Your take: Should we legalize murder if there are extenuating circumstances?

Question

In this instance; the pemanent cure for all telemarketers.

For those espousing the Do Not Call list, businesses are not eligible. This takes into account the 4 cold calls, 2 fraud calls saying someone requested them to call and the 2 salespeople that walked past the sign that says 'Solicitations are by appointment only'.

Answer 1

Yes. We keep having problems with pedophiles who've been released after serving their terms, and then repeat their offenses. I'm pretty sure society would save itself a lot, if we just made justifiable homicide for the fathers of the victims.

Telemarkets should go to the same hell as people who chew food while they're talking on the phone.

Answer 2

No! They are a major source of amusement:

The deaf guy scenario: You just keep asking them to speak up; and you 'misunderstand' what they've said "So the credit card is free and you don't have to pay the money back?"

The dead guy scenario: When they ask for you by name, you say "who is calling?" and then when they say such and such company, you get all emotional and say "How can you call asking for my father when he's only been dead three days? Don't you know we're in the middle of his funeral here? How heartless can you be?" And then sob.

The idiot scenario: Whatever the telemarketer says, you just say "What are you, an idiot?" and as they persist "Even your mother thinks you're an idiot" and "If you weren't such and idiot, you could get a decent job" - this one can run and run, depending on how insistent/annoyed they get!

There are so many other ways to amuse yourself with a telemarketer. Why would you want to kill them!

Answer 3

look up under search for your states "no call list" once you put your phone number on list it takes about a month and you will be done with the tela want to be's. It really does work and if by chance a persistent no speaky english hybrid wants to keep calling you go back to the site and file a complaint.
The only reason I didn't say yes shoot them is because once the telmarketers are thinned down what would be next on the list to hunt out. Rude drivers, old people, etc...

Answer 4

Amy....I think you're onto something! I wouldn't take it that far but understanding your sense of humor... at least using a device on the telephone where you can send a 50k volt of electrical charge to the caller for being a persistant and annoying pissant!

I think doorknobs should have the same accessory where door to door salesmen can get their fill of electroshock therapy!

I may just hire Macaulay Culkin to boobytrap my house like in Home Alone!

Answer 5

Or, you could just be an adult and answer the phone and tell them not to call you anymore if you aren't interested in what they have to offer. They are legally obligated to comply.

The thing that gets me about people who whine about telemarketers is that they don't seem to whine about TV commercials.... yet they accomplish the same thing. Don't like your phone ringing? Turn the ringer off. Don't want to talk to a telemarketer? Ask them not to call anymore.

Answer 6

I hate telemarketers but I guess they have to gey paid too. LOL that was funny but people would definitly take agvantage. Like people in Houston that can't drive in the rain! like it never rains in Houston

Answer 7

Not really, there's no good reason for taking someone else's life away, unless it's revenge for a murdered love one or if they get the death penalty, (although, that's not really murder). Also in the case of telemarketers....go for it! (lol...)

Answer 8

Boy do I have a list I would like to include in this. Remember if it is legal it is not murder.

Answer 9

You mean like I cant stand a neighbor and she is a big inconvenience to me so I should be able to take her out - no really, she would be better off dead anyway........right?

Answer 10

I think caller ID is more humane solution.
