    I've done that, depends on whether I feel like wasting my time to waste theirs :)

  3. Let's not forget people are SICK AND TIRED of sales and poll-calls.

    Some of us purpposefully LIE to you people and waste your time when we have the time to do so.

    Make the calls a waste of the callers' time and money and that will help get the point across.

  10. Re:I do not consent on FDA Bans Trans Fat · · Score: 1

    People have lived fine with "bad" foods. We have people over 90, even over 100. These bans are stupid and skirt on unconstitutional.

  11. Re:I do not consent on FDA Bans Trans Fat · · Score: 1

    That was my point. They even banned alcohol at one point and reversed it when they realized how stupid it was.

  12. Re:FYI on FDA Bans Trans Fat · · Score: 1

    Well how are humans supposed to evolve to biologically produce this enzyme if the "People who know what's good for you" make that decision for everyone else?

    Not to mention, if we're going to ban things that are bad for us, where is the ban on all tobacco and alcohol?

  14. Well on Should Edward Snowden Trust Apple To Do the Right Thing? · · Score: 1

    We can only judge them on what we know they have done and are doing, not on what they MIGHT do in the future or don't know they are doing.

  16. Heck, if the patent has expired, that's big plus from a "do what you want with it" front...

  17. Why? MP3 works fine, and most of us have hearing so damaged they can't tell the different between a 192+ MP3 and the CD it was ripped from.
