    Always the poor man who pays. Insurance companies get millions and can always find a loop hole on why they should'nt pay and then the law backs them. Could it be because of who they are?

    ha ha ha, evil bastards, wripping off destitute black people and white trash who had their trailer demolished, so the rich can get richer.

    When are people going to learn?

    EAT THE RICH!

    They are fat and tasty, good eatin!

    ...And this year, the next army of wind demons marches on the States, with global temperatures once again the highest ever recorded. I figure New Orleans will be a shallow lake in 10 years, with dive attractions to the buildings under water.

    Why even bother paying for insurance anymore? They always find a way out of paying out.

    Sort of like banks, the insurance companies keep getting richer...that's how you get to be on top. Promise, but include fine print to weasel out of having to pay.
    Without insurance payments, there'll be a lot of people looking for financial help from the government.

    Problem is, the insurance companies have us scared to death NOT to get insurance. I understand that many Asians who buy homes (andpay cash) over on this side of the pond, do not bother with home insurance, even if the place sits empty. Asians are generally regarded as good gamblers, and they gamble that nothing will go wrong until they are ready to move in.

    I cannot imagine a "whitey" attempting to do that.....
