taxpayer. New Beginning and David Hall do not give a toss about the taxpayer. In some cases it might be cheaper to let the borrower surrender the the house and pay MARKET rent plus a portion of their outstanding debt. In other cases again, bankruptcy will be the solution.

Debt write-offs where the 'owners' keep the houses they are not paying for will NEVER be a fair solution.

Sadly, the debt forgiveness brigade - remember, the same people who told us moral hazard would NOT be a problem - have very little time for common sense.

It's now over a month since I last listened to The Lahv Lahn. I had thought about breaking my period of abstinence today but if the topic is suicide it'll be a no............

Let me know if a row breaks out.
