Debate House Prices
In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

Looking on the positive side: Why falling house prices are a good thing

It's a good job you are always here to correct these anomalies. If these bears keep posting doom stuff without your corrections who knows what might happen? I salute you sir, as a defender of this forum.no i shouldn't.
because despite what many of the HPC ghetto believe that by bumping the same thread repeatedly about a 0.5% fall on a monthly index or making up that prices have fallen derived from a RICS report will sway peoples thinking - it only makes them look even more desperate than they look already...

OK, I`ll spell it out for you.
You typed.......
"demanding lower house prices on a forum ain't going to happen."
I (admittedly, being a little pedantic) replied, saying that it is happening (which clearly, it is).
You still disagreed with my claim.
So i`ll type what you should have typed.......
demanding lower house prices on a forum ain`t going to make it happen.

i never once said on that post house prices will rise - you made that bit up...I suppose if you can`t beat them, join them.......
If you think that it`s a good thing that house prices will rise, or that you think house prices will rise, why don`t you just go and buy as many houses as you can ? Tell you what, I`ll start by selling you mine for 3 x local salary.
See ? That`s a bit c**p really, isn`t it ?
and as for buying as many as i can - i did...
so you're assumption is a bit rubbish... not to worry...Dear oh dear. I was begining to think that I might be having some reasonable debates, discussions and arguments with you. All you seem to be doing now is typing things that don`t make much sense or taking things to the extreme. This behaviour is a tad childish.
do you want to start again and actually answer the question...0 -
so you're telling me what i should have typed... right... is that how you think forums work. you tell everyone what to type?OK, I`ll spell it out for you.

ahhh... you're want this to be like HPC.co.uk where you only want like minded people on the forum... nice one but people are bit more intelligent on this side...0 -

Not at all. I want to debate/argue topics of interest. I want to be able to understand what other forum users are typing. I don`t expect perfect spelling, punctuation etc. I want some banter, humour, and even a few (slightly heated) arguments.
I don`t expect people to tell me what I`m thinking or wanting. I try my best to convey that through my posts. I don`t tell anyone what they are thinking (as you seem to), I hope they can put their thoughts and opinions into understandable text.
For an example of the points I have just made, read your last paragraph.30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much. Savings : That's asking for ridicule.0 -
i've corrected it for you... i hope that it's all ok for you now...For an example of the points I have just made, read your last paragraph.
you're starting to show that typcial character trait where the poster cannot reply to the points made to him so he decides to point out grammer, spelling mistakes or anything that he can do so he doesn't have to answer the original points made to him...
i thought that you were better than that...0 -

Sorry to dissapoint you.
A couple of things though. I can`t see the correction you claim to have made. If you`d like to give me examples of any points that have been made to me that I might have avoided, then I`ll be only too happy to reply to them. I can assure you that I don`t have a character trait that makes me avoid any points. Obviously I`m not going to answer every post directed towards me, but I certainly won`t ignore or deflect from anything that I might be wrong on, or have difficulty arguing against.30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older.

don't worry you can make it up to me...Sorry to dissapoint you.
it's not exactly that important... it's only a t'internet forum...A couple of things though. I can`t see the correction you claim to have made.

Yes, but you have implied that I cannot reply to some points made to me. I`ll ask you again, point them out and I`ll answer them. Honestly, I`d like to, that`s why I`m here.30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much. Savings : That's asking for ridicule.0 -
