I'll have to think about it, because that freakishly tiny left hand of yours really freaks me out.

If the ultimate goal is to make a sale of any kind, it’s illegal to call someone on the DNC. It doesn’t matter whether you think it’s illegal. It doesn’t matter whether it should be legal. It only matters that it is, in fact, illegal. As @rousemark said above, if you call the wrong phone, it could also be really expensive!
As far as someone calling me to “become my friend”, I would probably just laugh at that (derisively). One thing I can’t stand is false pretense.
Listen, I’m totally on the side of freedom when it comes to cold (or any other) calling. Business people should be free to call, and recipients should be free to ignore, block, hang up, etc. But if it’s illegal, I don’t do it.
But you do you.

I didn't equate it with stealing, and I apologize if it came across that way.
I equated your rationalization with the one often used by petty shoplifters, not the acts themselves.

Fair enough. Rationalization can become a slippery slope.
Of course, the root word of rationalize is... lies.

The intention is something hard to prove. You and I can definitely feel it, but it is hard to prove on paper. I have known people in this industry who play language games under false pretense at all times, and I suspect there are tons of them...

Wait a minute, I feel like you might be playing language games with me right now while you are explaining to me about the same....,.hmmmmm
