Okay, I'm sure many of you get telemarketers who call the hell out of you, but I know some of you are on the national do not call list (in the US anyways), but I have to admit, the non-profit calls are even more annoying than the profit ones.

I get calls 10x a week and over 100x the last 2 months from RTI, apparently a charity group. My question is, if these charity groups are non-profit, why do they keep spending all this money making calls no one will answer? I have caller ID and I can see who calls, but this is absurd. And also, if they are really charity calls, why do they not accept items other than cash? I offer old clothing in almost new condition, appliances, and they still say they accept cash only because they can't...gasp..."buy" any medicine with it. Like hell they can't. Not only that, I get calls from ROTC, police academies, and other these other so called "non-profit" things. And here's another thing, they ask for your personal information...yet how the hell did they get it in the first place? You wouldn't be calling me by "Mr.(last name here)" and asking "..of 1 Hi. Street?" It's so much bull...I can sympathize for people who have to do this for a living, but I wonder if all these telemarketing non-profit calls are actually fake because they make it so obvious that it's not non-profit.
