Do-Not-Call List, Two Years Later

Carl Bialik writes "The Wall Street Journal is reporting that two years after the National Do Not Call Registry took effect, regulators say the system is working, but only six federal fines have been issued. More than half of registered consumers say they're still getting unwanted calls, according to a recent phone survey. Now, a fresh fight is brewing over which calls are restricted and which ones aren't. Twenty-five states maintain their own do-not-call lists, and many of them impose tougher restrictions on the kinds of calls that telemarketers can make."

Zero calls since I added my number to the list, and I even put it up on MySpace!

For a good time, call 910-528-6711.

You still *chose* to take a job where you're being paid to annoy the fuck out of people. That still makes you an incosiderate asshole. WHen you're being an inconsiderate asshole, you have no right to complain that other people are returning the favor. Here's a suggestion- take a job where you don't treat other people like their time is absolutely worthless, and maybe people will respect you. Until then, fuck off.
