I specifically said I was just going to use a couple of examples rather than go through the whole thing and pick it apart because I didn't want to waste my time. Go back and read my post. I said so explicitly. And now here I am wasting my time.

Of course his show uses arguments in the strongest way possible to show how debt buyers are scum. And if he presents 10 reasons, and 1 or 2 miss the mark, who cares?

This wasn't the case, but even if it was, the ends don't justify the means. You don't get to mislead your audience and say "who cares, I had other good reasons for presenting this case!"

Your counter arguments themselves are even weak. Honestly your only answer to that entire segment about the court judgements and garnishing of wages and thousands of cases reviewed in seconds is "well the system is flawed but go along with it?"

The system is
not flawed, even in this case! It worked, but a bunch of morons
ignore lawsuits. Any regular Joe should, one would expect, understand that if you're being sued for something, the person suing you has to prove their case. That doesn't take a law degree. They have to prove you owe them what they say you owe them. If you show up to court and the other side reviewed your case for four seconds, and has no proof besides an excel spreadsheet with your name on it, they're not going to be able to prove anything.
Basically the complaint there is "this company relied on the fact that I'm a moron! Please change the system to allow me to be stupid!" No. You've been sued. Go to ####ing court. If you and people like you weren't idiots, this would not be a viable strategy.
I'm done wasting my time on this, as I initially said I wouldn't. If you want to continue to just take the nonsense in that segment at face value, please feel free... but it's not worth that.
