Well, putting profit above everything else is something I will never understand - e.g. I value my life, the lifes of my nearest and dearest, etc MUCH higher then profit. Then there are some things like ethics and moral...
Regarding DixieGals post: Well, that is one reason why I never understood the sense in credit cards. This is not meant to be judging - I simply dont understand the reasoning behind a credit based system. (Credits are fine - you sometimes simply need them (e.g. buying a house, but surely not for buying a car). But surely not to pay the monthly living?) The European system differs greatly - you have a bank deposit (where you deposit your money and get a (small) revenue for it). With your bankcard (EC-Card, Mastercard, DirectDebit Card, whatever) you can withdraw money from this deposit - but normally no more (not much more) then you have deposited. So you can only spend what you have, not take a loan for your normal living ... (in fact I do have a VISA card - which directly debits my bank deposit, I dont have (nor need) any credit ...)
