Anyone who has used PayPal for online or eBay payments knows what a giant pain in the butt they can be. There are entire web subcultures devoted to PayPal’s demise, because they routinely cost honest people hundreds of dollars through no fault of their users’. In seriousness I don’t condone bombing. However, satirically, the clowns at PayPal are lucky they don’t have a listed phone number.
So it is with little shock that today a bomb was set off near PayPal. The news is breaking, so analysis from me isn’t much better than the idiots on Fox News or CNN no doubt prattling on about how PayPal is a payment service, and how maybe Al Qaeda was upset that their funds were frozen, and didn’t want to fax in their ID to PayPal, only to be told that their case was past the due date for review. So you can see, it’s clearly an act of terrorism, and Meg Whitman needs to be waterboarded so we can finally get some positive feedback and decent customer service.
It’s true, just Skype your friends in California, they’ll confirm that the bombing took place. They’ll also tell you that PayPal acts like a bank, but isn’t regulated like one, so that they end up robbing people blind sometimes, and not even Class Action lawsuits are enough to put things in order. As a recipient of some Class Action PayPal money, I still don’t feel satisfied after getting a big fat cheque for just $13US. Even the $49 I was potentially due, wouldn’t have made dealing with them worth it.

You’re talking about my Blogger account? I don’t use Blogger for anything but commenting, and a few other blogger accounts I contribute occasionally to. I could try to make it more straightforward for people to find this blog from my Blogger account, but I just assume if anyone’s interested they’ll either remember my URL, or bookmark it, or RSS feed my site.

not everyone is computer savvy…but i am also just teasing you…
I always try to payback comments when people comment at my place…I think that is why I get comments…and as for getting 10 times as many as you…big whoop…most of them are crap…nonesense..perverted bullshit (oh, maybe i cant say that here…let me know, i will refrain from impoliteness) I consider my blog the seinfeld of the blogging world…its usually about nothing…but I guess some people are all about the nothing.
Its not that i dont care about what is going on in the world, and i do have another blog, I just get tired of all the bitching…and life is short and I think people need to laugh more…if i can make even one person laugh a day, that would make me happy…I wish everyone tried to make one person laugh a day :-D

Good attitude about the laughs, and the return commenting. Potty talk is allowed here within reason. I think sometimes my Mom reads my blog, so I try not to put anything on here I wouldn’t say in front of her.
If Spam Karma 2 my filter isn’t sure about a comment for whatever reason, it’s supposed to give a simple challenge picture to the commenter. I’m only worried if someone can’t post past the “captcha” image, but since you can, sorry for the inconvenience, but it keeps spambots out of the comments.
