Re: controversial or unsavory-- how about LEGAL / NORMAL
said by Placebo  :Seriously? Are you really feigning outrage here? So what if it's legal. That doesn't mean that everyone feels it's morally acceptable. Are you telling me that Verizon should be forced to give ANY organization access to its network? If the people that pay for service from Verizon opt-in to receive the SMS messages, then yes, they should be forced to allow such messages. I PAY Verizon to receive the content that I want. They should have no say so, unless illegal, in what content is delivered to my phone.
THis is along the lines as to you paying for cable tv service and the cable company blocking programs on any of the channels that they deem as something you shouldn't watch.

| I want 200 HD channels from Dish Network. In fact, I'm paying them over $100 per month. Give me what I want!!!!
See, doesn't that sound a little ridiculous? It doesn't matter if you are the one "opting in". What matters is the fact that Verizon doesn't want to provide access to their network to NARAL.

You are using an analogy for something that Dish doesn't even offer.
Debating with people like you is useless because you will constantly use information that has no bearing on what is being discussed.

| For NARAL to send the messages, it requires Verizon to provide access to thier network. Verizon chooses not to provide access. Would you expect Verizon to provide access to ANY organization?
I'd argue that I'm not "clueless". Dish Network offers local HD channels throughout the country--I'm pretty sure they offer over 100 channels throughout the country. I can't get all 100. Is my analogy so off base?

Yes, common carrier -- I expect them to provide opt-in access to their network, for their customers, for any legal content. |

said by Placebo :For NARAL to send the messages, it requires Verizon to provide access to thier network. Maybe Verizon should monitor all phone calls. That way if NARAL calls a volunteer on the phone they could block the call. Is this what you suggest?
