    There is a market for them because people here are too willing to give up their freedom. what right does a HOA have to define terms on land that you buy. oh right i forgot. you dont own your land. you lease it from the government. so i guess they have all the rights in the world to do what they want to you, because the government is obviously enforcing it. keep letting the government take away your freedoms. and the really sad thing is, people here are endorsing the loss of personal freedom.

    Say you don't like the "overbearing" HOA rules.
    March your happy arse down to your next HOA meeting and SAY SOMETHING.
    They mail you a nice little letter and everything.

    Just total teen hippie nonsense...

    its not about owning a home, its about being put in jail for not watering your lawn.

    Its about having proper perspective, which includes being empathetic to the circumstance and having a knowledge of the subject itself.

    But if you ever get to into a place, you'll understand...
    You make yourself look just DUMB when you run around sreaming "fight the power", and you have no knowledge of the facts at all.

    Home Owners Associations. Can anyone explain to me what this is exactly?

    Who is this?
    What do they do?
    What authority do they have?
    THANK YOU, LOSTDAWG!

    attack me personally, nice. Is that your last resort in this one?


    Any facts or logic to contend the statement, "A senior citizen has been put in jail for failing to water his lawn."

    Anything?

    just read through the fact on the thread, it's all right there. Many of the posters degrade this country with the enabling of our people...part of my activism is to help restore the values of self-reliance and self-determination.

    And I care very much about that.

    then why are you supporting a neonazi esque homeowners association where they send memebers to jail for failing to follow the rules?

    I'm not, and if you'd read my earlier posts you'd find me quite critical of HOA

    I DO support the the right to choose for yourself and be informed about your own decisions, however.

    there is some truth to that. But you can't tell me a decision in this country could land you in jail, should you fail to water your lawn.-that that is just.

    It sure does. I can see getting a fine with interest, but jail?!?

    This world is self destructing if people actually support this mentality.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Yield6's lack of knowledge, and by that I mean flat ignorance, leads him to oversimplify the problem here.
    clever Asshole blasts notwithstanding.

    There is validity to the statement that people believe they are entitled to
    equity in their home values, but would YOU flush 300k down the drain?
    If you would then your'e a pinko commie and can leave anytime.

    Other then that, you are copletely uninformed.

    fight the power.....with ingnorance!

    What am I uninformed about?

    The only meaingful sentence in your pile of worthless rhetoric is "you would flush 300K down the drain?"

    Now that's something of an argument. But it looks like you'd rather resort to name-calling and ad hominem than really discussing the issue at hand.

    What are you so afraid of?
