Disturbing.
A person in danger of losing their job due to slave labor environment may ask hospital ER staff to put him/her to sleep. Person disturbed by employers doing credit checks as a prerequisite of employment, loss of home, and security, if any was really in place in the first instance, may camp at the hospital in a plea to be put to sleep due to where pugs have put the economy and where the economy has put him/her. May just have been moments of dark thoughts and hopefully sanity will prevail and desperation will not rule the day. Waiting and watching carefully.

1. The 'credit raiting' of most groups that are requiering those things is abysmal.
By most calculations their consumption to what they have given back to society is so far out of balance, it is hard to even find a repayment schedule they can fit into.

Although I try not to give up on them. One of the reason I don't think in terms of money systems, I would not like to have to think some people as accountable as they are for many of their choices.

2. You have a spelling dilemma this a.m.? Or are you trying to talk down to me?

3. Just an observation on the comment.

They calculate worth of people by economic systems.

If you were to apply those rules back to them, then their worth in other systems would be pretty bad. Hence why I think not thinking in terms of money system is best, and why it is discussed in some places.

I think it is observational, not judgmental, and does not include a self examination in the comment, since I do not think in terms of assigning such values. So it could be either talking down or talking up, since I don't put myself on that scale in anyway by such actions.

Where is the spelling error, I did not see any in spell check? Or are you speaking in code, if you are, just say what you mean plainly.

5. ah, no spell check in the title.
Personally I don't worry about correct spelling, I always figured that word might be spelt, re choir.

:shrug: could just be me though.

6. Personally, I felt it most alarming that the person wanted to be put to sleep.
