Schenectady Hindu congregation addresses suicide among Guyanese

http://www.strategypage.com/humor/articl...171032.asp

Rumour has it that Schenectady is built on a toxic dump  and I am wondering whether this has any thing to do with the spike in suicides  . Apparently a call went out for settlers to go and live in that place but they were no takers . It seemed that only guyanese were dumb enough to take up the offer.

They were not forced the were misled...they were ill-informed...and they were conned to buy property that the realtors themselves would not have bought.

[/quote] Whe something sounds too good to be true it usually is. They were lured by cheap real estate prices by unscruplous realtors without questioning as to why it was so cheap

Some of these realtors should be ashamed for what they have done to innocent and gullible people. They are nothin more than blood-suckers....sucking the life out of these folks.
