Re: the Great Gun Control Debate, I received an email today from a help-qa.com user, and I will reply to it, keeping everything as short as possible .

Snopes is thoroughly discredited as a fact checking site. The founder is being divorced by his wife for cheating and there are allegations of embezzlement--and it has now been taken over by corporate interests.

Very high turnover in phone sales too. Just know they already hate you before they pick up their phone. If you can keep them on the phone PAST 15 seconds you might have a 50/50 chance to get them to cooperate with your canned sales pitch.

Keep in mind, most sales calls are made 2-3 times to the same household. If they hang up on you within that first 15 seconds, the angrier they will be for the second and third phone call. And you are not told if that number was tried by a coworker just days sometimes minutes before.

Cold calling is dead. As Soco astutely notes, people hate you before they even pick up the phone.

I installed a device on my stateside phone that stops robocallers dead--and just about all telemarketing firms use robocallers. When a robocall comes in, my device asks it to punch in a number on the keypad. But since the robocalling computer cannot understand or act on commands like that, it doesn't punch in the number and gets hung up on. In one year my device stopped over 2,000 robocalls--or about six a day! I did not have to get up from the supper table or the couch to answer a telemarketer's call!

There was another shooting at a high-school this morning.WTF?!!

Soco--how many of those deaths from guns were in the inner cities where gangs are having continual turf wars?

How's this for just Chicago:

Year to Date
Shot & Killed: 91
Shot & Wounded: 398
Total Shot: 489
Total Homicides: 111

And suicides:

All suicides

Number of deaths: 44,193
Deaths per 100,000 population: 13.7
Cause of death rank: 10

Firearm suicides

Number of deaths: 22,018
Deaths per 100,000 population: 6.7

Do you think our suicide rate might go down if we fixed our health care system so it didn't wipe out middle class people financially? I do!

Ah. Louis Farrakhan, and I quote:

"They call them [Hezbollah] terrorists, I call them freedom fighters...No one asks why they would do such a thing. Why would they do such a thing? What has driven them to this point? That's what the UN, the U.S. and Europe doesn't want to deal with because the Zionists have control in England, in Europe, in the United States and around the world."

Speech at the District Council 33 Union Hall,
Philadelphia, PA, 4/22/96

“I don’t know what the hell the fight is about over the Confederate flag. We need to put the American flag down. Because we’ve caught as much hell under that as the Confederate flag. Who are we fighting today? It’s the people that carry the American flag.” -- Louis Farrakhan in 2015.

"America will never be made great again. Her days of greatness are over. The God of justice has come." -- Louis Farrakhan in 2017.

Do you think that if the NRA leadership had ties to David Duke, the former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, and the NRA leadership refused to renounce ties to Duke and the Klan, that there would not be a media firestorm over it? Yet the Women's March does not renounce ties with Louis Farrakhan, and the media doesn't say squat about it!

"Rev. Louis Farrakhan gave a Saviours’ Day 2018 Address on Sunday in which he declared that "the powerful Jews are my enemy," and "white folks are going down."

So let me get this straight: the Women's March is supporting the "March for Our Lives" movement, which is calling not only for gun control but gun confiscation, and the Women's March is also supporting Louis Farrakhan, who warns that "white folks are going down," and Leftists want me to give up my guns? Really? Seriously? So we see that the gun control movement is allied with the Black Supremacist movement--and I am being told I am going down--and you want me to help you with that by giving up my guns?

I don't think so!

Do you people who want gun control--don't you see what is going on and why we are going to oppose you with our last breath? We are NOT going to acquiesce in our own demise! We are not going to turn over our guns and meekly load ourselves into those boxcars. We are NOT going to gently go into that night!

We will work with you on crime control, suicides, school security, etc., etc., but we will not be partners in our own destruction.

i told my partner of five years that we needed to talk

There is a word for guys like that: loser.

Every day that you stay diminishes you further-- whittling down your self esteem.

He does not deserve you.

I do not see a future for him with anyone. He is simply a loser.

Boiler rooms. That is how they are described.

Run, do not walk, away.

Of all the jobs on earth, telemarketing sucks the most.

Post closed.

I despise Planned Parenthood, because it pushes abortions (a huge revenue generator). But I see overpopulation as strangling our planet.

The more overcrowded we become, the less value that will be placed on human life.

Can you imagine a world with 100 billion people? I surely do not want to!

You know war is inevitable when that happens.

I have been ill for over a week now.

Glad you have recovered!

I was in Alberta and Saskatchewam week ago, in the cold (-25 Celsius) and strong winds. Was not feeling well out there. Just finished 300 pages of reports!
