first off, you KNOW what I meant when I said "million dollar loan." Second, the government might care because debt hurts the economy. Maybe it sounds like a bad idea, but that's probably because you see it as too radical. It just might work, even though it will be interfering with the bank's right to business, it might work. After all, if the shoe fits, wear it.Kandahar said:Not a good idea. Banks are in business to loan out money, and they know the risks when they do so. Why should the government care if the bank is willing to take the risk with an individual investor? The bank (or other lender) feels that the debtor is a good investment. If you don't have good credit, you aren't going to get a million dollar loan for any amount of interest anyway.
Did you ever think about why the Senate was created the way it was, with six-year terms and originally chosen by the state legislatures? People are stupid. They don't know what's best for them. That's why the Founding Fathers put the Senate in the Constitution, so the people couldn't force the passage of anarchy through the government.Simon W.

I've heard the phrase "Violence isn't the answer," before, and I personally find that to be BS. Back in my childhood, in a time when there were child abuse laws, but they were very difficult to enforce because children could not report anything to the law, I was abused by my father. Shortly into my life, I realized "Hey, if I don't obey Daddy, he'll beat me until I'm bloody." and I obeyed him. I never rebelled against my parents in my teenage years like most teens do, because I was afraid of getting whacked over the head with a welding rod. Violence works. When you say violence isn't the answer, that's a bald-faced lie.

That's what they all say. I'm not saying that the violence itself was good. I'm saying that the respect he got out of the intimidation was good.violence wouldn't do anything in my childhood-no matter how it was.
yeah. Pretty much.what you are basically purposing is that dictatorship is good because people are dumb, and I would agree if history did.

And the government's composed of what - extraterrestrials?dstebbins said:People are stupid. They don't know what's best for them.
Well, you have my pity. Let's stick to the debate and save the personal anecdotes for some other thread.dstebbins said:I've heard the ... bald-faced lie.
