So apparently I tried to buy an XBox last week in Pittsburgh

Believe it or not it is still against the law to kneecap someone because they owe you money - even if you really do owe them money. :o

You must be joking.

kneecap the prosecutor.

No shit.  He's obviously Canadian, since no Italian prosecutor would ever say such things.  :lol:

What do you expect, BB's self-righteousness to somehow dissipate?

Tell you what, I'll let you kneecap me any day.

I would have definitely noticed the difference, yes.  Plus I would have had to sign two different tabs, which also would have raised a flag with me ;)

When I called Jillian's, I kept asking for the manager to show me a copy of the $68 check with my signature on it, and he just played dumb & said they don't keep those.  Riiight.

Awesome.  Another trick you can do is that they actually don't keep credit card receipts... but you'd better believe the bank's got every one logged from their nightly drop.  You ask to contact their bank, and if they refuse, threaten a police report, and they'll get in a real giving mood, real fast.  There's always a cashier or someone that fudges things on card swipes, so nobody's going to want auditors going charge-by-charge in a criminal investigation.
Experience bij!

Cash? WTF

Actual, tactile and tangible legal tender for all debts public and private has not failed anyone for over 10,000 years. 
Conversely, the concept of imaginary currency is the principle reason our economies are as fucked up as they are.

And you're going to WTF me?

People have also loaned each other money for a long time.

Yeah, but when I loan it to you, I have the means to collect.  Namely by kneecapping you with a metal softball bat.
Don't have that ability with financial institutions and their amorphous, made-up invisi-money bullshit.

Funny, what you call debt collection I call extortion...

In his hypothetical he was only collecting money that I had borrowed but refused to pay back...not money that he decided was his. :P

Believe it or not it is still against the law to kneecap someone because they owe you money - even if you really do owe them money. :o

I prosecuted a guy for this in Whitehorse.  Beat a guy up because he owed him money (which he did), but was shocked when I upped the charge to extortion.   :cool:

Say, you didn't happen to do this while he was, I dunno, unrepresented by counsel, did you?
