"I don't like it so it should be banned for everybody." I had an allergic reaction to peanuts so they should be banned from the US. Criminals used a handgun to commit a crime so guns should be outlawed. <br /><br />There are over 4 million US citizens employed in the contact center industry. That's more teachers. That's more than truck drivers. Obviously someone is buying or those jobs wouldn't exist now would they? <br /><br />But your solution is to ban anything you dislike; to put more people out of work during the worst economic conditions since the great depression AND to increase the size of the government to enforce those actions - all because you're too dang lazy to use Caller ID or an answer machine to screen the calls. And by the way, there are services to block unknown calls if you would get off your soap box long enough to look.<br /><br />The telemarketing call your father's hospital room was a violation of law. Since your number is on the Do-Not-Call list, unsolicited sales calls to your home are a violation of law. Those were the acts of criminals using the telephone to run their scams. Having said that, banning all business by phone makes as much sense as banning guns. <br /><br />Talk about turning us into a Socialist country! Americans need to quit trying to take the easy road by asking the government to do everything for them. We can't afford any more government or any fewer jobs. Grow some hair and deal with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
