  Usury is not in itself parasitic. You get what you by adiplomat2009-08-24 13:57:04
    Usury is not mere debt by esbita2009-08-24 14:30:57
      Usury is simply the lending of money at interest. by adiplomat2009-08-24 14:45:11
        That was unclear. "All lending was usurious" by adiplomat2009-08-24 14:59:35

NOT very qualified. And "victims"??? People who of their own choice, no force implied or express, who do a thing are VICTIMS? BTW, I apply such to me as well as everyone else. Until about 4 years ago, I was utterly unable to get credit, so I lived within my means in a very absolute fashion. My last unemployment period was ugly because of that.

This time, it's still bad, but made a bit worse because I have a car on credit, a computer, and a medical account. About $270 a month (close to 16% of my income from unemployment) is servicing debt. Bad. I will make every effort possible to avoid doing that ever again.

Point is, though, I am not a victim. I did it to myself. No one made me buy that car, no one made me buy this PC. Bias from the author, pure and simple.
