I think the point of this is to protect against variable payments or unexpected charges, such as a company messing your bill up or unexpected cell phone charges.

I think if the US held a draft at any point in time in the near future, there'd be riots and anarchy.

*Nevermind*, you replied to me instead of bandit.

I have student loans, so I'm guessing that my education has forced my hand in starting my credit score.

I didn't think I'd find a Hamsteaks reference on Deadspin.

Who said you can't eat the leftovers, or utilize them as decorations? This is a food, not an inedible material.

They've stated that they're doing OS X testing.
