I'd consider the practice to be money-hungry, and just plain icky. I probably wouldn't go back.What about you? Would you think it was cool to get a photo of what you could look like, upset that they did it without asking if you were interested, think they were in it for the money, or something else? less

In marketing, mailers almost always get under 10% response rate- some hover between 2-5%, and this campaign got 32%.But, to me, the idea seems really intrusive, and would be a guarantee that I'd never do business with the company. I might check the website to see who the heck was at my house (which for their statistical purposes counts as a response), but I'd be really put off by the company. The advertising agency says not one person called to complain. How do you think you'd respond to an ad like that?https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2012/07/31/toronto_area_porsche_dealership_parks_car_near_driveways_of_affluent_homes_in_instant_direct_marketing.html less

This bill is TRUMP and TRUMP's imagination. The same imagination that caused him to rip off millions of people and go bankrupt over and over.Just pass anything and blame it on someone else when it fails. Just so you get rid of Obama's name. Put 26 million people in dire straights. Who cares? Trump will fix it. less

Congrats to Alabamans for thinking for themselves. Trump might fire all of you though. Just watch your backs.

In my head, I was thinking "Oh my god how could they do this?!" I posted this question on SW and I got flack for it. I'm sorry but I think it's just wrong....

It's not that I'm not ok with people venting or saying something bad happened to them, it's just that they treat it as if their whole life sucks because of one bad thing. What is this? Is this a new trend or have people always been this way and I didn't notice it? And, it's not millennials I see doing it- it's actually Gen Xers. :o

I have blue eyes but they change color a little bit depending upon what I wear. Most of the time, they are a shade of blue gray.

OR, is it possible for someone to change your mind? Are you a hard a$$ or a flip flopper? Or maybe it's somewhere in between. Please explain. In the meantime.....
