Let me guess, you're a liberal? (off topic, but I feel that I make an accurate assumption)

Define "liberal".

If they're being forced to do something against their will... yeah, it does make them innocent. If you're raped, does that not make you innocent? You're being forced to perform a sexual act, yet the victim is still performing the act. Then by your logic, they're not innocent. Now you've just made all rapists wrongfully accused.

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.

Calling people and advertising is an equivelant of killing jews? You're a member of PETA, aren't you?

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

If telemarketing didn't work, it wouldn't be worth spending the money on it, now would it be? Corporations don't just go, "hey, let's waste millions of dollars on telemarketing just for the Hell of it!" They know that it works. Sure, a majority of people don't buy into the products, but for the percentage that it does work on... they make a profit off of.

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.

Also, if you're going to bitch about telemarketing, then you better bitch about TV commercials, radio commercials, and road bilboards because they do the same thing. If I see a Budweiser TV commercial, I'm not interested in buying Budweiser, but that doesn't mean that it won't work on others.

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.

Also, yeah, there is a shortage of jobs. Unemployment is at 5%, which means that it's NOT at full employment (4% unemployment). If it's not at full employment, it means that there's not enough jobs for there to be full employment. Hence an obvious observation of a shortage of jobs.

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.
