 No Solicitors!
Don't people know what these words mean? These words are on a sign on my door, and I constantly get people who ring my door, and say, "I'm not selling anything." The sign doesn't say, "No Salesman," it says "No Solicitors", and isn't a solicitor anyone who is soliciting your time? It especially bothers me when religious people do this, I think they are being extremely deceptive when they say they don't know what the word means, and as missionaries, I believe that they should set a good example of what their particular religion is all about, but when they start off by acting like they don't know the word, and it doesn't apply to them, I feel like they are being deceptive and disrespectful to other people's wishes. I really feel like it's important to respect others, if you want to share you personal beliefs about God.
Maybe this bothers me more because Joey goes off on a tangent every time the door bell rings, but I want to know what other's think, if you see the words, "No Solicitors" do you think it includes those who are missionaries?
By the way, this isn't meant to be a religious thread, I really want to just know how people define the term solicitor. |
