15 years ago I had an argument with a physician and left telling him I wasn’t going to pay. His diagnosis was “I don’t know”. I said “I don’t pay for ‘I don’t know’” and I stormed out. It was something like a two-three hundred dollar bill. It was turned over to a collection agency.
Over the next 5 years, I paid that bill at least 3 times before I got fed up and started ignoring collection agencies. I swear half of them are flim-flam artists.
I’m not currently being harrassed for hundreds of thousands, or even tens of thousands or even thousands. They are currently harrassing me for less than 500 bucks. So I think it would be stupid to try declaring bankruptcy over that. But I still don’t want to pay these crooks because of my experience of paying bills over and over and still getting more and more collection agencies hounding me FOR THE SAME GODDAM BILL I ALREADY PAID TOO MANY GODDAM TIMES!
They seem to multiply like pornographic pop up windows on your PC. You don’t dare give them any money or word gets out and every one of them on the planet starts sending you invoices for something.
Okay.
I am not a U.S. Marine, either. May God help me.
I think that a Marine would not consult a scientist for a professional opinion and then refuse to pay that physician — even if the diagnosis was uncertain.
I think that a Marine would not fail to pay an honest debt.
I think that a Marine would not complain about his contractual obligation.
Thatt’s what I think about the U.S. Marines.
