Telemarketing, the way that it has been done in the past ten years or so, IS HARASSMENT.

Then don't sign up for phone service, it's not an entitlement.

No it's not an entitlement, it's virtual door on my house that now has a No Soliciting sign on it. Stunting one's life to avoid the abuse of others is folly.

entitlement? Isn't an entitlement paid for by someone other than myself?

...a service paid for by me for my use and benefit, not the benefit of some asshole tele-intruder.

All Americans, except you, should call their telephone provider and all request new UNPUBLISHED phone numbers then there wouldn't be a need for no stinking list.

Do you have a phone?

It's an "entitlement" if I pay for it! Just like I'd have the right to turn away a door-to-door salesperson on MY front steps. Telemarketing is harassment, especially when it's high volume. The telemarketers have no right to bring their voice into my home.

Of course it's not an entitlement. WE PAY FOR IT! Jeeezzzz! Think a little bit before you post.
