One of my daughters had a summer job once for VPIRG (vermont public interest research group) It was a fundraising job, door to door, spreading halftruths and soliciting money from people to further their mission. Sounds like the same deal to me.
You missed a chance to educate the kid and besides every minute he spent with you he was not raising money to further the cause. Of course if he did'nt meet his targets he is gone.

Spence, If I was somewhere and someone I didn't know said something I disagree with, I might tell him I disagreed. I wouldn't walk up to him and say "liar". If I did I would expect at least a dirty look. If I later came up to him and again said "liar" I would expect a punch in the nose.

This is the internet and you can be as rude and obnoxious as you like. I won't lose any sleep.

In my first retort to your Initial childish post, I suggested that we might someday become friends. I don't think this can ever happen now. I don't get along with people who haven't learned civility or how to "play nice"

It's been fun dealing with you, Stewie

Edit: I said something that wasn't very nice, realizing I was acting a little like you did, I quickly removed it, I'm sorry, I should know better

I was buying some new kayak racks at EMS today. The hippy chick checking me out said the ones I got were ok as long as you were strong enough to easily lift the yaks up.

I said, oh, I've got plenty of strength for that. She responds...

I can tell just by looking at you, now try not to break the machine when you swipe your card.

Now that was funny.

Ok, you seem pretty taken aback so I'll rescind my accusation of seal story exacerbation in good faith.

Enjoy the holiday

When I 1st read Stewies post i was thinking the word kid was highschool on down . Saying damn thats harsh... Not a paid solicitors as some are saying I'll leave it there

kid was in his twenties. Nice smile and all, accent like he just flew in from Ireland. With a little luck, he'll look into it and make up his mind if he agrees with his employers or not.

I don't like it when people show up at my door asking for money, especially when they are young and probably working for peanuts.

Or worse. True story...

Last summer a guy (who was obviously cleaned up for the role) came to the door selling magazine subscriptions. I told him we're not interested and he went away.

That afternoon my wife tells me about the magazine subscription she just bought. She said it was a little expensive, but he was out of prison (for dealing) and was really trying to get his life back together...his story was apparently quite moving.

So after I got off the floor, I looked up his company and amazingly enough it was a scam. No, seriously...

As luck would have it we drove past him leaving the neighborhood later that day. She explained her concern and he agreed to give the money back, then just drifted away.

My take is that his story was probably legit. Some company rounds these guys up, uneducated and (perhaps just a low IQ to g begin with) and in prison for god knows what. Gives them a place to stay and food and makes them feel like they're doing the right thing...likely had no idea he was being taken advantage of.

Low IQ but high enough to outsmart Mrs. Spencer?

Spence, I think you need a vacation, a long vacation. You are, quite obviously, stressed out. Your comments of late have been beyond ridiculous.

wow this thread keeps on going.. anyway, I usually pretend I'm not home and tell my wife to do the same as these days god knows who could be knocking on your door, the days of trusting strangers are over IMO.

We had a period of time when a certain religious sect use to come to our home every week. I repeatedly explained that we were practicing Catholics and very active in our parish. Well after about 2 months of this I got really annoyed and told them to stop.
The next week I let Gab, our 150 pound German Shepard answer the door. Haven't seen them since.

When I was in high school, three or four of us were still up drinking at 10 on a Saturday morning, for some reason, we had a bunch of lit candles among the empty and full beer cans on the coffee table.

two of this religious sect appeared at the door. We invited them in. My friend Gerry started moaning and jabbering. they left quickly.

(when I was in high school. 18 year olds were of legal drinking age)

Don't get me wrong, I'd have left quickly too if I had any sense.

Did anyone graduate?

[Stewie]

By the skin of our teeth. I remember walking to the graduation ceremony in our caps and gowns, beers being tossed to us from passing cars. There was very little sobriety amongst the seniors that day.
