tell them to take your number off their call list/database.
they have to do it
they have to do it
I dont know why you are being so short sighted in this issue. If there are no demands there will be no telemarketing. If every australian stopped buying products sold through telemarketers, there will not be telemarketers. If most people boycott australian companies using telemarketers, they'll quickly stop using them.volition said:I don't agree, the fact that they do it for a living does not mean it is an acceptable practice, in much the same way that being a hitman does not justify murdering people.
I think it's wrong to go around cold-calling people and bothering them (mainly because telemarketers invade people's privacy in a very intrusive manner), and that you shouldn't support this kind of business/industry by working for them.
You're letting them hide behind this frame we have of "they're just doing what they're being told to do", but if somebody told you to steal, would you?
The fact that they wouldn't do it if it weren't profitable is not my concern.Indian Princess said:I dont know why you are being so short sighted in this issue.

Instead of vilifying people who are doing their job, get a pvt number and enjoy your privacy. Problems solved.
Thats why the government draw parallel lines between businesses and privacy concern by allowing you to have private numbers. Take advantage of it.volition said:The fact that they wouldn't do it if it weren't profitable is not my concern.
The fact that it invades people's privacy is, which is why I think it's wrong to just go around making thousands of unsolicited phone calls.
I'm not talking about whether or not it should be legal, I just think it's wrong.Indian Princess said:Thats why the government draw parallel lines between businesses and privacy concern by allowing you to have private numbers. Take advantage of it.
