But does one sided morality work?

You asked about the morality of walking away when the borrower still has the ability to pay.

A company or organization cannot act morally or immorally? I strongly disagree. *NM*

No, it cannot. However the individuals making the decisions for the company can. *NM*

Because it's their moral obligation. Morality is not a trade, you act morally because it is right

That's the only kind of morality there is! What the hell is wrong with you?

A contract isn't a promise; it's a legal agreement. *NM*

Which is why contracts have to be pages and pages long and combed over by bloodsucking lawyers.

Let's assume we're talking about a marriage where no such oath was taken... *NM*

It's not immoral to break the marriage contract.

That must be why they have you sign something called an agreementory note *NM*

I don't think it's immoral at all. The contract usually specifies penalties for breach.

I think it's morally wrong to walk away from credit card debt. *NM*
13/10/2010 09:43:11 PM

I agree, what do you think is different?
13/10/2010 09:59:36 PM

The difference is that the bank owns the house. Whereas when I buy stuff, it's mine. *NM*
