Poll question: Which pays better, telemarketing or website trolling?
Edited on Sun Sep-12-04 11:57 PM by SheWhoMustBeObeyed
And are the disrupters are recruited on right wing sites? Or could the neocons be behind some of those "Work from the privacy of your home!" come-ons that clutter up Monster.com when you're looking for a real job?

Edited to add the third option...

2. Do they really pay trolls?
It wouldn't surprise me if they are paid!

7. LOL
I keep saying to my friends who don't have net access and ask me to look up something for them that there must be paid trolls on the net.

Seriously try to find something "objective" by using the usenet archives (on google) or just about any forum and you'll find the topic you're looking for quickly; somewhere someone has already asked the very same question but then one responce will be someone saying "I don't know, but..." and it'll be a long reply about nothing. Then another will call the original poster an idiot; yet another will make a bad pun; another will correct someone's grammar. Eventually, if the thread is long enough it will go offtopic and erupt in some sort of miniature flame war with someone offering the helpful "so and so is off his/her meds today". Someone will have a bizarre link to a conspiracy website. And on and on it goes...

:shrug:

6. google "work from home" and you'll find plenty
I would never sign up though, because the majority of these outfits are ripoffs.

4. Because the rightwingers are generally UberChristians, who love heirarchy,
they are totally into the pyramid and ponzi schemes, like Amway (owned by a Christian whacko nutjob) and Mary Kay and other bullshit like that.

They are also trained to be very socially uncautious, at least in terms of feeling the right and the authority to talk to people about what they (the religious ones) firmly believe in. Hence, they tend also to be really good telemarketers and salespeople. Might not be good at conversation, due to their lack of anything non-ignorant to offer to a conversation, but they make great salespeople and telemarketers.

Plus, because they worship authority and get all orgasmic whenever someone tells what is truth and what to believe and what God wants of them, they make great employees for such shit jobs as telemarketing.
