Thanks for holding this giveaway! Too many giveaways depend on following on Twitter or Facebook, which I refuse to touch because I know how easily I get addicted to things.

Well, it's been a while since my last post, but.... WHAT FOUL SORCERY IS THIS? I don't see this figure listed at all on Amiami. Not even under a "sold-out" listing. Does this mean I cannot treat Amiami as my one-stop-shop for information on all things figurine?

2. Probably. 3. While I should have looked at it to double-check, I just can't make myself care that much right now. But didn't the I-9 require two forms of documentation, one from a column A and one from a column B? Column B was mostly non-photo ID, and Column A had a few exceptions, mainly...

Not necessarily. The ones who get benefits are the ones that are unemployed. And they probably already have an ID, as I would imagine you need that in order to file/claim benefits (but I could be wrong, y'know, having never been on benefits) The ones who may not have time to get an ID might be...

1. I'm not sure if a smiley face means you're joking, but pretty sure Democrats aren't usually fighting for looser restrictions on gun purchases. 2. Or you could use someone else's Blockbuster card. 3. I LIKE my photo ID. It has proven to be very useful and convenient. That being said, for...

First point, nicely done. I think you know what I was trying to say/wildly speculate though, is that the demographics of people who WANT to get married, stupidly or not, may simply overwhelmingly have IDs. Whether because they drove to Las Vegas, or have reached a financially stable point in...

I see what you're saying, and I see where I was unclear. But to reiterate, it may have been discriminatory, but it wasn't new. When I said it was a fact of life, I wasn't trying to say that people should accept it, just that there won't be a sense of surprise/outrage. Thus the lack of outcry...

Showing ID for credit card purchases varies, I think. Very rarely have I been asked to present an ID when making a purchase (MAYBE when making a large purchase), certainly never online, and if the purchase is small enough, I don't even have to sign a receipt.

I don't claim to know any of the statistics, I'm merely saying that not having a voting ID does not prevent you from having access to a bank account, or depositing checks. For instance, say the account is only in the husband's name, or father's. If this is a family that trusts each other...

To bring it back to the topic though, would a social security card be a valid form of ID for the voting restrictions that were being attempted to put into place? Unless they've radically changed the format since I received mine, it's a cheap piece of paper with no photo or security measures to...

In this wonderful age of the internet, I haven't had to fill out an I-9 when applying....ever, I think. And while I probably filled out an I-9 form before to work, I don't recall having to whip out my ID. Regarding tobacco, alcohol, and guns, those aren't necessary for functioning in society...

I suppose it comes down to how often do you actually have to show an ID. I don't think I've had to show an ID since I was last called for jury duty 2 years ago. What are the activities that require showing an ID? Creating a bank account? Driving a car? So if you don't have those, you don't need...

One thing I never considered, until a friend pointed it out to me, was that in the cities, where it's often more convenient to walk than drive, there are people who don't have driver's licenses because they don't need a car or can't afford one. And then from there, what kind of people live in...

Y'know, I remember this thread going into racial territory, so I thought I'd toss this article into the mix, and see if it counters any of the statements made (I honestly don't remember). http://money.cnn.com/2014/05/01/news/economy/obamacare-enrollment/index.html?hpt=hp_bn3

The thing you keep forgetting is we ALREADY were accountable for them, when they go running to the emergency room and don't have insurance. And then we pay MORE, because there's no insurance company to negotiate a lower price.

The reason why people don't see what you do is because EVEN serious libertarian economists will say "just because you know how to run a company, does not mean you know how to run the government." My personal take on it is that companies can behave they way they do, BECAUSE the government offers...

Debt, as in what they spent so far? Obama $6 trillion Reagan $3 trillion Now, here's where inflation comes in, that funny concept that everyone seems to ignore. In 1980 dollars, $3 trillion = $8.49 trillion. In 1988 dollars, $3 trillion = $5.91 trillion. Since I don't believe Reagan increased...

Detroit WAS a lousy place, but when the auto-industry was big, people moved there to work. And Detroit grew as a result. I would posit, based on the view of someone who worked at GM, that the real cause for the failure of Detroit has less to do with Democratic or Liberal policies, but from...

You keep saying Obama's debt, and I keep asking you about Reagan, once you factor in inflation. (About equal in terms of real-purchasing power, but Reagan quadrupled the deficit, Obama did less than that) The thing I've noticed about those figures so oft-cited is that not once do they ever seem...
