Have Gamblers Caused the Economic Crisis?

As we all know we are in the midst of a huge credit crisis and the main reason this has been caused is because of the banks. Over the last few years, banks have been throwing away their money by giving it to people that cannot afford to pay it back. This has all led to the banks crashing and businesses that relied on them failing as well.

I have always said that if you have not got the money to buy something, them simply do not buy it ans wait until you are in a better position? I mean borrowing over 100k is a huge amount of money. So this is why banks need to get their act together and carefully consider who they give their money too.

I have listed down a few situations where the banks definitely should not be lending out.
1) People that are on low income, what the banks are forgetting, is that people do not just have their mortgage to pay. They have the huge daily living costs to consider. So even a person that is earning around 25k, should not be borrowing huge amounts of money.
2) How long have they been in their jobs? There are a huge amount of people in the world that just hate working and end up getting sacked from every job they get. These people then find a job after a year or so of being unemployed and think that it is ok to go and get a car on finance, get a mortgage and sign up to things such as mobile contract. And to be honest noone really tells them any different, the banks seem to agree with them by handing over money.
3) One of the more imprtant aspects that the bank should look at is the obsessive habits people have. How many times have gambling addicts got given a mortgage and car and then blow there monthly repayments on playing online poker or roulette. Addicts can not control themselves, so lending them money is a very bad idea.
