Sheesh.
Yes, the kindle is "global", in the sense that you can't buy it or buy books for it from Amazon from many other places than the US. In that setting, sure it's global.
But here's the thing: You can't at one part of the argument claim that kindle is "global", yet have another premise going straight against it: That they need to be contacted directly, and that even if abroad, they have to go through the FTC, BBB (or whatever it's called over there).
Thanks. I'm a journo, so it works out fine for me.

Restaurants also used to have signs saying 'We do not serve blacks'. Did the fact that they had a public policy make it right? The amazon policy is indeed discriminatory against folks that do not have credit cards, which by its nature discriminates against folks on the poor side of the tracks.

A direct quote is when someone uses those words in that order, that is what happened.

But that's the problem, isn't i? You recapped what they said as a group, but you didn't quote directly.
So, yeah, I think I'm keeping my day job.

I am not sure why people are so offended. But if you are a long time member and pick on new posters, well what do you expect.

Keep fostering those fantasies and they'll evovle into a fullblown outlook on life.
Seriously, it's a logical fallacy. Something you're very prone to nurse.

The laugh is that my comments have made you write pages and pages. You will lose sleep and I will not.

Nope. Although it is night (morning, by now), I'm waiting for my long-time gf to come home from a festival. They had car troubles, so are stuck. I decided 8 hours ago that I'll stay awake if I could.
I'm still laughing
