    In life, we encounter many things that seem unfair. Some things may be major, and some things are minor.

    What are some of the things you encounter in life that you feel is unfair?

    My daughter has a small savings account. Now, this money is not a lot of money, but enough to keep in the bank. Well, the other day, she gets her statement in the mail, the bank has begun charging her a $10 per month service fee. For what? She is not withdrawing money from the account. The money is just sitting there. But the bank feels they have to charge $10 bucks for the privilege of holding onto her money? Well, we went down there and I gave the a piece of my mind (and belive me, I don't have much left) and closed the account. They said it was part of their new terms and conditions since they merged with another bank. I told them that is totally unfair.

    Anybody have any experiences you feel is unfair?

    Now that was a low blow and you did good to give them a piece of your mind, especially closing the account. assholes!

    Saving money has nothing to do with banks. Buy her a small safe and tell her to put her savings in it, away from the hands of greedy capitalists such as bankers. That way she'll always have access to her money, otherwise she might wake up someday with the bankers claiming her money for themselves. Besides, the interest they pay is not even worth the effort of dealing with them.

    I had an account with the credit union with the company I retired from and had only $5 left in there. I got a notice that the state was going to take it since I hadn't had any activity in a certain length of time(forgot how long). I withdrew the $5 and closed the account.

    Life is unfair -- it has never been otherwise -- it is unfair women are treated so badly in general in the world and yet they make up over 50% of the worlds population -- it is unfair that 12 powermad freaks in Bethel Brooklyn control the lives of 6 million plus people - it is unfair if you are born in an african country rather than the US/Canada/Europe/Australia/New Zealand etc. It is just the way it is

    Thanks for your comments!!

    it is unfair if you are born in an african country rather than the US/Europe/Australi etc. (and Canada)

    It's also unfair how those who were born into homes of modest means have to struggle for everything they have, while those who are born into more privileged families get everything handed to them on a silver platter. And...not appreciating what they have.

    You wanna hear about a real "sucker punch"?

    Read my postings in this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/15/58646/1.ashx

    Read that Jim. Yeah that sucks, and fits the thread. Hope you can at least sell it. There are stupid little wars going on between both countries, all the result of trading (ex: beef, softwood, ect). Why there's even a border is beyond me. We are the same people.
