What's the definition?[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#33)
by Anonymous User on Fri Jul 18, 2008 at 06:49:39 AM PDT

... of "companies that you are currently doing business with"? If you make a purchase from a retail company, how can you define whether it's a one-time purchase so that there's no ongoing relationship, vs. the first in many upcoming transactions? Businesses need to know clearly when they're obeying and when they're breaking the law, so 18 months was selected as a reasonable balance point.

You have the right to be close-minded and not listen to charities and political campaigns; you don't have the right to prevent others from exercising their free-speech rights to talk into a dead line after you've hung up.

There is no constitutional right not to be offended, though some people seem to forget that. Being offended is (perhaps) a violation of civility, not of the law.

Which of the following is a color? MG, Purple, Bulldog, Cranberry, Corgi, Hawaii. Any designer will tell you that Cranberry is a valid answer along with Purple.
