You're kidding, right???? Bankruptcy is a coward's way out (speaking as a small-business owner). Let's teach this kid responsibility!

Uhh, it's the law and it would seem that he qualifies under the law to file. If you have some moral objection to bankruptcy take it up with your congressman. Also stop flying United Airlines, US Airways and Delta.

So...are you in favor of this kid being an absolute financial mess for the next 15-20 years by declaring bankruptcy. It's a fool's way out. Look at how crippled United, US Airways, and Delta are now that their credit-worthiness is zilch.

I like the idea that was expressed earlier where this kid should quit school for a semester or two and focus on reducing his debt. Otherwise, his future life (marriage and kids) will be extremely difficult.
