Speaking of focus groups and since this is a frugal living group the
local craigslist jobs often have them under the "ETC" category. Even if
you do not qualify they will keep you on file and contact you down the
road. I have been spoiled by enough decent paying ones that I will not
do any for less than $75 an hour.
Also, they over book so two times I was sent home with a check without
participating. Once I arrived 15 minutes early , had the sandwiches and
coffee that they offered and was sent home. The receptionist apologized.
I told her anytime that she wanted to pay me $100 to eat some food and
leave I would be happy to oblige.
Getting back to telemarketers the only surveys I will do are public
opinion polls and I hang up if they turn out to be push polls. When it
is a consumer survey I ask if I will be paid. When they sat "no" I ask
if the caller is being paid and if the survey firm is being paid. I then
politely tell them that I see no reason to donate my time to a for
profit endeavor.

Bad analogy.

YOU were not the one who took the newspaper job, so YOU were not responsible for
its proper fulfillment.

OTOH, the telemarketer IS the one responsible for the proper fulfillment of his
job. It would only take a simple question and a minute or 2 of listening during
the job interview to determine whether the employer was properly screening the
call list.

Wrong again! EVERYBODY has the option of leaving their jobs! It may be a
difficult decision to leave what is perceived to be the "only" available job
because of improprieties or illegalities, but the option still exists. A
telemarketer who continues to work under those conditions is as responsible as
his employer.

BS!

I cannot believe that "anybody" who really WANTS to get a job cannot get one
that is sought after by an illegal immigrant. More likely, "anybody" is
UNWILLING to work for the wages paid to the immigrants, legal or illegal.

I see... So you contend that as long as a telemarketer is not subject to jail
time for his illegal or improper actions on the behalf of his employer, it's OK
to continue?

Also, are you sure that a telemarketer who KNOWINGLY makes calls to DNC list
numbers is not responsible?

It is possible, but not necessary. I submit that I can use ANY appropriate
means to "defend myself" against a criminal or agent of a criminal.

By your own logic, it is not illegal for me to "heap abuse" on the telemarketer,
so it's OK for me to do it.

Nope. I am saying that it makes more sense to prosecute the employer
to make it change its activity than to prosecute the monkey when the
employer can just get another monkey if that monkey stops doing that
work because its been prosecuted for doing that illegal activity.

Just like any operation with a clue prosecutes the drug
dealers and doesnt waste their time on the end users.

Easy to claim, hell of a lot harder to actually substantiate that claim.

Name the area and lets see if there is general agreement on your claim.

Bet there isnt.

I didnt say starter job.

So how did those manage to pay for the training that you claim is the only way to get those jobs ?

Those always have the disadvantage that the english often leaves a lot to be desired.

If you cant compete with those for decent jobs, there must be something wrong with you, like your attitudes etc.

San Francisco Bay Area, central Contra Costa County, and I speak of the
experiences of four children and a number of acquaintances.

ROTFL!!!!

The last two people who called me with surveys were (a) someone who was
calling from Nielsen (sp? the people who do tv program ratings) and
when they said that, I told them that we don't do network TV so I might
not be able to answer their survey, and they insisted that it didn't
matter that I didn't do network TV, so I said okay, and the first
question was what TV network did I watch most often, and (b) someone
calling from some market research survey place asking if I would take a
survey, and I answered, as I always do, that I will do it unless it's a
political survey, because I had to conduct too many manipulative and
deceptive political surveys during my short stint during my younger
years, and they insisted it was not a political survey, so I agreed to
do the survey, and the first question was how I felt about how the
President was doing his job, to which I replied that I was sorry, but
that was, too, a political survey and as I had already said, I would not
participate in a political survey.

I have known people who were in desperate circumstances and had very few
work options and who were not lazy and/or st&pid. And no, not everybody
has the option of leaving their job. If you were a single parent with
several children, you wouldn't want your children to starve or to be
kicked out of the apartment that was so difficult to acquire because you
are a single parent with several children, and so leaving a lousy job
would not really be an option. I mean, sure you could quit, but at the
cost of your children suffering? If you were a good parent, flat-out
quitting would not be an option.

Many, if not most, telemarketing companies have war dialers so you just
pick up the phone to talk to the next person. At least, all the ones I
have heard of do.

About the same time you spent your entire 'life' with your dick in your hand.

Many jobs cant be outsourced. Pizzas are just a tad cold when they come from India or Mexico.

That $300 has nothing to do with universal health care.

Any modern first world economy is always about a hell of a lot more than just manufacturing goods.

It isnt even possible to fix all the world's problems with $300 per taxpayer, stupid.

Any modern first world economy is always about a hell of a lot more than just goods.

More fool you. Nothing like the roman empire before its collapse.

And the modern first world aint about to collapse like the roman empire did either.

Its actually the alternatives that have been collapsing very spectacularly indeed, stupid.

The lower income group will likely spend it immediately, thinking it's a
gift which is excellent for stimulating buying / demand.

The upper income groups will simply save the money or pay down debt (as
a clear majority did with GW's 2001 tax rebate) which has minimal / no
effect at improving the economy / increasing demand.

All of which adds to an already record deficit.

A little vitamin D and a few extra lights (well, a lot of extra lights)
seems much more affordable than pulling up roots and moving to the land
of hurricanes.

Just how much would it cost to cover the ceiling of a room with
fluorescent fixtures filled with sunlight tubes? Say you've got
a small bedroom you use as an office, den, knitting room or the
like and it's 10x12 ft. Four tube 2x4 foot ceiling fixtures can
be had for $40. They could be arranged in a 5 x 3 grid to cover
the ceiling for a total of 15 fixtures, $600. 6200K full spectrum
T12 tubes cost about $11 each, though perhaps less in full cases.
This room would need 60 tubes for a total of $660.

Total cost, about $1260 plus something for the electrician to
install. I don't know what electricians cost but I would hazard
a guess that the entire thing would come in less than $2K. This
is probably much less than the cost to move to another state.

How much would it cost to run? 60 tubes at 40W each (roughly)
would be 2.4kW. Perhaps one would need a window fan to keep
things cool. A quick web search found me websites that claim
less than one hour of light therapy a day will work for most
people. If electricity costs 10 cents/kWh this would come out
to 24 cents a day.

Perhaps the cost could be reduced by doing the majority of the
installation yourself, finding surplus fixtures and using a mix
of UV, blue and ordinary fluorescent tubes in place of the special
sunlight versions. It could help keep you tan in the winter. :)

With condos it's quite likely that Skeet lives next door so you
would still be able to step out the back door and shoot Skeet.

I agree that dreaming of a condo is setting ones sights a little
low. I prefer to dream of an entire evil empire AND a condo.

Cindy, replying to spammers just encourages them. Better to set your
filters to avoid gmail addresses, and never quote their message
including the website they want to promote.

Good example.

I was SHOCKED to hear our idiot President to publicly state that
consumers should SPEND - SPEND - SPEND shortly after 9/11.

That is when I realized we had an idiot in the White House.

The sub prime crash is proving this opinion to be correct.

The next check you get from Washington in their latest quick fix
should be saved ....when you are thrown out of your house you will
need that money for food.

Why don't you invest in a car charger or one of those emergency
cellphone batteries? Nothing wrong with keeping the phone charged up in
the car. It is possible to let a LiIon battery become so discharged that
it won't recharge. In general batteries last longer if they are kept up.

Many undocumented workers (without a SSSN) are paying money into the
system that they will never be able to recover, since they are using a
forged or stolen SSN. How is that not paying taxes? When an
undocumented worker purchases a refrigerator, furniture, clothing,
etc, he or she pays sales tax just like you or I would. In what way
is that not paying taxes?

Some immigrants are offered the opportunity to serve this country and
eventually get the necessary papers to remain here after they have
served in the military.

How far do you intend to ride on the coattails of your father and his
father? If you haven't stepped up to the plate and offered to give
YOUR life for this country, where on earth do you get the balls to
criticize others?

Are you sick of hearing from your investment broker things like,
"don't worry, the market will bounce back", or " this is a sure thing"
only to find out that it was actually a 'pump and dump' and you were
left holding the bag.

You have options. Our partners have been receiving above average
returns on their investments consistently month after month, and our
member numbers continue to grow because of it.

Our structure allows smaller investors to become involved and receive
the same gains that our larger investment Partners have been achieving
for years. Investments can be as small as $100 to a maximum for new
partners of $3,500. Our program is extremely simple. You invest
once, and we continue to pay you a GUARANTEED RETURN OF 10% PER MONTH
on that investment for as long as you are with us.

For example:
You invest the minimum $100 and we pay you $10 interest per month for
life.
or
You invest the maximum $3,500 and we pay you $350 interest per month
for life.

And, unlike mutual fund managers and stock brokers, we invest our
capital along with you, therefore, we have a vested interest in
achieving the best possible return on investment.

TESTIMONIALS WE HAVE RECEIVED ABOUT JMCAPITALPARTNERS.COM

"I was on the web looking for a more consistent investment, when I
came across your site ( www.jmcapitalpartners.com ). Your guaranteed
return of 10% per month intrigued me, so I decided to give you a
