I like a joke as much as the next person but come on!
This sort of commenting only normally happens with people who you are frustrated with;
it's really not funny to lose a job.
There must be better subjects for your humor.

@ mdmick, i don't think anyone is having a laugh at peoples misfortunes.. Having any job right now is like walking on rice paper.. So no-one is stupid enough to take fun out of the situation.

we could all see this coming.
There will also never be a sustainable recovery in house prices as long as unemployment continues to rise.
The recovery we see at the moment is due to very low transactions and the policies of our goverment,QE and IR setting at record lows and will be short lived.
Anyone who advocates buying property now (because you will miss the boat) is very shortsighted and has no real grasp of economics, KP and Smiling are good examples of this.
