Opinion, Rather Than Fact.
Everybody at one time or the other uses opinion rather than fact to make their point.
Here's how even the FoolProof team uses their opinion to try to convince you:
- We quote a lot of consumer groups in FoolProof. Consumer groups generally give opinions that can be tough on some businesses. Consumer groups think lots of businesses take advantage of consumers.
- Take the issue of payday lending. Virtually all consumer groups—and the FoolProof team—think the average payday lender is a slime ball. Some of these lenders charge 400% interest to the poorest consumers.
- Here's the Center for Responsible Lending site on the horrors of payday lending (Watch the CBS news video on this site, also).
- Payday lenders, on the other hand, think they are lovely people. Check out their site: The Community Financial Services Association
So whom do you believe? Hey, that's the point! Think rather than accepting anyone's opinion.
Which brings us back to the snail who never forgets...
