    That is not correct. If I pay $100 for a $100 item, they *cannot* say I didn't pay. The "rule" is that they don't have to provide change.

    Because I'm not an idiot, I know that if someone says I owe them $1000 dollars and I offer to pay them $1000 dollars, they cannot refuse my payment and say they want payment in cashcows, and will refuse to accept my *legal tender* dollars. They can refuse to provide change if the bill is $999 and I give them a $1000 bill, but they cannot say I didn't offer to pay.

    They can say exact amount only. It is about providing change. What they cannot say is "Even exact amount is unacceptable."

    You are preaching to idiots. There is no question that a bill can be paid in cash. IF you try to pay a $1 bill with $1000 bill they can refuse to provide $999.00 change, but a $1000 bill is legal tender for a $1000 debt, and to refuse to accept said payment is to forgive the debt. Period.

    Bravo. You still think it's possible, but not highly so. That is the rational conclusion.

    Nobody has contradicted it. Someone posted a link to a webpage that talks about a *rule*, as the treasury cannot make laws. I assure you that if I receive a bill for $100.00 and I offer a $100.00 bill as payment, and the creditor goes to court and says I refused to pay because they wanted AmEx the Judge will inform them that I offered to pay and they refused payment.

    I am stating that refusing to do business with people who don't have credit cards is blatantly discriminatory, and it doesn't matter what the treasury says, because there are many, many other *laws* that matter more than the treasuries *rules*. This is a matter of law, not rules.

    You are, as always, a moron. Those are not cases of not accepting cash, they are cases of requiring the amount of cash tendered to approximate the amount of cash owed.

    You might not be aware, but the treasury isn't part of the judicial branch of the U.S. Government.

    That is not correct. Cash is legal tender in the US. Businesses do not have to accept it, but they have to consider the bill paid in full if they refuse it once offered, regardless of any signs they may post. Signs don't change the law, and refusal to accept cash is a clearly discriminatory practice.

    It is also illegal. The person offering the cash can tell them their options are to accept the cash or consider the bill paid in full without accepting the cash. It is illegal to insist on payment with a card of any sort.

    He didn't say the existence of aliens coming to Earth, he said Flying Objects we can't identify. They could be an animal species we have yet to discover. They could be advanced science from Dr. No. As long as they remain unidentified they don't prove anything. Super advanced tech also doesn't prove alien life. It could turn out to prove Batman exists.

    Wrong. The rational approach is to defer a decision until one actually has some evidence upon which to base a decision.

    The sad thing is I think you believe your own bullshit. Literally nothing you just claimed is true.

  19. It' not proof assuming such a link exists (which you did not provide) since it is a video. Show me the link to the source and the docs that let me reproduce it. Until then all we have is proof that you don't understand the scientific process.
