True or Not ?

I cracked when I see that even now our banks are giving a legal license to the debt collection company to "kill" in their own way. We all know fairly well that we've always placed the cops in our country under the category of 'LEGAL' ABUSER or something like that. Now, even banks ?

I just read the papers online and yeah, I feel sorry for the woman who lost her husband who died from heart attack, thanks to the debt collection company sending him 120 SMSes in a day asking him to pay up RM7,000 due to a credit card debt. What fuckery is this ? I mean hey, sometimes people just need time to pay their debts, you know? If no rooms are allowed to talk things out before actions, all hell break loose right ? Some conversation comes into my mind when I read the news and it's something like this ...

Debt Collector : Pay up or I'll bombard you with 120 SMSes a day till you freak out or die !
Man : No wait, let me explain first !! Have mercy !!
Debt Collector : Mercy ?! Who gives a crap about it ! I want money !
Man : Let me expla....
Debt Collector : No ! Be prepared to be bombarded by our SMSes !!

(Man's phone start to ring like mad, making man panic and killed him in the end)

Wife : YOU KILLED MY HUSBAND !!
Debt Collector : I didn't know he is this weak. Anyway, PAY UP!
Bank : Yes, please pay up or we will sue you.
Wife : But, YOU JUST KILLED MY HUSBAND !! (wails)

Technically, that's what that has been going through my brain after I read it. But hey, we will never know for sure if it's entirely the banks fault or not in this part. I just can't help thinking this way, I mean like, thanks to one of my class in college and the lecturer being so enthusiast in questioning the media, she got me started thinking too. It's like, everyone wants money, right ? So the paper sells something that the public wants. So, just how much story in it that is true ? Not just the paper of course, I'm talking news about anything that you find everywhere, written by anyone. Ever thought of it ?
