👿 Yours is not to question the will of the EMPIRE er GOVERNMENT but to obey said GOVERNMENT. If they can starve a woman who isn't braindead they can charge what the want for telcommunications taxes REMEMBER OBEY 😈

WHAT???? What the heck is that supposed to mean, and how is it even close to relevant to this thread?

Dang, never mind. I'm too tired, didn't realize I clicked into the wrong thread! A thousand apologies (okay, not a thousand. but three or four.)

Basically, he's complaining about the taxes, and throwing a complaint about that Schaivo chick in in the process... 🙄

😁 That's why I like you coldsteel you understand me!

Que hortera

She is brain dead. She has been in a vegetative state for the past 15 years. Numerous scans have show her brain to be partially liquid including the part that controls pain. This means that it cannot regenerate so she is not going to get better.

Ignoring this and pretending that she's completely coherent and just unable to communicate and control her body... do you think she enjoys living as a piece of furniture? Would you?

It's horrible that she has to starve to death because of the anti assisted suicide laws but I don't think it would be a stretch to say that most everyone would prefer a weeks worth of pain (argumentative) over years of suffering as a vegetable.

I hope she's put to rest soon.


And to quell tho...

👿 On the one hand I am appalled that the courts can decide on such matters rather than letting her parents take care of her as they are willing to do. On the other hand and I'm probably going to get rapped in the mouth for this, but I'm a Sith Lord and don't care this woman wouldn't be in the sorry state she's in now if she hadn't been a bolimic, I despise bolimics and people with anorexia as weak and stupid and Ms Schivao is only getting what she apparently wanted a slow painful death. Do I agree with how they're diong it? To have an armed guard in her room to make sure her parents don't even give her a thimble of water sounds like something from a death camp in WWII, but she was the one who kept sticking her finger down her throat unt...

WHOA!! while I agree that this isn't the appropriate place for talk on the Schaivo case (let the poor woman die for pete's sake), was the EXTREME emphasis neccessary?

Can't we all just disagree calmly? 😁

It doesnt work that way here. Rich Brome would agree. If he saw this here, he would ask it to be moved as well.

If there is a need to talk about the Shiavo Case, please take it to the lounge. I do not like wasting my time by searching through unrelated matters to find useful information.

I've been here for a while, and yes I know Rich would do the same thing. Hell I've done it too on many occasions. (I'm also bad about yelling at people for tryin to sell stuff, as the T&C of the site clearly states it's not to be used for commerce). But it's just simple net ettiquette. Calmly first...if they're asses about it then yell to your heart's content.

I will take your opinion into consideration.

that's all I ask 😁

isn't talking about this issue being unrelated to cell phones also unrelated to cell phones??

This forum is not just about Cell phones. It is about Cingular in general.

😡 Actually it's showing how the govt and Cingular screw us in their own little ways...little man 😈

Blast! Can't I go anywhere without hearing about her?!?! Thank God it should be over within the week. I'm sure she's thanking Him also.

😡 I agree.

Yeah, it should be the same with any carrier within the same region. It's state and federal taxes, as well as those lovely governmentally instituted fees.

Anybody feel up to a discussion about what those "fees" go to?

Not unless you want to start a HUGE argument.

Eh, it'd be an arguement against the government so I doubt anyone would be personally offended. I heard once that the "Universal Service Fund" was to give Native Americans landline service. I doubt that, but it's a better theory than I've heard so far. 🙂

The Federal Universal Service Fund (USF) provides telecommunications and information services to schools, libraries and rural health care facilities. It also helps subsidize local service to high-cost areas and low-income households. Among other things I'm sure...

👿 That fund is not federally imposed though!!!

It is federally imposed and is limited on the maximum amount that can be levied (Changes every quarter). 😲 😳 😲

😉 You're right CSP just confirmed it. The regulatory cost recovery fee is trhe fee that is not federaly imposed!!!

You know some jerk would come alonmg and think that we were bashing Cingular or something, so its not worth it. I hate those forums that last a whole webpage. Like the Nextel18 thread...

Good point... DONE I guess...?

I will consider it DONE. But be advised, I dont like it.

It doesnt EVER end... In the future, you will be taxed for oxygen!

😳 I believe it.

😈 Alas the days of Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson are over. They would be considerdd terrorist today!! And politically incorrect 😉

I'm with ya on the paycheck thing....I got a raise in Jan. and I'm actually takin home LESS than I was before thanks to taxes. I get my regular b*tch slap every other Friday, get bent over and f-ed senseless the 20th of every month (commission's taxed like 26%, then medicare state). It's a wonder I can even pay my bills. God help me if I were a COR employee with the union dues and all that crap.

I didn't even get to cast my useless vote this past year cause I was in here bustin my ass ALONE, like I do everyday. 👿

You never know. I heard that when they receive 7 letters/calls/emails on the same subject they consider it a lot and actually look into it. If more people actually get angry and do stuff, either the congressman would be voted out or he would follow the people he was voted to represent to keep his job.
