I will just add something final to this thread,
since many people now are just floating it wayyy off-topic and not actually focusing on the core aspects of it.
You take the act of taking out money on creditcards and then not paying any of it backand compare it to chasing after little kids shooting them with a lazer gun...
or any other wild scenarios you want, since that makes it look like its also some horrible crime.
But the fact is why the fuk do you guys care so much about personal views of morals n opinion.....,
when at the end of the day anyone else here who trades serious as their job does know that 'personal opinions' mean absolutely nothing in the real world,
'THE FACTS' are everything.
And the FACTS are that legally maxing out creditcards and never paying it back IS NOT a crime!!
(Yes fair enough it may be a 'nasty' thing to do, may not be what the pope or jesus would do, may not be what teachers will teach kids in nursery school)
But at the end of the day when you see loads of other people ding it and getting away with it then you happily do it too, since its not actually a crime.
People can give the example of killing someone to steal their money or wild examples like that saying that your still doing it for the money....,
but heres the big big difference that all those nitwit posters overlooked,
KILLING would be a crime, but MAXING OUT THEN NOT PAYING CCs is not a crime.
Ive said repeatedly and il say it again, i didnt set the laws ok.
I wasnt the 1 who choose what is legal and what is illegal and would end you up in prison.
Im simply a guy who had a look at the law book after it was written, saw what was illegal and what wasnt,
and so then made sure that i didnt do anything illegal in my daily dealings.
You can again talk about morals, but look at it this way.....
Stealing diamonds from a highstreet shop is illegal, so you dont do it.
But what if tomorrow the law changed and said that going diamond shops and taking diamonds without paying is not illegal anymore.
How many people out there in the wolrd would 'honestly' not ust go and take them wen they wanted them,
nd would instead work hard for ages, save up all their money instead of spending it on other stuff,
and then walk into the shop and queue up to pay for the diamonds, while other people just walked in and out stealing them.....
If maxing out CCs and then not paying them back was reclassified legally as being a crime that would actually have a penalty or prison,
then me and 96% of the population wouldnt do it....,
Just like we dont do other things that are 'illegal'.
But untill/unless it does become illegal then its fair game.
