107. What a stupid thing to even suggest
FU, there is absolutely no moral equivalence here at all. Any one who would try to make a comparison about the morality of owning another human being to people having the right to gamble with their own land is too stupid to operate a keyboard. The guy gambled and he lost. If I could, I would rewrite their tax laws. The proper analogy here is flood insurance. As far as I can tell, FI may be required when the mortgage company holds the deed but not when the homeowner owns it. As the out right owner of a house, you have the right to gamble with the possibility of a flood, it is foolish and you might lose everything but it is your right to do so. The guy was a fool but there is no punishment for being one there are consequences and this guy just received them.
Once again Foff
