Don't you just hate that!

I started to write this article, almost automatically, in politically correct style. I then realized that was exactly my complaint., people, in general, have become full of shit! They don't know right from wrong and honest from not.
Stealing, or attempting it, are common. Lying is alright. Maybe dating has taken over the entire institution of life. "I'm only going to put the head in is a way of life. I promise that I just want a peak in your panties".
Specifically, we make laws to "protect people"; and of course, ass holes "use" them to their advantage. The problem, most generally is that we have Lawyers writing the laws, but that is another diatribe, they make them as complex and ambiguous as they can, so they have work. The second part of this is that people are generally lazy and greedy, hence the income from lotteries, again another story. They are also sheep, who follow, rather than think and act independently.
Consumer laws, specifically credit card rules, are in theory, to protect a little old lady from being screwed by some unscrupulous vendor. In reality, consumers have learned to manipulate those laws and steal from vendors. A merchant has very little rights; and the crud of life, more than 50%, see an easy prey.
I am not going to journal of ways to use those laws, just believe me when I say that I'm not sure that I have seen them all yet, and have logged 16 ways. The point here is that we need to make rule clear, short and concise. You will do this or that, not have 100 loop holes to a rule, no exceptions. I am not much of a lover of rules, but I do follow them.
The other part of this is the old childhood issue of "well they are all doing it". Have some balls. Tell the ass hole that they are WRONG! Stand up and be a human being, rather than a sheep. The issue is that you will be ostracized, so the fuck what
