Get the card sharkmug. Plastic passport to debt slavery. Let's face it, if you can't afford something by direct debit, does it make sense to take out a high interest loan for it? If you can't afford to pay for it now, will you be able to pay even more shortly later?
Madness! Credit cards lead to spiraling debt by encouraging a buy now, PAY through the roof later culture. Ease of use helps people forget that they're spending hard money, moreso than cash.
Can be ruthless in reclaiming spiraling debt, people have become bankrupt and lost house and home because of credit cards.
Often seduce impressionable people with an array of asthetic/colour options, promoting it as a fashion item to be flouted!

FACT: The collective personal debt of Britain is now around one trillion Pounds (£); that's greater than the entire external debt of Africa, Asia and Latin America combined! Talk about a credit card culture. The bubble will burst, with mass reposessions etc.

Get the credit cardmug. Similar to the race card, this has been a phenomena in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens used by non-U.S. athletes or by fans of non-U.S. teams as to why an American wins a gold medal or why an American finishes above another country's athlete. The claim is that the IOC is in collusion with the U.S. teams and predetermines results when the truth is that after the 2002 scandals in Salt Lake, the IOC is very anti-American at this point. It serves a double purpose:
1) To justify a loss from an athlete.
2) To voice anti-American sentiment had by athletes, staff, and fans since before the games began.

Prime example: Svetlana Khorkina says the reason she didn't win the All-Around was because she wasn't American.
Another example: S. Koreans are attacking Americans for the scoring error more than the judges that committed the error. Where were they when judges from France and Russia were in collusion to guarantee their skaters gold medals?

Get the American Cardmug. The act of bringing up the the memories or recent death of a loved one, in order for others to feel guilty or to get a break. A situation in which a person mourning does not have the will or energy to deal with being responsible.

Get the death cardmug. Being in a public restroom, needing to poop, but afraid you will make a very loud sound if you let go. You try to wait till everyone else leaves.

Get the reverse cardmug. When a person that isn't white uses their ethnicity as an advantage in the workplace (i.e., getting hired or promotions)
The boss at MegaCorp hired LaTon instead of Mike. Mile had the better résumé, but he was white. LaTon used the "Race Card" during his interview as an unfair advantage.
