Not everyone has such ideal living conditions. Some people have children, elderly parents, and/or disabled relatives to care for. Some people cannot afford to put them into daycare and then drive 20-30 miles each way to a minimum wage job at $3.19/gallon of gas, even if they wanted to. Nearly every boss at nearly every business expects employees to have their home lives arranged so they do not have to spend "office time" taking care of home crises. Those with the above-mentioned responsibilities cannot always do that. I talked with a hairdresser just yesterday who told me she had just been fired for trying unsuccessfully to make all that work. Some people have disabilities themselves and cannot stand or sit or do anything else continuously for an entire work day. Some people cannot even imagine wasting God's precious gift of life "working 40 hours a week (of drudgery) for 40 years only to retire at 40% of what wasn't enough in the first place."
Not everyone looking to work at home is seeking to get rich quick without doing any work. Most of the ones I have seen are desperately trying to just make a living - pay the bills and eat. They are trying to balance family needs and economic necessities.
Yes, they should do their homework first, but it is not fair to lump them all into a pile of lazy idiots. For many people, life is hard and they struggle just to get from one end to the other.
And unlike you (or me) some people live more like 700, or 1700, miles from the beach!

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
