Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can setup your PayPal account so that it has the ability to deposit money right into your bank account, right? With online banking all the rage nowadays, can you not just transfer the money from your paypal account every week keeping a minimum in there for incidental costs? That way, you can keep your money in your own bank account. I don't know much about PayPal, but wouldn't that be a viable option instead of keeping say... 600,000 pounds in PayPal?

They can still get the money back from your bank account.

What does the size of the ISP have to do with it? The Constitution in this case is irrelevant. The Constitution is a list of limits on government, not ISPs. If you dont like their contract, use a different ISP. That said, I would like to know who gets to determine what is, or is not, "hate" speech. The whole concept of hate speech and hate crimes is bullshit IMO.

We bought an 07 Altima hybrid with 35k miles. All I know is, I get nearly 40mpg, and it has a full warranty to 100k. Our old Nissan SUV got about 16mpg. So my fuel bill is cheaper, and my payment is about $60/mo cheaper. Right now, for my family, that is what counts. I didnt get the car to make a statement or help humanity. I couldnt give a shit what anyone thinks. I got it because it helps my bills.

So they are calling it "global warming" again? I was just getting used to them changing from "global warming" to "climate change." Because the masses were not buying it. And man made? Its ego, plain and simple. The elites of this planet cannot contemplate being out of control. Or heaven forbid the masses being out of their control. And the rules and regulations from "controlling climate change" will keep the little people in line.

It was the way they taught with them, the way they used them in class. Different teachers too. They required different units over the years. And each model had various features the others didnt. Certain models they wouldnt allow on tests, so you had to have the one that teacher was using. I cant stand the damn things myself. I prefer my Hewlett-Packard RPN calculators.

I understand the "creative class" needs their validation because they cannot cope with the real world. But graffiti is vandalism. Deal with it. What if one of them takes a shit on your porch and calls it "art?"
