		<description>Exactly... I mean doctors with coat hangers, are simply filling a niche market.  If you can get a legal and proper procedure elsewhere you should.  Or hey can't afford that rolex,  just buy a knock-off in Times Square.  

Now if you want to get biblical - ANY INTEREST even 0.001% is usury according to scripture, which you can only do to Canada, and the like.  Not to your own countrymen (although that term had a different connotation back then)  

It's sick legalized loan sharking - period.  Obviously there are people who agree with me, who have no skill with logic.  But obviously, the author of this piece AND the author he is debunking are not aware of the difference between correlation and causation, and their respective places in statistics.

The original figures weren't very relevant, and your "debunking" them just as much so.

And yes I'm biased, no bones about it.  Its criminal, it's exploitive.  You realize how much like pimps you sound when you make the argument, people wouldn't use our service if it weren't good.</description>

		<description>This article pretty much covers every accusation of the PDL Industry.  If you don't push back on these negative stereotypes, people begin to accept them as truth.

Payday loans are just like anything else, if used incorrectly, they're bad.  If we get rid of everything people abuse, then there would be nothing left.  

People need to realize that payday lenders are just filling a demand.  If there wasn't money to be made, they would not be opening up.  Just like anything in life, if you can get a better rate somewhere else, you should do it.</description>
