Hey all,
Hope not to enervate w/ my usual knuckleheaded computer probs but let me say first I appreciate everyone's time and patience, but have yet to understand one response to all of my prior questions regarding how to cooperate w/this devil-machine. So, if anyone wants to assist me w/this one, could we do it by email, and go slow, so I can ask all the stupid embarrassing questions in private.
But first, Is it my attitude? Am I not "honoring" this 21st century contribution of applied science to my wretched peon hairspray existence?
I don't care, I AM angry, I can't get rid of all the pornographic messages on my email, there were 18 yesterday, and one message pretended to be coming from an ASHRAM. A sacred temple. This is what my family did to my trust, innocence and reality-based world-view, it's not only dishonest, it's harming!Yes I want to get AOL to stop all of these emails, but I also want to sue or shut down or legislate the complete annihilation of the companies who do this. There must be some sort of decisive action indicated, nothing against pornography, but I can't understand 3 things:
#1: Dirty movies are not hard to come by, (sorry, play on words). I could get all the porny I need at the neighborhood pornography store, it's legal man, it's out there, so how can all these companies stay in business when what they're selling is so omnipresent?#2: When are they gonna realize I'm not buying? How can their constant solicitation of non-buyers prove cost-effective, aren't they wasting alot of time and money in pursuit of nothing?
#3: How can they get away w/ the deception? An Ashram, for Allah's sake! Do they "know" somehow that I, personally would be amenable to opening a message from a Buddhist community? How do they know that?!
I'm gonna pick up a computer-for-dummies book nexttime I go to library. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
