  5. Re:Why, oh why. on ACLU Sues DHS Over Unlawful Searches and Detention · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I hate these GD modders. At least mod me flamebait or something worth while and no -1 for "I disagree" isn't the same thing as troll.

    Why mod Troll?

    The parent made some good points and sparked a lovely amount of good comment.

    Sometimes I think modders have their heads way up their arses and can't see the trees for the forest. They did the same thing last night to someone who posted a decent post and generated 185 responses.

    Unless you have an account with a bank, they won't do it.

    the way the banks are, cash gets an IMMEDIATE credit to your account whereas a check, regardless of who issues it, means at least a ten day hold on the funds.

    A. Every grocery store in America issues money orders.
    B. Cashier's checks are typically deposited immediately. Typically Money Orders are deposited after they post.
    C. There are a number of banks that will give you a cashier's check even without a back account at that bank.
    D. With a business account, who cares if it takes ten days to clear, that's the cost of doing business.

    Perhaps I have this incorrectly and someone can fix it for me, but now that I've got my tin hat on, please answer this:

    IF the earth gets warmer, then that would create more water vapor - becoming clouds - and clouds prevent reflect IR (heat), thus cooling the earth back down?

    Maybe Gold foil hats would be better.

    It's all about the tax money, which ain't funny.

    I also agree that if the state allows a lottery - which is gambling - they why not make gambling sites add a penny tax for each dollar bet and submit to the state from which that person resides?
