Up here in the great white north known as Canada, I have seen deadbeats claim Social Insurance. They do nothing to contribte to society, they just wait for 'check day' to pay the rent, and blow the rest on beer and drugs only to be broke in a day or two until the next month*. My taxes go towards paying them. Is that right? I think not. Is it the same in the states? If one day I need to do the same, rest assured it will NOT be wasted on beer and drugs. I have paid into this for many years. I would just want something back from all the $$$ I had deducted from my pay should I ever need it. Tom the Canuck. * Do they eat food? Utilities? I do not know and do not want to.. What they do for the rest of the month is beyond me.

Good idea. What about those telemarketing companies that sell worthless products from Canada to the US? There is a telemarketing company in the building where I worked. Being a smoker, I got to know a few of the frequently replaced telemarketing sales staff. The company in question sells a 'directory' of businesses in the states. While smoking, I asked one of the sales people what the product they were selling was good for. The reply was toilet paper. I would tend to agree. I believe there were several complaints to the attorney general of a particular state(s) and I had a smile on my face when the local police raided their place of business. Too bad they were back up and running the very next week. How can we stop these assholes? It puts a bad name on Canada. I feel ashamed that they can operate freely here. Tom the Canuck.

Lots of wires and switches. Is there any need for an RF ignition system? It could cost a few more $$$ but you eliminate the long run of wires from the panel to the pyro items you want to ignite. A secure comm protocol would prevent ignition by 'outside' sources. A laptop could be added to control the timing of events.to be fired. A simple User Interface to make it moron proof.

We are all human and live on this tiny blue marble called Earth. {yes there are assholes in every group, even yours, ignore them, I do} Let us judge by what a person does, not where they come from. Does it matter? If you contribute to our "society" (needs improvement) they are fine, if they live off the labours of others I object. Perhaps we should adopt the thinking that we are all one people on this planet. Are you going to blast me because my parents came from Estonia? (If you don't know where it is, look it up) Ignorance and prejudice are rampant on our planet. Can we not do better? What about your "equality and liberty for all" in your constitution? Did that include owning slaves from Africa? Open your eyes, see the world for what it is, embrace other ideas from other cultures and learn from them. Tunnel vision is a downfall for the existence of mankind. This is what I think, you may thing otherwise. I can not stop you from thinking the way that you do, you can not stop me from thinking my way. Tom the Canuck.

I have never had one wait beyond > the initial getting the hearing aid. Sometimes I let them get all the way through their spiel, then I tell them that it really sounds great and that if I ever get well enough to go back to work, I might be able to buy it It really pisses them off. ;-) Other times I just tell them right away that I am 100% disabled, and in too much pain to put up with them. Of course, being on the national "Do not call list" stopped almost all of those irritating calls. The only problem I have is some deadbeat is, or has given out my phone number when they bought crap on credit. I keep a list of these calls and if I get a second call from a company I scream at them while demanding that they leave me alone, or I will have a lawyer on their ass for trying to collect someone else's debt from me. The only ones too stupid to listen was "Countrywide" which was some kind of mortgage or lending company who had someone different call each time, from different phone numbers. They finally left a message on my answering machine with an "800" number stating that it was an emergency, but didn't identify themselves. It was their headquarters, and I really tore into them, informing them that I had repeatedly told their phone monkeys they had the wrong phone number, that I was a 100% disabled veteran, and that I was not going to put up with even one more phone call. I laughed and told them that if I did get one, that I would call friends at a TV station to have their local office investigated by their news department for violating a lot of different laws, and that I was going to turn over my hand written logs of all of their calls, along with their misleading telephone message. I asked what they thought that would do to their business in the area, just before I hung up my phone. I never heard from them again. :) -- Service to my country?

Nothing worked with this woman. She was insistent that I just HAD to have my central air conditioning "Tuned up", even after I told her repeatedly I didn't have central air, or even a window air conditioner. Finally, I asked her how many incoming phone lines they had, then I told them that if I got one more call from them that I would contact everyone I knew to have them call and pretend to be interested in their repair services or to buy a new system, then give them fake addresses, or just keep the phone lines tied up to prevent real customers from being able to reach them. I was informed by her that it was harassment, but I just laughed and asked how they would know which calls were real, from the others. I asked why I should return the harassment I had received from her all week long. She never called me again. -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it.
