Define "liberal".

Democrat

That entire paragraph was absolute nonsense. Rapists have a choice, the victem doesn't. Similarly, you, the telemarketer, can quit your job and stop bugging people. The people on the recieving end of the call have no choice. Even if we don't answer, we endure the endless ringing, and then you just call back later that day.

My comparison makes perfect sense. I wasn't comparing anything to telemarketers in this paragraph, I was just saying that Nazi soldiers were innocent even though they were forced to kill millions. Nothing more; nothing less.

Dover

Are you shitting me? Of course not. PETA sucks. And I never implied that the two were equivelants.

I never said you did, but the president of PETA seems to think that killing animals is equivelant to the Holocaust, so I figured you gained your ammo from her.

Do spam e-mails work? I doubt it, but people still do it because it's do damn cheap. The companies win because they get a measly "20 or so percent" of the people called, the callers win because they get their measly $14 an hour, but the call-reciever just gets pissed off.

Some spam e-mails work, but it's not the legit corporations that spam.

The customers who buy into the product aren't pissed, are they? Also, anybody getting pissed over a phone call needs anger management.

Dover

Oh, but there are ways around those. I have Tivo, and can skip commercials. I listen to internet radio--no commercials. I'm not FORCED to look at road billboards. They're just there if I happen to glance over. If I don't like it, I look away. I can't do that with telemarketers.

Yes, you can. You just simply ignore the call. Don't pick up. Let the answering machine get it. If it's a telemarketer, they won't leave a message.

Dover

You dumbass. Do you have any grasp of economics? If we were at 0% unemployment, do you know how much inflation there'd be? Your $14 an hour would be worthless. The target unemployment rate is between 4 and 6%, so I'd say there are enough jobs. More than enough, even.

I have plenty of a grasp of economics. I was going for business management last year. Wink

I know what would happen with unemployment being 0%, but did I ever mention that figure (0%)? No, I said full employment is 4%. 5 percent is actually a fairly larger number than 4% (around 1.5 million people), so no, 5% is not a perfectly healthy unemployment rate. The target is 4%, not 4-6%. 2 percent is quite a big margin.


whoa.
