I wonder if you mean a "charge off" rather than discharge? If you pay a debt off, you send them enough money to cover the cost of the purchase plus any interest charges, and they send you a statement with a zero balance. If you have a debt charged off, that means the load company has given up hope of ever getting the money out of you, they zero out the balance on their computers, and notify the credit bureaus that you are a deadbeat.
Consumer debt is governed by the FDCPA....commercial debt is not.

False, equity has its advantages as well (like paying dividends are not required, but paying interest on debt is), so the debt level can vary widely between industries and even between companies in the same industry.

The difference between an unliquidated debt and a liquidated debt is this: Liquidated Debt: A debt that has an exact monetary value. Unliquidated Debt: A debt that is undisputed as to its amount, but still under the liability of the debtor. Each one of these debts has a statute of limitations to it. I believe they stand at 3 years for liquidated debt, and 6 years for unliquidated debt. These numbers are for Colorado and can change from state to state based on their rulings.
The world gets out of debt by paying their debts
Debt retirement refers to the paying off of a debt in order to avoid future interest payments, this can only be done if the current funds available are able to clear the outstanding balance of the debt. Debt forgiveness on the other hand can be considered to be an amnesty by lending institution for countries who are heavily indebted, this is usually done to help alleviate the debt burden faced by such countries. Therefore the difference between debt retirement and debt forgiveness is that one is paid off by the country who is able to pay off the debt and the other is an amnesty given to remove the debt for countries who cannot afford to pay it off.
