    Im interested to know you lot got to such a bitter state that you absolutely despise anyone who took advantage of some very irresponsible lending and thought they could make a money out of the housing market, or is any entrepreneur or person trying to better themselves which you do not like.

    because most of the population despise people who openly brag about unearned personal gain.

    personally, I did the schadenfreude thing back in the early 90's and I'm happy to do it again!
