I guess you should tell the godd**mn DoD and the Attorneys General in Washington, California etc that their concerns for predatory and deceptive businesses is all stupid, and those are just good red blooded Americans and f***ing young and inexperienced service men--like the guy I just talked to in the waiting room at the doctor's just yesterday evening who "leased" a bunk bed when he had a second kid that after the interest rates on the loan jumped to loan shark levels he ended up paying nearly 1800 bucks on a 250 dollar bunk bed---that's just Good Ol' American Capitalism.

And I guess since you got one check cashing place that negates all what we've seen from the DoD on this subject....
Don't blame the dope who signs up to be fleeced Jan. If the average American serviceman is dumb enough to sign those loans or does business with these people, whose fault really is it?

I will tell you again Jan, you want to blame society for all the ills that most intelligent people are able to avoid. You cant protect people from their own greed, stupidity or avarice. At some point, they are responsible. You telling me the US military are all mind numbed robots?

You blame these businesses for a lot. I just told you in my town they are doing a roaring business and we don't have a military. You get so touchy Jan....All I am pointing out is blaming them for the rot of the society in that area, or the fact they exist having anything to do with 4 cops drinking coffee getting shot in the head is just silly. Then again, you think it is all the loan shark's fault people are dumb enough to take LEGAL loans from them. Got a news flash for you. The right of individuals includes the right to do dumb things. You would take all those rights away of course, because you know better.

As for me lecturing you on what you think is unique to military towns in the US, I will merely point out you thought I was full of crap pointing out holes in the Canadian Healthcare system once, a system you don't pay taxes to or USE so spare me the righteous indingnation.
