Debit cards don't have the same protections that credit cards do if I'm not mistaken.

I wasn't referring to debit cards, but debt cards.  People call them credit cards, but only because they're brainwashed by the Banking-Industrial Complex.  Credit is the illusion, debt is the reality.

Trail cams are cool as shit.  A buddy of mine has trail cams on and around his property, lots of wooded acreage up by the Pennsylvania line.  The kind of guy that races home and goes bow hunting after work. 
Came in to work one day, shows the photo and time stamp of his trudging home at sunset on one trail, and another photo approximately 5 minutes later from the same camera with a gorgeous 8 point buck in the exact same spot on the trail.  Swear to God, it was actually LOLing at the camera.  :lol:
Trail Cams are awesome.
Reminds me of the Pacfic Norwest Ghost aka Blacktail Deer. The craftiest mother fucking deer spcies I've ever hunted. I have 6-8 that hang out every evening on my three acres. I declared my property a "No-Fire" zone. However they are eating my flowers :mad:. I'll have to arrange a sit down with their union rep.  :P

Maybe if you had to carry a balance.

Uh huh.  And why do I think it'll go down Hoffa style?  :P

I'm shocked  :P

I applied for an Amazon credit card, with the promise of a rebate on my next order.  Got the letter from JP Morgan chase saying I'm no approved.  Now, I just got an offer to raise my Master Card limit to 25 000$, but Amazon Visa is refusing me for a few thousand bucks... 

Sign of the times?  Banks do not give credit cards to anyone anymore? :)  Where will the world go if we can't have credit for 100 times our net worth??  :huh: :P

The problem's obvious--you're not an Amazon.  Wrong gender.

Not true, we haven't been giving you any credit for years.  :P

Hypocrisy, all of it.  Enjoy your debt cards, suckers.
your fear of credit is tragic :console:

Rough. They gave me my first credit card when I was unemployed.

Nah, of course that isn't on your wavelength, Captain Commodities.

It isn't on the wavelength of anyone who can understand 9th grade English.  Credit and debt are two sides of the same transaction.  The bank extends you credit, and you assume debt.
