"I can't tell you how great it felt to tell those asshats exactly what I thought of them!

In some parts of the country other than Florida, or in some parts of the country other the area of Florida where the poster is from, this would be considered rude.

Highlight:

Today I received a call from the NRA, they wanted me to take a poll. [View all] DrewFlorida Jul 2013 OP

You're killing the messenger, but that's how it goes sometimes. Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #1

What would you have said? CaliforniaPeggy Jul 2013 #2

If you hate the NRA, tell them directly! Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #23

Are you sure about that? The "telemarketer" may well be a paid volunteer of the NRA who is willing madinmaryland Jul 2013 #26

Scream at them, just in case... Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #48

Where did I say be rude to them. There is nothing wrong with telling the paid shills calling from madinmaryland Jul 2013 #51

Read the OP. If you think that kind of behavior is acceptable, we strongly agree. Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #52

I'm confused. I thought you were condemning that behavior and now you agree with it? madinmaryland Jul 2013 #53

yeah. Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #54

When my MS progressed to the point that I could not work as a nurse Mojorabbit Jul 2013 #70

Enough with the assumption that I "Killed the Messenger"! DrewFlorida Jul 2013 #9

"I never once attacked or insulted the caller." Lizzie Poppet Jul 2013 #16

Maybe he meant, "never once" = more than once. AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #43

Oh, good point! Lizzie Poppet Jul 2013 #44

.. Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #24

Maybe it's time that "messenger" got another job working for someone else. rdharma Jul 2013 #28

YOU get to decide that? Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #50

Yes! I get to tell the "paid messenger" my opinion. rdharma Jul 2013 #55

That was not what you said. At all. Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #57

Oh? That's EXACTLY what I said! rdharma Jul 2013 #59

You have now been introduced to that poster. CokeMachine Jul 2013 #61

Met this one before elsewhere. Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #62

You know then!! CokeMachine Jul 2013 #69

Bwahahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahhahahahhaha. 99Forever Jul 2013 #64

Some hourly temp working for a telemarketer. Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #68

Wow, you screamed at a minimum wage telemarketer, how courageous of you DonP Jul 2013 #3

A bit presumptuous to suggest that I screamed at anyone. DrewFlorida Jul 2013 #5

You didn't answer any questions - your words went nowhere DonP Jul 2013 #20

"Pass along feedback" rdharma Jul 2013 #30

"I ended the conversation by telling the caller to F**k off" ZombieHorde Jul 2013 #37

Maybe the "minimum wage telemarketer" is more of a paid volunteer of the NRA. madinmaryland Jul 2013 #29

If you are opposed to the NRA as you Jenoch Jul 2013 #4

You are assuming things, you know what happens when you assume something! DrewFlorida Jul 2013 #7

I didn't assume anything. Jenoch Jul 2013 #10

Excuse me, I told the person, The NRA could F off. My mistake in typing. DrewFlorida Jul 2013 #12

I still think if you would have answered the poll Jenoch Jul 2013 #13

Actually, had I had the time available to answer the poll questions I may have done that. DrewFlorida Jul 2013 #15

I believe what you said the first time. AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #46

Maybe you could edit the post to make that clear? CokeMachine Jul 2013 #60

Well, that and AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #14

That's rude? What's rude is telling the families of 20 children and 6 teachers... DrewFlorida Jul 2013 #17

See. I knew that there was an exception in Florida or the area of Florida where you are. AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #21

So you kept pro-gun-control answers out of their poll? That will help Recursion Jul 2013 #6

A Google search shows that the NRA polls its own members. AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #8

I am not an NRA member, I have never owned nor wanted to own a firearm. DrewFlorida Jul 2013 #11

Did your answers have anything to do with the question? MrSlayer Jul 2013 #18

Do you think the NRA would actually pay any attention to responses truebluegreen Jul 2013 #31

Then why bother conducting a poll at all? MrSlayer Jul 2013 #47

Thank you HockeyMom Jul 2013 #19

The NRA seems to poll its own members. If you want to give your opinion contrary to your spouse, AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #22

Interesting point HockeyMom Jul 2013 #27

They may poll their own members truebluegreen Jul 2013 #34

Don't they support background checks as much as the ACLU? AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #35

I don't know the figures for the ACLU truebluegreen Jul 2013 #39

It's easy to understand the figures for the ACLU. The ACLU is against that. AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #41

??? truebluegreen Jul 2013 #42

Yes, the ACLU is in favor of civil liberties and privacy. Imagine that. AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #45

I am totally shocked by it, truebluegreen Jul 2013 #63

ACLU AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #65

Glad to hear it. truebluegreen Jul 2013 #66

I don't know... Xyzse Jul 2013 #25

Like Ted Nugent! nt rdharma Jul 2013 #32

That's funny! Do you have a link to that? Sounds like a Ted Nugent wannabe!! madinmaryland Jul 2013 #33

Research is still in progress in Snopes Xyzse Jul 2013 #36

Oh! It's true alright! rdharma Jul 2013 #56

Or that he was a Democrat who caused George H. W. Bush to resign his NRA life membership when AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2013 #38

Not really sure Xyzse Jul 2013 #67

"Hey I got a poll right here." lpbk2713 Jul 2013 #40

A proud moment for you for sure. aikoaiko Jul 2013 #49
