That's always been a point of confusion to me when it comes to Fil-Ams (our FV Editor excepted). Or should i adopt the following rule of thumb: whenever you use 'our' followed by something negative, you're referring to your Filipino-side, while if you use 'our' followed by something positive, you're referring to your American side?

Balashubasism will get us nowhere in the current environment. It can be done, but given the character of our leaders and our people (undisciplined, fun loving) I doubt we would have the stomach for the consequences. I agree with bencard.

you don’t sell your soul to the devil and decide, on your own, not to pay back. unless you expect not to borrow ever again, you may try being a deadbeat and risk being ostracised, if not blown away to smithereens by an aggrieved creditor with bigger guns than yours.

it’s easy to say, i can’t afford to pay so i’ll pay when i can, if i can. the one who let you do that is the bigger fool.
