A long long time ago I use to do programming and run the software for a company that did telemarketing. Computer generated call, when someone answered the generated call it went to a person to pitch. Couple of things to remember when dealing with these calls.
1. the person calling you is just doing there job. whether it be some student, or some mom just trying to put food on her table. nothing personal, just a job.
2. if you are rude to the telemarketer or abusive most times they will put your number back into the call list so you get called again. just to piss you off.
3. as noted most marketers have to make a certain number of attempts to sell you there crap. its not personal, just a job they have to do it. in fact is you yell at them for being too aggressive and demand a supervisor, the minute the supervisor gets off the phone with you listening to youf rant, they will praise that agent for being aggressive and doing there job.
as ratbastid said, just say "i am not interested, please do not call me again and put me on your do not call list" then hang up. Talk over them if you have to. The marketer will appreciate it as they don't have to keep trying to sell you and the call is over quickly.
I really don't see the big deal. Call display is wonderful, annoying phone calls are a part of life. takes 10 seconds to repeat i am not interested...click. on with your day. Now if you said that and they kept calling back everyday now that would be a different story.
