Re: Why is the anti-credit card argument so binary?
I know that last part is commonly stated, but its not true. If every platform announced an immediate 20% increase in the rate they charge vendors, wouldn't you expect a lot of businesses to increase prices to cover that rate increase? Yes, right? Well if that's the case, doesn't that mean those bus...

Re: 2016 Presidential Race
I find it very hard to believe Cruz's campaign manager was not unaware of the softcore porn actress' history before this ad was aired Man, is everything a scandal these days? An actress with one line a short commercial previously took her clothes off in other movies, and that's a big deal? I hate t...

Re: Why is the anti-credit card argument so binary?
I don't get the idea that somehow credit cards are inherently evil or even just bad. That's crazy. Credit cards are a HUGE boon to easy commerce. Yes, that ease gets a lot of people in trouble, but at the same times, CCs help a lot of other people. And they sure as hell make my day-to-day life a lot...

Dammit, De Gea! A couple of fantastic saves kept Chelsea from knocking off ManU today.
Chelsea has been so much better lately after they sub Hazard in. I wish they would start him instead of the completely useless Mikel. With Hazard, they are so much more aggressive and dangerous.
