Skype's Free Phone Call Plan Will Soon Have Annual Fee

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the all-good-things-must-end dept.

The New York Times is reporting that Skype has said it would begin charging $30 a year for unlimited calls to landline and mobile phones within the United States and Canada. From the article: "As a promotion, Skype began allowing its users to place free domestic 'SkypeOut' calls from their computers to traditional and mobile phones last May. At the time, the company said the promotion would extend only through year's end. The company is offering a half-price subscription to those who sign up before Jan. 31. Calls from one computer to another have been and will continue to be free."

    300+ proofs that God doesn't exist! What is that? There's no way that was written by any actual atheists.

    It's like one of those emails conservatives were sending around a few years ago with "actual" quotes from John Kerry and so forth explaining how they mostly want to massage Osama's feet, and maybe buy him a pony.

    I was hoping at least for something funny... but arguments including "Atheist cries until theist goes away" aren't doing it.

    or:
    ARGUMENT FROM CROCKERY
    1. Pots can give orders to the potter as long as the pots think they are morally superior somehow.
    2. Therefore, God doesn't exist.

    Hmm, yeah.

    If you want to evangelize, what's wrong with doing it honestly?
    If you want to make arguments for God's existence, why not do that, and address the *actual* counter-arguments, instead of hoping to trick confused people into thinking this is the best the non-believers have to offer?

    I have no idea if you wrote any of these; you're supporting it either way.
