Why I Defaulted on My Student Loans

Unscrupulous Dick would be a great band name.

 

Except for spite.

You can't return a suit out of spite.

 

What, you think this wasn't going to be q-functioned?

 

If it's fraud, why isn't he being prosecuted? Fraud is a crime.

 

He promised!

 

I promised my high school girlfriend we'd be together forever and ever.

 

So why isn't he being sued for fraud then? It should be a pretty easy case.

 

I'm still not sure where you are getting that he took the money under false pretenses. He chose to renege on the deal. I totally agree with that. But reneging on the deal does not mean it was not entered into under false pretenses. I'm don't really get where you are coming from with this idea that the guy's actions today are an indicator of his intent in the past.

Default isn't fraud no matter how much you say it is.

 

Oh Jesus. I used the Macy's story as a real-life example of taking an action that was morally and ethically wrong while fitting into the construct of our discussion. It's not a "hang-up" and nor do I feel compelled to send Macy's an anonymous check or perform any other form of penance. What I did, however, was wrong and I recognize that. The clown who chose to default on his college tuition loan rationalizes his immoral action after the fact by alleging "the social arrangement" is immoral, so he was justified.

 

Interesting.

You *knew* you were going to get one free use of the suit, and did.

He took out a student loan intending to honor the contract, then decided not to.
