You are simply not going to win this conversation.

71 yrs old, out in the world????? I am still living as I type. I still run a business as I type, I still know whats going on in this world, for as I type I am tuned into Free Republic, where all the news that is worth anything is here.

Most of my financial dealings are in mind of what the Bible teaches. You owe a man, pay him. JUST THAT SIMPLE.

If you don't you are nothing but a thief, never mind what someone offered that you just can resist, the fact that you took it makes you the bottom line irresponsible person.

Stop blaming everyone else. Profit is a good thing, people pay their bills, make payroll, etc from PROFIT. I certainly don't call profit GREED, that is just horrible. That profit in the past has just gone round and round to make a living for everyone.

Greed? Maybe those purchasers were just GREEDY to have the WANTS for something they just could not or ever afford. That is the basic GREED.

I don't say YOU as to mean you (driftdiver) personally, just to mean irresponsible people.

“You are simply not going to win this conversation. “

I’m not going to lose it either.

I still run a business as well. I’ve worked extensively with large banks and have seen their business practices from the inside. Unethical, immoral, and greed are certainly words that come to mind.

“Most of my financial dealings are in mind of what the Bible teaches. You owe a man, pay him. JUST THAT SIMPLE”

Its also biblical that if you loan money improperly or immorally that you are wrong. The banks have done that. Usury comes from the bible.

“If you don’t you are nothing but a thief”

Sorry, you are wrong. The thieves created this mess and forced us to pay for their greed.

Many of the large banks and credit card issues knew exactly what they were doing. In my mind its no different than what companies did to people in the 1800-1900s with the work camps. Get people into a perpetual debt cycle that they could never get out of.
