Also, I'd rather take a loan out and pay the interest then run the possibility of having any purchases I make tracked.

and its because of this kind of X-Files shite that i'm outta this thread

fucking hilarious

if i buy a new stereo with my credit card then they can track me all they fucking want.... 3 men in MI5 are sitting in London Headquarters going "he's bought a new stereo!!! he's bought a Sony!! oh call Q, codename "bought stuff" and raise the security warning to Orange... this is bad "

i couldnt give a fucking toss if Woolworths know what i buy.. just as i dont give a fuck about borrowing any book from a library.. they can track me all they want..

oh and of course Cavan would be worse than Scotland at penny-pinching... world famous are us at being misers.. but universally famous is Cavan

*cue 98% of everyone on here looking at each other going "where the fuck is Cavan?"*

Oh dunk, ya just know it all don't ya? :rolleyes: Two of the biggest stereotypes in Ireland are stupid Kerry people and mean Cavan people. It was even mentioned in the butcher boy... but hey, you know best and I'm sorry if I offended you by suggesting we're meaner than you

X-Files shit? If I buy a stereo, it's not that I don't want anyone knowing... but what the fuck business is it of theirs. I'm not saying the stuff I believe actually happens, but the fact that it's POSSIBLE is enough for me... because I can just imagine how bad things will be down the line when they suggest that instead of all your credit and store cards and having to carry them all around... why not just get microchipped?

You can laugh now... but that's the future!

I have a credit card, I've only used it a couple of times. I used it when I was in the US and Canada and I used it to order some things. That's it.

so last night my friend says she paid off her CC debt. awesome. so we start talking about it and my other friend goes "I'm so against credit card debt." In this way that was like, she's better than people who have it (plus who is "for" credit card debt???) And it PISSED me OFF because life throws stuff at you and things change and even if you don't WANT a credit card balance, sometimes you get one! It just really ticked me off because her parents not only paid for grad school but all her other expenses while she was there...grad school (and the moving involved with it) is the reason I have so much CC debt. sure, it's easy not to have credit card debt if you have no expenses while you're in school! Anyway I just cut her off and listed my $20k pay cut in 2004 (with 3 months unemployed before that), my 800-mile move in the midst of unemployment while going into grad school, the move back again, unemployed, having to put all my deposits on apartments, while unemployed, etc.


Sorry it just really made me mad and I had to vent.
