I despise them making money because we have to use their stuff. I hate that credit scores are lowered when you don't have debt. I pay my bills. The fact I don't take on debt more than I need to should be reflected in my score. But it's not. There's nothing voluntary about it. Make the banks rich or go without basics.

Voluntary....there is no system that can be seen as such.
Even under socialism & communism, one doesn't just get
whatever one wants. There's always an allocation process
with limits.
Why resent others making money? Should you be resented
for wanting a career playing poker...contributing arguably
nothing at all to society?
Wait til you're a landlord, managing hundreds of tenants.
The pattern emerges.

It would show me as a risk because I don't like taking on debt. I don't like more bills than I have to have. I don't like owing if I don't have to. But my score doesn't reflect this. I watched it take a huge dive because I don't use it. I'm not a risk, but this bs system says I am. It says I'm wreckless, because it doesn't reflect my responsibility of not needlessly going into debt and owing people money.

From the creditor's perspective, your not liking taking
on debt isn't practical to make into a metric. We measure
that which is significant & measurable. Your eschewing
using credit will make you less than a good risk, albeit
better than someone with a bad credit history.

You're a better? more adventurous? French? crazy? person than I am when it comes to cheese.

Better, matter of opinion but i would say so (in my opinion )

Adventurous, i have had my moments, I'll try anything edible at least once.

French, no English living in France, good fortune smiles on the brave

Crazy, pretty much.

What cheeses do you like?

You just haven't run across all the culinary horrors
from the rest of the world, eg, live monkey brains.
That must be the worst...beating out casu marzu,
Surstromming, chao dofu, balut, & mint haggis.

Hey come on, mint gives haggis a bit of flavour.

Ugh....mint is used by Satan's minions
to torture the worst of the wicked.

You've never had sweet mint sauce, I guess. Either that or you are not the true representative of food that you purport to be.

I admit to liking mint, fresh mixed with various salad greens. It goes well with lamb when chopped fine and preserved in vinegar and sugar.

So im wicked... next

Not had 1,2,3,9 and 10.

Mostly because they are very regional. Pinching regional specialities is a good way to start a war around these parts. Gizziers are common here, not my favourite food (im not keen on offal). As for tripe, my grandfather lived off it, it seems he enjoyed watching me shudder when he fed me some. I bet you never knew i was tortured as a baby??? Perhaps that is the reason i shudder now when i see it in the butcher's shop.

Its the idea they make money because we have to use their cards, that to get a place to live we have to routinely and regularly accumulate debt, which makes banks money.
And poker isn't something people have to do. Playing isn't something looked at or considered when we apply for an appartment or mortgage. And it shouldn't be. No one should have to play if they don't want.
But credit you have to have and use or your score goes down. That's bull****. That's a rigged system to systemically rake even more money to the banks.
And everything bad shows up. Even when you apply for an appartment. But not that much shows on it, and it doesn't stick around. Such as, you'd see I don't have **** for number of accounts and line of credit. You wouldn't see I've never missed a rent payment.
