We have become a country of greed. Seems that all (or most)have the ethic 'do it anyway for as long as you can get away with it...here in the US the odds are that you won't be punished'.

I've watched the changes for the past 70 years.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20197020 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 15:44:14 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20193397 jimbo48 : In retrospect you are correct. Face it the legal system was designed by and for lawyers so tha tthey can enrich their private wealth. The honest lawyer went out with "To Kill a Mockingbird". Most lawyers I've met are so pompous and full of themselves that its tough to be around them for any length of time.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20193397 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 23:00:04 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20190822 EPS : The problem is that class action lawsuits rarely give any real aid for those who they are supposed to- companies can usually get away with silly things like $10 coupons (so customers spend more at their stores!), just as long as the class-action lawyers get their millions.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20190822 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 14:43:50 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20190402 jimbo48 : A single client could not afford to bring a corporation like Verizon to court to sue because of the massive legal fees involved and the endless ability of lawyers under retainer or on staff at Verizon to file delay after delay wearing down the individual. A Class action or a suit brought on by a State AG would be more successful as it would benefit the public. Forcing a client to sign a contract without revealing the complete terms of the contract or hiding the terms of the contract by deception is illegal and any terms are unenforceable.Problem is you can't get a Verizon rep to sign a complete contract when its on-line or over the phone and its all to easy to alter the facts electronically to cover up the illegal business practices. Corporate America has sunk to a new low in terms of ethics and legality. They just "assess the business risk" and make decisions on the risk of negative revenue flow and to hell with it being legal or not.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20190402 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 13:22:57 EDT
