I have a personal experience with Video Professor (don't ask, let's just say it doesn't involve trying to learn anything on the computer). I asked for my TWO! free videos on two separate occasions. Neither of them reached my apartment. In trying to cancel my membership (they took over a month so I called), they stated that they could not cancel it until I received my discs and could then send them back to the company. They made sure my address was correct, it was. They then extended my free viewing trial by a month each. They still didn't arrive at my apartment in the newly extended trial period. I was then subsequently charged $65 for each disc when that period was up. That adds up to $140 with the S&H for two discs I never received. It took about 6 calls to video professor to get my charges returned back to me and an upwards of 45 days from the time they charged me for the money to appear in my account. That's not to mention all the charges my bank account charged me because of that $140 I did not have in the account and then not being able to use my account for those two months.
Thanks Video Professor! Great experience! Would recommend to everyone! A++++
tl;dr
Don't defend them. Other companies with those same trial offer models were SO much easier to cancel. It seems like they were trying to get money out of me they knew they wouldn't get.
There's a huge disparity here. And it's thinkings date back to philosophy. Believe vs. Doubt. Doubt is not satisfied until there is belief. Unfortunate are those that immediately believe however. Science is doubt, taking all arguments into consideration and testing them until a belief is finally accepted. Immediate belief on the other hand...well is just that. And doesn't even bother to look at any other belief. As one philosopher put it "following the old man of the mountain into battle" without knowing what even they were fighting for.
More like Intelligent design=creationism plus evolution thrown into the mix, but not vice versa. Many Creationists do not believe in evolution, but more of them do than not. Creationism just being the idea that our universe was created by a higher power (flying spaghetti monster). I'm not so sure if the fundamentalists who refuse to accept the fact that Genesis was almost entirely ripped off from Babylonian myth and instead take it for 100% fact have a name or not. But hey, I won't throw my own viewpoints into this.
I'm 16 years old. I first saw the Star Wars movies when they were re-released in the movie theaters and I remember how great I thought they were. Then when Episode 1 was released I went to see it and was dissapointed by everything but the battle scenes. Jar-Jar Binks was not funny, the little kid sucked, the movie as a whole was nothing like the first movies. I posted this to prove that the movies have changed, not the audience.
