I guess pre-paid cards, Pre-paid American Express, Visa, Master Card, and Secured credit cards are a bad thing why?
There is never an excuse for being unable to access online resources.
I think you'd be taken more serious if you didn't exaggerate so much. Movies don't cost $20.. They're usually about $7 to $9 and then there are the matinee prices.
Also, *I* personally can't stand behind anyone that votes by stealing. If the movie is "crap".. then don't go.. getting it for free=yes is .. I'll spare myself another moderation warning.
But, to summarize this... your smokes, which kill you and cost the rest of us a butt load of money so you can smoke, is the way to spend your money.. meanwhile, you'll simply TAKE what you want because, without even seeing it, that crap movie is ok to just "take"... and again, so you can smoke.
No wonder why your credit is crap.. you make some pretty questionable decisions.
In the end, you truly are ... troubled. I'll leave it there.
At LEAST try to argue like everyone else.. at LEAST come out and say that the laws are abused and you really do have the right to share like the others do. Don't come right out and say you're ok with stealing. |

The amusing/ironic/counterintuitive thing is that actually smokers cost our country less because they die quicker and don't draw their social security, and don't have such long drawn-out hospital costs before death (lung cancer/heart disease/emphysema kills you pretty quick, and once you're declared terminal, you just go to the hospice or home to die, not really that expensive compared to everything else). |

| reply to MyDogHsFleas You're kidding, right? 
Cute, however.
I'd have to disagree with you. There are many smokers that are uninsured for various reasons. Uninsured people are usually not seen for their health problems until they reach a stage III or IV. Those people are often only getting treatment in emergency rooms (which is where the "no one is to be turned away" comes to play) where it costs at least 10 times more to treat them than it would if they were to 1) simply stop 2) get early treatments which cost pennies on the dollar compared to the ER treatment.
But, your take on the path to death of these smokers isn't really accurate. The numbers on how much it cost to treat a smoker is out there, and too, disagrees with you. |

| reply to fiberguy I have to agree with ya Fiber, on everything except the "at least try to argue like everyone else" comment. I actually commend the guy...as twisted as the rest of his thought process may be....for his honesty. Kind of refreshing to see someone speak bluntly and not try to cover up their stealing with a thinly veiled "I loooove my legal linux distros and thats all I use bit torrent for" shenanigans. |
