1 | A SIN TO FILE BANKRUPTCY | 1 Pet 4:10 | Emmaus | 130083 | ||
EdB, I am amazed that througout this whole discussion no one has mention the modern practice of usury and the fact that banks and retailers practically forced credit cards on people without worrying whether or not they are credit worth. During the pre-Christmas shopping period I am practically tackled at the entrances of department stores by people wanting to gicve me credit cards. And at the Colleges and Univertsities the students are bombarded in person and by mail with cedits cards and offers of credit cards.How does this happen when most of them have little or negligable income to pay back any credit card debt? The banks and credit card companies, Enron like, count the amount of their tuition as income! No, I am not joking! They really do that. Ah the wonders of creative American business accounting practices. My daighter calls my description of credicard debt as indentured servitude, "Lecture 44." She was advised that if she accepted a single credit card while in college, that I would cease all financial support. Emmaus |

Emmaus I agree nothing appears to be sacred to the Credit card companies as they try any and all means to get you to take one of their cards. However being a "gun never killed anyone" type of guy. I don't think the problem is credit cards but rather problem is with the person using them. EdB |

EdB, On the other hand we do not hand out guns indiscriminately to the youg and inaexperienced and untrained, except in criminal enterprises. And to do so is also civily negligent and actionable. The fact that Colleges and universities are often in collusion with the credit card companies, in exchange for a fee, in allowing them access to the campuses is also dispicable. They thus facititate financial promiscuity in the same way they facilitate sexual promiscuity with open co-ed dormitories. The college culture of death, debt and depravity. Deliver us from evil Oh Lord! Emmaus |

Emmaus Good point!!!! Also I get credit card offers for cards from my old colleges. I won't name names but these are Bible Colleges sending out credit card offers or at least making their Alumni list available to the card company. EdB |
