    Of course, moderated into oblivion by deniers. No surprise there. Do you guys really fail to understand the cherry-picking of the data point 15-17 years ago and the false "trend" from that point?

    I was not making a stupid point, and your failure to understand the point, does not make the point stupid. Anything can be considered "the price" of a transaction. The fact is that if all (or even most) employers use these tactics, the signing is under duress. You must work to eat. I assure you that "under duress" would not be considered stupid in court under these circumstances. I suppose you don't mind working for company scrip which can only be spent at the company store - the price of transaction.

    It's not stupid. It is under duress if all employers have that kind of clause. Yes, you must be employed to eat. And calling someone stupid because you disagree is in itself stupid.

    A contract does not require a signature, it requires a meeting of minds. A signature is one way of demonstrating this. Accepting the pay cheque and showing up for work is another.

    And signing under duress (no job unless you sign) is one way of demonstrating there is no enforceable contract.

    Yeah because being an immature dick and trying to cause an accident at a light in response to someone else being an immature dick makes the world such a better place. Good work. But you're still an immature dick.

    And calling names shows that you're an immature dick. I'm not trying to cause an accident and never have.

    I've nearly run into the back of someone at a stop light when they started rolling forward and then suddenly slammed on the brakes because they didn't see a car coming into the intersection. I was glancing around checking for traffic I might have been concerned with and nearly ran into the back of him because I just assumed he was going to continue rolling forward like the hundreds of others before him I had been behind at other intersections.

    Reminds me of a game I like to play. Whenever I'm at a red light and the driver in the next lane is playing with his phone, I like to do a false start lurch to make him think the light has changed. Sometimes I can get in three false starts during one red light. Funny as hell.

    Or to give you a car analogy, just because internal combustion engines are used to drive cars does not mean that you can run a 4 litre V8 engine at full power and get 100 miles to the gallon.

    Well, then, when you try doing those things you'll understand why my comment is true.

    Well, I won't. I have five games in the App Store and I have always used the simulator for development. It works very well. For me, it is VERY rare that something works on one while not working on the other.

    I constantly get statements from ATT saying "we have deducted this money from your bank account" I have been getting them for two years, at least.

    ATT tells me it is a glitch in their system, and not to worry about it.

    So far, no money has been wrong deducted, that I am aware of.

    However, I do not consider this to be confidence inspiring.
