    No. I think that, at least looking at what is coming out of Hollywood that the current writers are shit. They can be easily replaced with other shit writers.

    I have seen the writing coming out of Hollywood for the last couple of decades and my suggestion to these entitled little shits. Keep working. If you stop, the only thing that will happen is that people will realize that they have no real talent and that there are many replacements that can do their job AT LEAST as well.

    Don't strike if you are not needed.

    If you are teaching children stuff about geography and you are using a single projection, you are either a bad teacher or you have an agenda. You should use globe for accuracy or multiple projections depending on what you need to be accurate at the time.

    That is just not, "more accurate". The same amount of inaccuracy just in different ways. If they actually wanted more accurate, that is easy. Look at a globe.

    "There is no need for extra mass transport in Chicago."

    I know nothing of the transportation needs of Chicago.

    If you had made a more general statement like ...

    There's no reason for companies to mask or spoof their phone numbers. Yes, please, stop all that!

    Then I could correct you. When people make all encompassing, general statements, they are generally wrong. Like in this quoted one.

    the spoofing we are talking about here is making a number you don't own show up on the caller ID. you example is not effected. you ever hear of context? spoofing a number that you don't own. no spoofing should be allowed.

    How exactly do you track that? The last enterprise phone system I ran, output Caller IDs depending on the extension and department multiple 800#s held by 2 different telecommunications providers and DIDs held by both AT&T and Verizon. Instead of trying to solve all problems by creating regulations and paperwork to hinder honest businesses, you could just put people in prison for being a bad actor,

    there is an article about building a new airport in chicago. someone says "we don't need extra transportation" stupid then chimes in "yeah we do - you've apparently never driven a car in LA." people point out to you - the article is about a 3rd airport in chicago, not cars in LA. stupid says nuh-hun - he said "transportation" and cars in LA are transportation.

    Except I only ever stated that there are reasons to spoof caller ID numbers. Nothing about the regulation. Again. Only as a reply to one person making a blanket statement that was factually wrong.

    yeah - you understood another person was replying? that's why you quoted one post yet replied to another? the only idiot here is you buddy.

    That person was attacking a comment I made to another comment. I quoted exactly what I was replying to. Multiple times. Again. I was not discussing the regulation. Not once. Show me the quote where I do and I will stand corrected. I simply told a person they were wrong and pointed to why that was the case and then defended myself against people being fucking tools.

    I said nothing about the regulation. Only his statement that there is no reason to mask or spoof caller ID. The regulation has nothing to do with that statement. The statement was wrong and I showed exactly why a company may have a legitimate need to do it. Take you AC ass back to Fucksville, Mexico.
