OK. Its upfront cost is more than that of an incandescent. I'll grant you that.
Do you like being cheated? Do I have to be cheated like this to want to save a little money?
Cheated is a stretch. First off, nearly all of them come with a warranty. You can get a replacement or a refund. Second, if it went out within the first two weeks like you say, just return the damn thing to the store. Third, just because something broke earlier than predicted doesn't mean you were cheated. Manufacturing does not have a 0 percent error rate. Clearly, if everyone's bulbs only lasted two weeks, there would not be this much support for them in the free marketplace.
Plus, like I say in the other post, I don’t want to wear a hazmat suit or spend $2,000 on clean up.
Well, that claim has been debunked and the fact that the claim has been debunked has been widely noted. For some reason, you prefer propaganda to fact.
It’s bad enough I have a very dangerous bulb to get rid of now. I don’t really appreciate that hassle. They should pay me.
Do you really believe this nonsense? Personally, I don't give a crap if you buy the CFL bulbs or not. You would save yourself money in the long run if you did. There would probably be a negligible benefit to our environment if you did.
So, your undeniable logic is it’s okay to cheat people?
Calm down. Nobody's been cheated. If you were too foolish to return the bulb or take advantage of the supplied warranty, that's your own fault.
You really are a hysterical one. Believing that you've been "cheated", believing that CFL bulbs are designed to last two weeks but advertised to last years, believing that they are "very dangerous", and believing that if one breaks you need to wear a hazmat suit and spend $2k on cleanup. Good grief.
I just don’t like the hassle of buying an inferior product then they say I can get a refund or a replacement but I have to waste time standing in line somewhere.
I think I will look on the package and send them a nasty email later and then I’ll feel better.
Probably the reason they lie and cheat people is because they have gone mad from mercury poisoning?
