10th Circuit Says FTC Can Enforce Do Not Call
TCPALaw writes "Reuters is reporting
that the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals has just ruled that the FTC can
go ahead with administration and enforcement of the national Do-Not-Call
list, staying a lower court ruling that blocked the FTC from
implementing the list. Now I can sue
those pesky telemarketers .. I have already gotten
3 telemarketing calls to the phone number I put on the national list
since the list went into effect."
Reader jhlund1976 points to the court's decision itself. Note, as
strredwolf does, that this only means the FTC can "run the registry while a
challenge from telemarketers winds its way through the courts." Strredwolf also points to the
all-knowing

I am an American, I live in the northeastern US, and I'm going to Quebec City this weekend for fun, because I like Canada. There is not this cultural difference that you think there is, you just have not yet come to accept that money rules
the north american continent. The reason it's called North American is because you are fucking owned by Americans, and it's time we learned to live with each other.
Basically, you haven't been subjected to the same stresses as Americans, mostly due to population density. Once you start feeling the bulge (and you already are along the American border) you will realize that feeding your kids is more important than your demeanor on the telephone at work.
Maybe, if we can see your point, and you can understand the causes of our situation, we will be able to work together (as we will eventually have to do) to find amenable solutions to the problems that give rise to belligerent telemarketers. But until Canadians can realize that, Americans will never be able to see past your perceived cultural virginity to be able to find a truly workable solution.
Hope that war doesn't try to solve the problems first.
Wow. Mature. Doesn't address my argument at all.
Additionally, I don't have kids. And you want my kid to get cancer because of a few phone calls? You need therapy. Give me your address, I'll beat it into you.
