Reckon we're all terrorists

Well, if you like living a debt-free lifestyle or buying things from a surplus store, you're a terrorist. Congrats! DHS has been circulating a video warning business owners that people who pay in cash are suspicious and weird. Also, it seems people who buy military surplus items in bulk are also terrorists.

Quick! Everyone bring in their local Boy Scout troop and buy the army surplus for winter camping! They get to work on their Personal Management merit badge also by paying cash within their budget! And just to make things better, make sure they all have their Totin' Chip and are carrying a pocketknife! Plus, you gotta get firewood somehow--buy a few axes, saws, and hatchets while you're at it, and don't forget the matches!

Because remember, every Scout is a terrorist in training.
End sarcasm.

Yep -- I must be one!

One persons terrorist is another's freedom fighter

I guess Dave Ramsey is also a terrorist leader for teaching people to not use credit cards. Are they going to send in the SEAL teams after him?

Get my income tax check, cash it and go on a spending spree. I need some camping gear and more ammo.

we used to be red necks, now, were terrorists. that means the gooberment is still scared of the American people.

I was wondering that, too!

It's kinda funny because one of the first things I noticed when I walked in was this big brand new sign (I stay there a lot and have never seen the sign) that says "Best Western Accepts Cash, you must leave a $20 non refundable deposit". Wonder if that's their way of going against this government crap?

Good, I wish more places would do that. Cash is a good thing.

A room cost $20 more if you pay cash?

My co-workers all think I am "weird" because I carry cash versus a credit or debit card. I dont even own a debit card, and if you get dinged for using it looks like I never will. I do have a credit card, i just don't believe in using it for little things like lunch.

Of course, they are constantly "borrowing" cash from me when the restaurant can't get the debit device to work.....

Wow, I'm not quite that extreme!

I don't do the credit card thing, but I do use a debit card. I love online bill pay and I buy too much stuff online not to have one. But yeah, I also get some weird looks when I pay for lunch with cash instead of plastic. Don't worry, though. I'm sure the gubbement will take care of all that when they start forcing everyone to get an RFID chip implanted.

I solemnly swear that I will never use a bank for the rest of my natural life.

....what do you think about that DHS?

I guess I'm safe cause I'm sure not dept free and my wife loves credit cards!! I rarely carry cash. I use a debit card for everything.
