Bitcoins easy purchase

I have been trying to get some bitcoins for sometime now but I always get a massive headache when I attempt to figuring out how to purchase them. Is there anyway to purchase bitcoins with a bank transfer, credit card, or paypal? I don't understand how else you can purchase them.
And when purchasing bitcoins should I do it on a library computer instead of my own?

bit coins make my head spin as well. I know next to nothing about them, so I may not be of any help, HOWEVER, I bookmarked the following three sites after many shroomerites have rec'd them in countless threads: https://mtgox.com/ https://www.bitcoin.de/en?cr=1 https://bitinstant.com/
good luck. I'll keep checking this thread for other people's info and advice, I'm looking to use some BCs myself in the near future.

The method I have been looking at is 1) set up an account with Dwolla (this involves linking your bank account) 2)use Dwolla to buy bitcoin from mt. Gox
It takes a few days to transfer money and verify your account. Also, this might be outdated since I looked at it a year ago

If you have CVS drugstores or walmarts where you live it's easy. No ID needed either. They might ask but it not required.

I went to a CVS and picked up the red phone and talked to some dude in India for like 10minutes, and yes you can give them all fake info. Make sure you already have your btc order sheet printed off and everything though and a Mt. Gox account is helpful.

You could do it all on Tor if you wanted. I just want to clarify, that video is NOT me, I found that awhile ago and bookmarked it because it was the best, most thorough guide I could ever find.

Mt. Gox is one of the worst ways to buy bitcoin IMO You have to scan your ID, and Scan a Bill with your name on it to prove your identification. That to me, is too much info. Plus, they got hacked into. I'd rather buy BTC through BitInstant and use InstaWallet as a Bitcoin Wallet and then transfer them to uhm...whatever account you're using Besides. instaWallet already puts it through a tumbler. and Certain Websites that use BTC put it through a tumbler as well. That's why it's so untraceable, too.

Regarding Mt Gox... Can't you just scan any ID or use a template with fake info? And use a template to make a fake bill too? Do they send you anything by mail, ever? If not just make up the info you send them. lol

I believe they ask for your SS Number? I'm not entirely sure. I tried to register for Mt. Gox and when they started asking personal questions, I told 'em to suck my left nut. lol.

Well you guys. I did that in the video for the first time ever. I was so sketched out. The first time, I didn't know that the name from bitInstant would link up with the ZipZap account name...so I used the name "Mindyour" and "Ownbusiness" and the indian guy got all pissed off and told me to call zipzap to clarify. hahaha. But, I went back, and then it became a cool indian guy that was really helpful. The chick @ the CVS counter was fucking hella stupid. Kept saying that I needed a number that the moneygram people were supposed to give me, and that I was sending money to a person. I had to tell her that it was to a business, and to look up my Acct number. Then, she asked for my ID, and I told her "Last time I didn't need one.." cause I used a fake name. she just looked all pissed off at me. lol.
