Yep, you're wrong! This is the advice post office workers "come with". It's the same as with the do not call registry - most people just don't know about it.

Also, erm, this isn't "equal rights for advertisements"? It's just an old law that says the post office has to deliver everything they're given. The first poster was just embellishing it for drama, which is a time honored american tradition so I can't really judge them.

Hate on the US all you want tho, just seems like there are more worthy topics than a misrepresented law.

I'm gonna need to see a lot more testimonials from people this has worked for before I even begin to believe you; That it's as simple as going to the post office once and asking them not to deliver ads to your address, and you stop getting ads there.

And if this is true, it just means a different couple of traits were creating America's ad mail problem. Ignorance and laziness.

Lmao traits that as we all know have never been ascribed to the american public, or the human species in general.

(Unrelated but dude, an entreaty: If this is bait it's pretty weak. And even if it's not you might want to try taking a break from the internet, it's making you act like a stooge.)

((Seriously you're not going to get me to argue that the US isn't fundementally broken. I just want the ways it's broken to be accurately recorded, is all))
