Topic: Fun with popup blockers.

Okay, so I'm surfing the web/playing Faldon right?  Well out of no where Faldon closes and a popup comes up.  Now, the first thing I went to do is close it, but then, I clicked on my pop up stopper.


Pop Up Stopper:bla bla Blocks all popups, if not, we'll give you your money back.

Well, I take a screenie of this popup and send it to they're admin or whatever and then today I just got a email back. (I sent this email about a year ago)  Well, they said they couldn't give me any money and naturally, I'm like "wtfomgstfuwthiwantmymoneydamnitwtfomgstfuwth!!!!!!!!1111"

Well, get back to you soon once I get done yelling at them.  roll

Re: Fun with popup blockers.

Yeah I sent an email to them saying I'll sue they're ass, since I read the ToA and all that shit.  And it also said that if it didn't block pop ups they would give my money back.  Well I got an email about 5 min later saying...


Administrator: Okay okay okay.  We'll send your money back. Just fill out this form <attachment>.

So I fill it out and send it back to him, well I paid $40.00 on this pop up stopper.  And this dude sends me $0.23 back :!:  :?:

You can actually sue for Breach of Contract, and False advertisement.

Well, I'm thinking about it. I just got a break from work (computer programming and tech shop).  And now they have paid me $5.00.  I'll see if it goes up in the future, message you with updates.

Court costs will exceed any amount you could sue for.. Unless you add
to the case the costs of court... But either way you are going to lose..
and waste your time.. lol

//Thread hijack

Lets not forget that the reigning judges of the US are mostly Catholic and their decisions are largely based on that of their faith rather than what is truly  correct. Of course I'm also considered the anti-christ at times so this may vary in opinion.

Error 1: Everyone has to Swear on a Bible regardless of Faith.
Error 2: "In God we Trust"

Re: Fun with popup blockers.

Of course, there are some silly religious formalities, but they're essentially meaningless. I mean, if your an athiest, and you swear on the Holy Bible, it means nothing to you. Now, if the Bible has significant meaning in your life, well, I guess you better not lie. And maybe it pushes would-be christian liars into telling the truth? Can't hurt.

They used up all the qu'rans they had, when they were busy provoking the prisoners and desecrating the books. -_-

Not really... figuring the majority of the population in the US is Protestant not Catholic...

Error 1: Everyone has to Swear on a Bible regardless of Faith.

This is actually a misconception of our legal system. You don't swear in on the bible. Most places don't even have you place your hand on a book at all. I am not saying some courthouses don't have the Holy Bible used to swear in on, but if so not many.

Error 2: "In God we Trust"

Though you may have a point here. I see no reason in changing a long standing tradition of the phrase, this mostly references our forefathers to begin with.. And if what Stephen Colbert says is true wink 92% of Americans believe in a God.

Re: Fun with popup blockers.

Yeah, well, that 8% shouldn't have religion stuffed down their throats for being the minority. Remember, uh, "tyranny of the majority" or, well, I guess, "seperation of church at state" . . .

Not that "In God we Trust" on our money is a real bother to me (or a "long standing tradition" for that matter).

I have bigger things to worry about, like the War on Christmas!!!
