Well, at least these folks have acknowledged their own role in the fiasco. The banks fucked up. It would be nice if the borrowers would acknowledge that they fucked up as well. But it looks like that ain’t gonna happen with most folks. Which is why folks like this will fail over and over again throughout their lives: they lack the introspection to acknowledge their own role in their failures and, thus, learn from them. I feel sorry for these folks. They’ve got a whole life of greater disappointments ahead of them, largely of their own making.[/quote]
davelj – I was unfortunately raised w/morals, so maybe that’s what’s really stopping me from doing it. But I still don’t see it as they are failing. They are, in fact, quite successful at working the system to their favor.
So I still feel like a chump for doing the right thing.
