Kstme | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 11:07 am     Nope. |
Scootersmom | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 11:17 am     No. I would feel guilty. |
Sasman | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 11:22 am     no for a few reasons. 1. i had all the movie channels for 3 months free when i first got directv and only watched hbo. 2. morals 3. makes me nervous. when i was in brooklyn, the cable co. sent some kind of zapping signal thru the system that only their boxes could handle, illegal ones were ruined. the funny thing was that some zapped people called up the cable company to complain about the interruption of their tv and they all got arrested. |
Lumbele | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 12:56 pm     Nope |
Kady | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 01:06 pm     Not again!! I know some people that are fixing to be in some huge trouble so I'm glad we don't "free" channels anymore. Believe me it's not worth the money that it is fixing to cost these guys. I'm glad our conscience got the best of us and we got out before we got caught. I am now proud to say we pay for every channel we get. |
Lizajane | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 01:22 pm     No probably not, I'm not much of a tv person (except reality ) so wouldn't be worth the trouble. |
Whoami | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 01:27 pm     Hmmmm....my initial thought may have been yes. But, I see everyone else's response and realize I would feel guilty, and I would also be too nervous about getting caught. So, I guess the answer would be no. Yes, I am wishy-washy! |
Denecee | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 02:21 pm     I plead the 5th. |
Twinkie | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 02:45 pm     No way! Besides the fact that hubby now works for the cable company, before that I reported tenants who were stealing cable. And that's what it is....stealing. Same as if you went in a store and stole something. |
Tess | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 05:10 pm     Nope! |
Costacat | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 05:44 pm     Oh gawd! A trick question!! (In case anyone asks, I have Time Warner! <grin> <wink>) Realistically, I'd say no thanks, I don't want to "steal" their signal. BUT... a huge gigantic part of me really REALLY wants to say YES! Because I'm already paying $85 a month for basic cable (100 channels) and my high-speed Internet access (cable modem). And although I have two TVs hooked up and no additional charges, it's still expensive! Plus, my cable company is pretty much a monopoly here. I can only choose from one cable company. And I've had that same freakin' cable company for well over 20 years. So, although I'd be saying no, a huge gigantic part of me would be yelling YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!! (Dang it!) |
Urgrace | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 06:18 pm     No, I'm no thief, but I think our one and only cable company is. When they bought the previous company they automatically doubled the price with the city's blessing (also for their cut), and I call that stealing. |
Pamy | Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 06:47 pm     WOW I am impressed at all the liars, um I mean honest people here!! lol just kidding |
Heyltslori | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 09:55 am     Happy Friday Everyone!! Today's question is: You phone a friend at 1am and dial another friend by mistake. When the sleepy voice answers, do you identify yourself? (let's pretend that caller id is NOT involved) |
Kaili | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 09:58 am     No I don't (assuming that *69 also isn't involved...) |
Crossfire | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 10:01 am     Well, this is a tough one, I just plain don't call people at 1am. I'll say...yes. |
Bonnyswan | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 10:02 am     sure...if they are my friend they know me to be capable of flub ups like that and are cool with it. |
Monkeyboy | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 10:02 am     Yes |
Goddessatlaw | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 10:03 am     Anyone calling me at 1:00 a.m. is no friend of mine unless it's a dire emergency, and vice-versa. No problem identifying myself under those circumstances. |
Max | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 10:12 am     For me to call someone, much less be awake, at 1 a.m., it would have to be an emergency. So, yes, I would identify myself as I know the mis-dialed friend would understand my frazzled nerves and dialing mistake during an emergency situation. |
Spitfire | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 10:20 am     Yes |
Lumbele | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 10:29 am     Anyone calling me at 1 am better have an emergency, too or a dang good reason and/or apology. Since I would expect them to identify themselves, I certainly would give them the same courtesy and hope they are less cranky when awoken than I.  |
Wargod | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 11:36 am     yes, i would. |
Kady | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 11:47 am     Yes, I would. |
Pamy | Friday, September 05, 2003 - 12:08 pm     Yes, I agree with GAL and Max |
