	Should telemarketers be tortured and killed? Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

I hate these people. I'm on the verge of yelling a stream of obscenities at them when they call. I don't have the time to waste answering the phone for these scum. I've never bought anything from any of them, yet they persist in calling.

So if the soldier commits a war crime 'under orders', he is exempt from punishment?

That's the same... really it is.

My friend and my ex stepdad have both done telemarketing. A job is a job.

	Tired of ads?

I got a call at 10pm the other night from SBC!

9pm on a Saturday once too... Made me feel really bad that I was at home

I ussually just tell them that mommy isn't home, then I get really scared telling them I shouldn't of said that, then I ask them 'did you hear that', when they say "what?", I scream "oh, my god!" and hang up...

They never call back... they don't seem to care... they should die.

Beat me to it.

I just got another one:

"Hello [name cribbed from phonebook, which is the name on our bill and isn't mine or my wife's] I am calling from....."

Agathon: "Is this telemarketing?"

"No, we are......"

Agathon: "It sounds like you are trying to sell me ****"

"We aren't trying to sell you anything"

Agathon: "Why are you calling then?"

"We want to tell you about this deal...."

Agathon: "**** off!" [slams phone down]

Yeah, asking them if they are trying to sell something never works...

The best in when the sheriff/police call asking for money for some very worthy cause, but because you are cheap, shrewd, or just evil you don't want to give them anything.

"Hello, this Deputy Rameriz calling with Santa Clara Sheriff's ofice, how are you today."

'uh?"
-sounds like they're on to you

"We were wondering if you would like to make a donation to our fund raiser to help 'children without parents and debilitating diseases that don't have long to live and just want to play with a kitten for an hour or two fund'"

'Uh?"

"It is a really worthy cause."

"Who is this"

"Deputy Rameriz"

"Are you a cop"

"Yes"

"Oh I hate you pigs!"



Gives you bad Karma, but it's fun!

Or; the drowning grandpa is very fun too

Meh. The First Purge will involve spammers...the second AOLiens...the third, sleazy corporate heads...telelmarketers will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. For example, if they repeatedly call you about florida vacation **** when you live ten miles from Disneyland, they will be tortued and then executed.
