Personal Loan through AmEx
Posted by OhGill on 2/23/18 at 5:17 pm
I logged into my AmEx account this morning and noticed a pre-approval alert for a PL of up to $15,000 with an interest rate of up to 9.69%. Went ahead an applied since I have a balance on 2 CCs and wanted to consolidate. My question is: Has anyone gotten a PL through AmEx and what was that experienc...
re: Are there really 300 mass shootings per year in the US?

While not all Hispanics are undocumented immigrants, the majority of undocumented immigrants [i]are[/i] Hispanic so the data will disproportionately show that if an undocumented immigrant is committing a crime, then they are likely to be of Hispanic descent.
I also find fault in the data as it is...

Absolutely it is misleading, but I also find that it is a slippery slope to downplay the definitions as it also downplays the actions/crimes in a way. ...

You're not serious.
From the bureau of justice statistics:
[quote]Of the nearly 3.7 million violent victimizations committed
against white victims during 2012-15, a total of 57% were
committed by white offenders, 15% by black offenders, and
11% by Hispanic offenders. Similarly, the majority...

As many have stated the number of victims needs to be 3 or more in order to qualify as a "mass shooting". If you use that definition then maybe. It is like the definition of serial killers. According to the FBI, a serial killer is someone who commits at least three murders over more than a month wit...
re: I just don't understand why in the 50s and 60s these shootings were extremely rare.
Posted by OhGill on 2/15/18 at 4:22 pm
Are you really serious? Yes, these shootings were not a bi-monthly ordeal, but your reasoning makes me feel like you're trolling.

While the United States was close to 90% Caucasian, religion is a different matter.
Statistically speaking c...
re: Minimum Pay Increase you'd accept to move to a competitor
Posted by OhGill on 2/15/18 at 4:02 pm
Given that my field is so specialized and our direct competitors are also some of our biggest supporters, it would be hard for me to take an offer from any of them. In our industry its hard enough to succeed without poaching each other's employees.
Now.. that is not to say I wouldn't if they offe...
re: How to survive a mass shooting
Posted by OhGill on 2/15/18 at 3:54 pm
:cheers:
The thought that this isn't preventable is also laughable. We (as a country) are #1 in mass shootings - somehow other countries have figured it out. We should be able to as well....
re: Is $1,000 for a phone that ridiculous?
Posted by OhGill on 2/15/18 at 3:51 pm
To me this is the correct answer:
[quote]This phone does everything a $1000 can do that I care about. [/quote]
If you have certain needs and don't want to research your options or don't know better (like adding external memory), you will buy the $1,000 because you personally think it meets you...

I highly recommend Hulu Live - I believe it is about $40/month and also gives you access to their streaming service.
Cutting the cord was the best thing I ever did....
