I can definitely attest to Schwab Checking. I signed up for an account before I moved to Korea for two and a half years. I used my card all the time at ATM's and stores without a problem and had all of my fees reimbursed. I traveled throughout Asia to eight different countries without an issue. Their customer service…

That kind of reminds me of Samgak Kimbap from Korea. It's the perfect snack in a perfect triangle of goodness! The packaging is really ingenious, too. You pull a small strip like on a pack of gum and it perfectly opens up to easily eat.

That's not the point. The point is that Democrats and voter rights groups had a reason to be upset. Your contention from the beginning has been that this isn't so. It doesn't matter how many things we agree about if the central tenant of this conversation is at odds.

Oversimplification. Republicans didn't just want to "rally the troops." They wanted to gain any advantage they could. Anyone who knows anything about politics knew the Republican party was doomed in the Presidential election unless something major happened. Due to the divide in the Electoral College, Romney had little…

What exactly is hard to read? Are you trolling me?

Jesus Christ. If you aren't going to bother to read what I am saying, it's not worth my time.

I seriously face palm every time you reply to me.

You only need voter ID in Illinois if you are early voting, are registering by mail for the first time, or if your vote is challenged by the majority of judges in a polling place. In the last case, you could still cast a provisional ballot without an ID. This would allow election workers to decide if your vote is…

No, that's not my argument at all. If you're trying to prevent voter fraud with voter ID laws, not requiring birth or social security documents defeats the purpose. My argument is that these laws were passed in a way that would make it very difficult for certain people to get an ID in the run up to the 2012 election.…

The problem isn't paying for the ID. I don't know what you're not getting about this. The bigger issue is the supporting documents. I don't know how to explain this to you any clearer. You can argue all you want about how easy it SHOULD be to get an ID. I'm just telling you about real world experiences. Given enough…

Not everybody drinks or smokes. Also, the troubles in getting an ID card are the same as a driver's license. Nothing is different.

Well, if that is your question, then states like New York and California had more minorities voting. What I'm trying to explain to you is that this issue isn't necessarily about the number of people voting. It would only make sense that you would have massive turnout by minorities for our first minority President.…

What? Read what I wrote again. If people turned out in high numbers due to the backlash against voter ID laws, voter turnout would increase, but it still would't change the fact that some people may have been disenfranchised.

It's not about the act of requiring ID's to vote. It's about the manner in which the laws were enacted. Most of them were forced through state legislators in such a way that it would make it very difficult to contest in court before the election.

I completely get what you were saying. It wasn't something that I was thinking when I made the comment, but I do stick by the fact that I would still listen to a doctor's opinion over someone who is obviously misinformed, even considering your very accurate statement. I do appreciate your perspective, though. It is…

Funny, because I don't see how you could read that comment any differently.

What groups and how was the study conducted? Was the increased turnout a part of the backlash to the laws? Do you have citations for your claims? I find your comment to be unfounded and likely a product of misinformation.

If I may, I have quite a bit of experience in this field. I am a patient advocate in an Illinois hospital assisting patients in applying for Medicaid. In order to apply for Medicaid, you must provide a state issued picture ID. I can not tell you how many people this is a problem for. Many people have never needed an…

So, what you're saying is that I only have to spend a couple hundred bucks and I wouldn't need all the "bloatware" from Microsoft? Yeah, no thanks. I'm assuming you also see paying an extra $500 for a Mac is worth not having all that bloatware. Funny thing is, if you actually knew what you were doing, you could buy a…

I don't understand why you didn't go to an area with multiple available internet connections. If you only had two connections available to you, the results would be better, but wouldn't really represent what this program is capable of doing. If you're going to write a review about it, why not actually go test it in…
