I just spent half an hour trying to find a mob whoâll sell me a copy via Paypal and ship it outside the USâŚ
There is a whole rest of the world, America.
And dammit, why must I have a credit card? Get stuffed, Amazon.
Gosh in Soho, London has copies.
Is this the site I should be looking at? I canât find a section for buying stuff.
I occasionally see people expressing this sentiment. Out of morbid curiosity, why do you not want a credit card? Why would you consider Paypal a better alternative? Iâm not asking out of any sense of judgement, I just see this semi-regularly and canât fathom what the reason could be.
Fuck credit cards. They should be called debt cards.
Debt=slavery, particularly when the act of borrowing money is what creates it.
Itâs a giant scam, and I refuse to be a part of it.
I donât disagree that debt is something to be avoided like the plague for a merry and carefree life. I personally wander around with zero debt myself and take a firm âif I canât save to pay for it, I donât get itâ approach to life. That said, why not just use a credit card that auto-pays itself off each month so it never pays interest so that you can buy stuff like this online? Hell, why not just use a debit card?
He is philosophically opposed to credit cards, and would like an alternative he can use for online purchases, which is fine. Maybe use a prepaid card? No personal exposure, and they can be bought for cash.
I have no real idea just how far the fractional reserve scam goes, but it wouldnât surprise me in the least if âdebitâ cards invoked it like Iâm sure credit cards do.
Every purchase you make, further enriching some fat banker scumbag.
I use my credit cards like checks. That is, I charge stuff to them, then make sure I pay the balance off each month.
This will mean you donât pay interest I guess, but itâs still free money for the scumbags.
You use your card, the bank says, ah, somebodyâs borrowing money, hey presto, letâs make some out of mostly thin air, then you have to pay them âbackâ.
Reckon they give a shit if you donât pay interest on that?
And as I alluded above, given âdebitâ cards use the same system, whatâs the bet theyâve arranged it so technically youâre borrowing money they pay themselves straight back out of your account or somethingâŚ
âFinancial servicesâ is a euphemism for âscamming motherfuckersâ.
