Who knew some bank stupid would come to this?
So, over on [info]stupid_free, [info]dwa20 posts about someone who doesn't seem to fathom how a bank account works. But that's not the wank. The wank begins when [info]albino_dinosaur says, "i will never ever ever ever understand using a debit card to make a $1 purchase." Well actually, it's not his/her's fault...it's the response by [info]hey_its_michael that gets things rolling:

"I dislike cash for a multitude of reasons (it's literally filthy, requires me to carry paper declaring a belief in the supernatural, and is inconvenient). I debit whenever I can, but carry cash for those times I cannot".

[info]anomie666 immediately goes on the attack:

"When meta-stupids attack!!

Your radical atheism is one of the reasons you don't carry cash!"

Thus begins a brawl between [info]hey_its_michael and [info]anomie666. The constitution is rammed up the ass sideways repeatedly discussed, the meaning of separation of church and state is argued, and Google is called upon to settle things. Small but tasty, I thought.

My thoughts on cash... let me show you them

I just want America to bring out the 500 yen... I mean $5 coin already. Nothing so handy when it comes to vending machines!

There's such a thing as "too convenient" when it comes to spending money, you know. (As many people discover when they get a look at their bank and/or credit card statement.)

Man, though, it screwed me right up when the bills started at ~$10 in Japan. We didn't care about spending coins as heritage of our American upbringing... and suddenly that $100 we took out from the ATM was gone. I mean, all we really spent was coins from change... which was just about everything. Why did all the yummy drinks have to be so expensive?

Still, the worst had little to do with 500 yen coins, more about saving up a pound of 100 yen coins to do laundry. Gah.

True, but... all that spending would be good for the economy?
