However Thursday, in Denver, Colorado, a second federal court, ruled that the rule infringed on telemarketers’ free speech rights.
What about people’s freddom to not receive calls they don’t want to receive?
It will probably end up as status quo, there’s too many people with money earning money on telemarketering.
The Americans will just have to resort to old tricks such as trying to sell the telemarketers broken products, moaning into the telephone, and saying you considered to buy the product untill they called you.
It was late and I was sleepy. It wasn’t a freudian slip, now if anyone noticed, shut up about it.
While it’s pretty damn unlikely that anyone would SUPPORT the telemarketers with anything other than “they’re just doing their jobs,” I have to say that I agree with Nulani’s tactics. And this disturbs me.

Hmm a debatable Godwin’s Law Invoke =)
Telemarketers are worse than Nazis. In fact, they’re worse than Satan. They interrupt our dinners and quiet times to ask you to buy crappy merchandise.
Then again, like Scott Adams said:
“People have to buy crap because crap is the only thing to sell. Let’s face it, if people didn’t buy crap, the entire economy would collapse.”

It says in the article that they have a way to cheat caller ID. And whatever it is, it’ll only be forbidden after some months.
I miss telemarketers a bit. 'cause you can say WHATEVER you want to them and they can’t do shit. My cousin Whitey and I staged a murder over the phone once. The marketer replied “What the FUCK? click”
Good times.
You mean Bush actually did something useful, that’s gotta be a first right?

It’s not a way to cheat Call ID, it’s just that their phone numbers and place of business doesnt show up on CID. Usually it shows up as Out of Area or Private or something. Whenever someone calls, if it says Out of Area I just let the machine pick up anyway. So meh, no big deal, they waste what? 5 seconds of my time because I had to get up and look at the phone?
I have the tendence to agree with Nulani in most cases. Such as this one. Though most of you won’t want to moan on the phone.

He has done a few other things right. However, he still screwed up a majority of the time, so it all balances out.

See, he’s not all bad. He’s still a trigger happy terrorist hunter, but at least he can do other things.
