I think I would have to come out against this anti-telemarketer law.
There is always something you can do at home to combat these calls. Let the machine get it.. turn the ringer low or off.
The telemarketing industry employs a lot of people. Do we really need to loose more jobs right now? I don't think so. A lot of people will be out of work.
Where are all the so-called "compassionate" liberals on this issue? The telemarketing industry employs tons of disabled and handicapped people. These are people who can't get jobs in other industries. I don't hear anyone sticking up for these people.
Plus you know this whole federal list is bullshit. Political campaigns, charities, businesses whom you have done business with in the past are all exempt from the law. There are other exemptions but I forgot them right now.
How come no one is arguing in favor of jobs. I get a lot of these calls too, but I either answer the phone or I don't. After all, the person on the other end of the phone is just trying to earn a living.
Too bad for them.
How about:
a) The Do-Not-Call list stands, and I enjoy my Pursuit Of Happiness free of assholes leaving recordings on my answering machine, or calling me at 7:30 am on Saturday.
b) The government puts more effort towards giving these pinheads back their customer support jobs that went overseas to India and other countries.
I don't want to be sold a satellite dish by a handicapped American, while an English-as-a-Second-Language person (PC, yes, go fuck yerself) tries to walk me through my hard-disk-crash trauma . . .
I want the handicapped American to walk me through my hard-disk-trauma, and the satellite-dish salesmen to fuck right the fuck off!!!!
. . . Is that too much to ask?
