Has anyone here received a phone call, usually around dinner
time, where there was nobody there?
Recently, I went to the Blockbuster I usually go to and when I
went to check out, this not-very-nice person says I can't rent
anything because my phone number is 'no longer valid.' Well, I
begin telling her that I removed my land line service and was
only using my cell phone and I was not going to give her my cell
phone number. Well she starts on about how they need a
number and I realize that it had only been 4 days since my
turning off service! I then interrupt her blabbering and ask her
loudly and forcibly, how did they know my phone had been
disconnected so soon after the fact. I then asked if Blockbuster
was one of the companies that used robots to call people in the
evening, just to see if the phone number works. She then
looked down at the floor and said she don't really know about
that. I told her Blockbuster could kiss my ass and that I would
just go to one of the many other Blockbuster outlets and ask
about it.
So, I go to this other Blockbuster and get the same DVD and go
check out like normal. Well, this guy checks me out no problem,
so no I'm confused...
So, after several weeks of going to this Blockbuster, I go just the
other day, go ring up, and goddamnit if it's not the same bitch
from the other store telling me my phone number's not valid! She
remembers me the same time I remember her and I start going
off on the whole robot phone call thing and I'm not giving her
my number and apparently she was the only one that
cared about it anyway. She says she's filling in for the manager
for two weeks, and she let me check out w/o a phone number,
but when the manager returns she'll ask about it.
So, long story short, I hate those fnck!ng robot phone callers
and that's why I disconnected my phone. And I have found out
some of the reason why they do it. The robots call every few
days to make sure you are still there.

You say Capitalism is a great theory, then you suggest 'avoid credit like the plague.' Obviously, you don't understand Capitalism at all! (Scenario: "I'll just keep working at McDonald's because 2TecTom thinks student loans are evil")
Have you ever heard of 'subjectivism?' It means that your tastes don't necessarily match my tastes. "simply don't buy crap" I'm guessing what I like, you think is crap, and I'm sure a few of your favorite things would float right to the top of my turd tank.
Also, I don't find a system that allows me to have all my music available in any room in my house at the touch of a button a "manipulative and meaningless device." THANK YOU APPLE for giving me a toy right out of science fiction! I'm living in my childhood fantasy! Music is so important to me!
PS. I'm not part of the 'elite' I'm a middle class home owner who grew up dirt poor in rural Georgia. By working hard and managing my credit wisely I've managed to pull myself out of that state and have a comfortable life. I would like to and plan to be more successful financially, but realize it will take planning, time, and most of all HARD WORK!
You must really hate being poor. How sad, you should go get a credit card... do it... sign the form....you know you want to you know you love that new iPod, it's soooooooo shiny loser
Hey, that's ok. The point is discussion, not evangelizing.
The 'company' is the Alabama Department of Transportation, which I'm sure gets tax money from the state, and those Alabamians are already poor enough!
It just really gets me ticked to see tax payer money being wasted. It seems so much of what I make goes to the gov. and so little comes back, as most of it goes down the toilet.
Also, I believe under the 'rules' of the AL DOT, playing solitaire all day is considered 'misuse'
I guess, if anything, firing the guy is too harsh, if he stepped out of bounds, he should be reprimanded, at least the first time.

So, what do you think misuse is and how would you go about discovering it?
If it were a private company, you might be right, upper management would have the say, but this is a government agency, that is using taxpayer money. I think of this guy as a hero of the people. This kind of wasteful behavior needs to stop. If all this so called 'boss' has to do is play solitare all day, then his position needs to be ELIMINATED!
The salaries of most government positions is public knowledge, btw.
Your 'Murder is Wrong' thing is stupid.
Absolutely a definition of wrong is proof enough.
Unless you rather argue the concept of wrong itself,
murder is wrong because of what wrong means.
Or perhaps the use of the English Language is off-limits in your little game, too.
I imagine that one day there will be thousands of these robots constantly monitoring the ocean's vitals...
I imagine them being rechargable on their own, too.
What if they were covered with solar panels and when the battery went dead it would float to the top and recharge on sunlight...

There are fewer than 48 hours left to make your last direct contribution to the Kerry-Edwards campaign.
In the months ahead, we'll be looking to you to support the Democratic Party as it pulls John Kerry, John Edwards, and other Democratic candidates through to victory in the general election. But in the next 48 hours, you and I have one vitally important piece of business to take care of.
Hundreds of thousands of you have come together to break all fundraising records. George Bush, Dick Cheney, the pundits, and the media thought we would be overwhelmed by the Republicans' enormous bankroll. You proved them wrong. Because of you, we are about to enter this general election stronger than any Democrat in history.
In the next 48 hours, we have to finish off this phase of our campaign with as strong a showing as possible. The media will report our final fundraising numbers as a sign of our ability to win this election. Make a contribution by visiting:
In March, you gave us the first push, launching our campaign against George Bush; in April, May, and June, you kept our momentum going. We've beaten his fundraising four months in a row. Think about that accomplishment: we beat the biggest, big money fundraiser in history with the power of our grassroots. But our work is not done; we need to finish strong.
One last thing: I need you to forward this email to your friends and family who care about the future of this country. Ask them to contribute before our deadline. A strong showing now will make all the difference on Election Day.
South Korea's commitment to broadband might explain why I keep seeing addresses there when I do a WHOIS on the servers sending me SPAM. I've suggested to my ISP that they block ALL mail coming from South Korea.
A lawyer cannot initiate a class action suit without a plaintiff(s). If a plaintiff comes to a lawyer, and if that lawyer believes that the plaintiff has a case, he will file suit. If a company screwed you over, wouldn't you want to do the same?
There are many more lawsuits that get thrown out and the lawyer doesn't make anything and his time is wasted.
Also, if you are a member of the class, and you don't agree with the lawsuit, then opt out.
However, I do think there should be a cap on how much a lawyer/firm can make on a class-action. And I agree that law firms take way too much of settlements and judgements.
