    Yes, very true. But you can’t get both a citizen ID and a Driver’s License at the same time, that’s forbidden by the DMV, at least down here in south Mississippi.

    Believe me, I tried exactly that after I lost my driver’s license once, they refused to issue me a non-driver citizen ID, as I was still a registered driver, so they just reprinted my last driver’s license instead, despite my request for a non-driver ID.

    I’m not sure where you are, but I’d guess 95% of people’s ID cards down this way are driver’s licenses, not pedestrian IDs.

    Edit: I love getting downvoted for spitting proven tested facts about the legal system, that’s awesome 👍 /s

    Whatever, votes don’t matter anyways, facts are real though.

            Beer costs half as much as a candybar or a soda here, so are you sure about that?

            $1.70 for 32 ounce beer here. Hell, that’s even cheaper than 32 ounces of bottled filtered water.

              That must be some actual shit beer then. In no place in the world would I ever expect beer to be cheaper than water, let alone a damn candy bar.

              Just looked it up. Unless you’re Czech, African, or Columbian beer isn’t going to be cheaper than water.

              You seem to speak fluent english, as if it’s your first language, so I’m gonna assume you’re from the western hemisphere.

                The beer I speak of is called King Cobra, which is made by the same company that makes Busch beer, but has a slightly higher alcohol content at 6%. A 32 ounce of that beer indeed costs $1.70, counting tax. In comparison, a 32 ounce bottle of filtered water goes for $2 plus tax, go figure. And a candy bar? $2.75 plus tax. Yeah I think the pricing of stuff around here is indeed about back asswards too.

                I’m assuming you’re not familiar with either brand though, but Busch beer is one of the more common goto beers for typical gatherings such as cookouts and watching sports games and stuff. To me, King Cobra tastes about the same, not too bad really, and it’s also not the true rotgut shit beer that’s actually just a little cheaper.

          It cost me like $180? I don’t remember exactly, and I know not everyone can afford that, but it is a relatively cheap expense for something that lasts a long time and acts as official identification literally all over the world.

        It would have been cheaper to get a non-driver ID as I didn’t have a car anymore at the time. Still don’t actually, whenever I do need to drive, I have to borrow my mom’s car or roommate’s SUV.

        But hey, I got a license 👍
