  • Well terrorists do what they do usually due to a belief. Bill collectors do what they do because you didn't pay your bills, ie a legitimate reason.

    • Bill collectors are scum bags. They try to manipulate single mothers to give them the money that should have gone to buying food for their kids.

      I know of a single mom who had their toddler son answer the phone and it was a Bill collector. They told him to tell mommy when she gets out of the shower that they are going to come take away all your son's toys because you didn't pay your credit card bill.

      I know of another guy who they told his wife why are you staying married to this man who doesn't pay his bills.

      They are more dishonest than drug dealers.

      • I had one call me and she was obviously eating while on the phone with me for one thing, and I told her I didn't have the cash and she made some snarly remark like "oh well that's why they made your credit limit so low then I guess because you're a broke fool". I said, who's the fool now bitch? I'm not paying you SHIT.

        They ARE scum and they will lie and do all kinds of dirty things so I do it back to them even worse. They're the ones who want something from me so I'll be damned if they're going to treat me like an asshole.

    • Bill collectors do what they do due to a belief, too. The belief that you didn't pay your bills :P

    • I agree. If you made the debt you have to pay it. "money could be spent to buy food for kids" is just an appeal to emotion.

    • Terrorists are people who demand things from you "or else".

    • We actually had a guy at work arrested for "threats of terrorism." Apparently terrorism is just threatening someone, making them feel they are in physical danger.

      Interesting side note :-)

      BTW there are legal investigations going on because, while people do owe money, the collectors can't legally threaten people.

      • There's no clear, concise definition of terrorism, but it can definitely come in many forms. Violence isn't required. It's generally summed up as making any kind of threat. The threat can be empty. It can be purely psychological. It can be violent too.

        Most people think terrorism means violent extremists killing people and that's not the case in MOST terrorism that's done. Parents use terrorism on their children! "Behave or Santa won't come", for instance.

        • If they r bothering u, keep a log book by the phone and log each time they called what they said and talk to a lawyer who does civil litigation. In many cases u can sue them! Most countries have laws banning them from doing a lot of things; usually they violate them!
