Let me get this striaght - You're sitting here bitching about all the useless telemarketers who may lose their jobs and you complain about "bitching and moaning"? Boy, get yourself a mirror!
As for asking the government to help you, I have no symphathy for Democrats, or people who think they aren't Democrats.
Its no different than asking the government to help police my property against other soliciters and tresspassers. Its just that you think there's some magical difference between harassing someone in person and doing so with a telephone. I'm not sure why you would consider that as being a democrat.
Unbearable barrage of phone calls? Wow. Did you wilt? Shrink? Turn pale and have a heart attack? Did you just hide in the closet and cry?
Dude - listen up - its MY telephone and I don't want you or your useless deceptive telemarketers calling me at any hour. Ever! And nobody is entitled to tresspass on my property including my phone line unless I give permission. Is that such a hard concept for you to understand? Apparently, for most telemarketers it is, since the vast majority of people in this country have turned to the government, much like they'd turn to the police, to help enforce that concept.
The more you depend on government to do things for you, the less freedom you will have. All you did was make government bigger and assist large corporations in stepping on small independent businessmen. You sir, are no American.
Baloney - you're making a mountain out of a molehill. This is no different than a do-not-solicit sign for the phone line. And since it involves interstate commerce, the US government is the only logical entity with jurisdiction.
The commerce clause was designed to allow the Federal government to overrule State government restrictions on interstate commerce such as tariffs (or hypothetically, State do-not-call lists). Other than that limited role it has no authority to regulate commerce and especially not to restrict it as in this case.
You ran from this before, so I will say it again in different words. What makes you think 2 million people who earned there living telemarketing were useless, either to themselves, the business community or their customers. I know why you don't answer it. You can't because you remark is stupid. I have faith that someday you too will learn this. Its no different than asking the government to help police my property against other soliciters and tresspassers.
Is there a government list for tresspassers? I think not. Aren't you going over the dep end here? You are. Guess you just don't realize it. Going to the government to solve you imaginary problems is a classic Democratic symptom. Better check your voter registration. Who knows what else you are doing while you aren't looking. Dude - listen up - its MY telephone and I don't want you or your useless deceptive telemarketers calling me at any hour. Ever! And nobody is entitled to tresspass on my property including my phone line unless I give permission. Is that such a hard concept for you to understand?
That's easy. Cut your phone line off at your property line. No problems. The telephone system is something we all share for all sorts of reasons. You just want to use the parts I use without letting others use the parts you use.
Apparently, for most telemarketers it is, since the vast majority of people in this country have turned to the government, much like they'd turn to the police, to help enforce that concept.
Yes, but I find nothing admirable in encouraging weak minded petulance.
This is no different than a do-not-solicit sign for the phone line.
Oh yes there is. As far as I am concerned, you can hang a hundred 'do-not-solicit' signs on your phone when I call. I have no problem with that. I don't care how many of those are on it when I call as long as you aren't too rude or stupid to answer your phone like a human being. Even if your aren't, I'll try some other time in the off-hand chance you have learned a little more about taking care of your self in a civilized manner.
