Shred that paper!


Recommended Posts

Geeze just go burn it with a fire in your backyard, burn some logs, have a fun time, and then burn all your school papers at the same time. Thats what my friends and I do at the end of every year, take all our papers we don't need and burn them. It makes for a nice evening around the fire, sorry guys but fire had been controlled by man for 500k years...I don't think tis going to do much to have another one ;)

Burning it will get rid of everything, and I wouldn't recycle the paper, people can still see it, sorry but I don't think the CIA recycles their documents kids...

SSNs are used for too much in America - here we have 'tax file numbers', and they're just used for financial stuff. Too risky to go using them as your ID for anything and everything.

Thankfully my college doesn't use your SSN for your student ID, but it can be on our drivers license, but its optional. Mine's been memorized since we had to memorize it in 8th grade, so I don't need reminders.

You got one in 8th Grade!? I would have thought you wouldn't get one until AT LEAST 15...:/

Why spend money on a paper shredder? Just burn it. :/ That's what I would do, at least.

agree, it is cheaper. That's what I did with my school stuff

Soak it in water for a few days... then when it's dried, THEN send it to the recyclers... the ink would've come of the paper and be unreadable! :D I do it all the time, works a charm

I think he meant his SSN.

Lol. Yea sorry I did mean my SSN, I guess I worded it wrong :wacko:

Yea we had to memorize it when we had to fill out job applications for practice, unfortunatly I got a lot of "No Way Jose's" (I dunno if thats how you spell it in Spanish, my language is German :p), yet I was the only one at 14 I knew with a job :alien:

We're not allowed to get jobs until 15 here - by law.

I wouldn't worry about it too much - someones probably already stolen your ID...

Of course - you haven't truly lived until someone steals your identity... :rofl:

It's truly a shame. Social security numbers weren't supposed to be used for *anything* other than social security when created, but a lot of places seem to have mooched off the system in the meantime. *Really* peeves me seeing schools that use them for student ID's and such, as I don't think there's ever even been given legal authorization to do so.

Anyway, you can find various forms of paper shredders at your local office supply (like OfficeMax / Office Depot), at Costco, Fry's, wherever. Price can vary a lot, though at most places (like, say, Fry's), you can find something decent for about $25 or so. Don't know that there's any great and glorious model in particular out there.

Just make sure you shred other stuff like those credit card applications and the like when you get something.

(If you can find a model that clips on to a trash can, vs. a model that comes with its own can, you can often save a lot.)
