If you needed cash fast what would you do? Would you go so far as rob a banK? Borrow it from loan sharks? Go ask friends? Ask your family for it? Gosh I heard a story where a man went to rob a grocery stores and also one where he went to rob a bank and they said it was because his kids needed the money for food or that they needed the money for their childs surgery....How far would you go?

If I desperately needed money I would ask my family first. I'm sure if they had the money and there was an important reason I needed it, then they would loan it to me.
I would never ask a loan shark or go to the loan pay day places. If I were ever in the situation, then I would have to really look at my life and figure out how it got to that point.

There is a lot of people in this world especially in America who live in a life of debt and it can be helped after a certain point in their life...it seems as though society has enable people to get in debt because it's easier such as credit cards and so on...

You are very right!! The banks and lending groups do not loan out money ethically. If they truly wanted to help people, they would really assess what the money is for before they gave people the option of borrowing it.
I think the US mortgage economy is a wonderful demonstration of how ethical lending could have solved a lot of people's financial situations.

Yeah and the most greedy of the group...they wouldn't want to cut their loses and say hmm let's make it a win win instead of forcing them out of house and home and dragging them down the tube...let's make a plan that works both for homeowners and us as a mortgage bank but rather then say go down the tube I don't mind taking back the home and have it sit empty and torn with and we don't get a cent every month...Sometimes I think they don't really have much business sense not just not having any morals or Sympathy or empathy....

Yeah but sometimes they have no other means...meaning no friends no more family to help them out and they seriously need the money for their kids...I don't really look badly at what they do but I wish there were other means for them rather than steal...but sometimes there is no other means for them I guess....

hahaha...girl I would do that too rather than rob (I know ..hehe don't need to ask), but it is not that I don't want to rob for my kids it is just not possible...I be tackle down even before I can get out of the bank or that I won't be able to control myself from shaking...

Well, I think it depends on how much money is needed...if the amount is small enough to borrow from friends and family...sure...
If its larger, I might rob a bank, but I will let people know that I'm doing it for other reasons like kids need food or childs surgery...

Yeah it's sad but I do feel sorry for the guy who did these crimes but I don't have anything against him because he did it for his family out of necessity not out of wanting something for self indulgence...
