Sometimes people genuinely have no option.
And you should wind your neck in, because quite frankly you're talking out of your arse.

In that case they should become thieves.
Because at least then they are making the money for themselves and not some pond scum.
Calling people unsolicited and pestering them is demanding money with menaces and the lowest of the low.
If you care about the people in these jobs then sort out some social care -- do not make excuses for slave labour in places that attempt to rob people.

Bloody hell.
Don't go into a battle of wits if you aren't fully armed. Thieves steal, hurt, sometimes maim and occasionally kill people. People who work in an outbound call centre sit at a desk reading from a script. There is a massive, massive difference. They are just doing a job, and pretty much all of them want to escape to something better. As a parting shot, they certainly don't need to hear opinions from jumped up little spitbubs like yourself about how they're worse than AIDS or something.

Yes they do need to hear that.
There is no reason at all for telesales to exist and they cause widespread annoyance and, to some people, stress.
When some cunt calls you for no reason other than to pester you into parting with money for something you don't want and never expressed an interest in it causes stress and annoyance.
I would much rather support people on the dole than have such a shitty and pointless profession exist.
It may not actually be up there with theft -- but it's certainly a form of coercion and it is most certainly something society would be better off without.
You can poke fun at me all you like with comments about "battle of wits" but you cannot make any moral or logical argument for the existence of such an immoral profession.

No, they don't.
Your attitude and behaviour makes you as bad as the people you claim to despise. Telesales have unfortunately become a necessary evil, and in some cases prove to be quite a useful marketing and sales tool. And some people do agree to be on these lists. All it takes is a little politeness if the call is unwanted however. There is no need to fly off the handle and act like Little Lord Fauntleroy. We are after all (in most cases) human.

There is no fucking need for them.
When I'm sitting at home after a hard day at work I do not want some cunt ringing me up attempting to sell me something I have no fucking interest in.
My attitude is simple: I don't go out of my way to piss anyone else off and I expect the same in return. If you chose to piss me off I'll be a cunt back.
I do not expect anyone to piss me off for money.

Well put yourself on TPS and have done with it then.
Rocket surgery it ain't.
