Damn cell phones

One night, at computer class, a student's cell phone kept ringing.
Finially the instructor [ a woman ] yelled " Stick the phone " the student
muttered " Huh ? " and the instructor said " Stick the phone, stick the
phone on vibrate, stick the phone between my legs, I need some action ! "
her husband, also a student in her class, stomped out of the room. I hate
cell phones, I won't own one, they turn normal people into assholes. I love
telling cell phone owners who don't return calls " You wear a *** phone, why
don't you use it ?

 

huh? you bitch when they leave the phone on...

you bitch when they leave it shut off?

ive got one. stays off unless i want to make a call. wanna reach me?
call my home phone. dont have my home number? then i guess i really dont
want to talk to you.

i only give my cell number to people i dont give a shit about, like
telemarketers, surveys, rebate forms, stores that have my name in their
database, and for sale ads i put online.

 

You waste your airtime on useless calls? The only people that get my cell
number are people I want to reach me.


Happy modeming,
Bill

 

I'm sorry, perhaps you didn't read what I was responding to. Obviously you
can't pay attention. Thank you.

 

I don't use a home phone, I spend most of my time away from home. So I feel
a cell phone is somewhat useful. However it does not require me to take
your call when you call me. I am still allowed to use discretion. If I
don't feel like calling someone back right away, I don't. Having a cell
phone doesn't make me instantly accessible to anyone who wants to get a hold
of me, it makes me instantly accessible to whoever I want to get a hold of.
I control when I use it, and how I use it.

Seriously, when you drive, you pay attention to the road. If you take on
the responsibility of doing something else while you are driving that
becomes your problem. If you can't multitask and you cause a problem, then
frankly you must pay for it. Much like no one made a law that you couldn't
cook, watch the kids, and talk on the phone at home because you might knock
the pot of boiling water onto your kid when you got the cord wrapped around
it. Much like it isn't against the law to change the radio station, or
change cd's, or anything else. It becomes something that we need to teach
people responsibility. Not a law. Laws don't make things better, or safer,
or any of that crap. Responsibility for ones own actions is the key.

I see people everyday that are talking on their cell phones, braking on the
freeway for no reason, or cutting someone off, or some other stupid action.
I still don't think a blanket law will help that. Laws just complicate life
even more. We have too many laws. Everyones quick solution to everything
is make a law. Laws don't make the world safe. If you want to make a
change, start by teaching your kids.

 

for some reason telemarketers dont call cell phones, or at least mine.
ive got virgin mobile, and it costs nothing to check my voicemail from
my home phone.

 

I can read the headlines now....

"Joy Riders Steal Diesel VW And Out Run Befuddled Police"

I think that the police have too many projectiles as it is. I'd hate
to see the carnage that our local cops would wreak upon our roads
trying to deploy such a device, while holding a donut and drinking a
coffee on their morning radar tax collection duty.

 

I'd love to be a fly on the wall of the responsible organization if
such a device got implemented and "El~Kayieeda" got their hands on it
while Dick Cheney was driving along in a motorcade........

"Today, The Newly Elected President Was Killed When His Pacemaker Was
Shut Off Accidentally By Law Enforcement Officials..."

Either that or a trial lawyer...

I say let an NGO handle the cell phone issue. Too many laws on the
books as it is.

 

Firearms sound like the answer then,

widely available, widely used and only $0.45 per "use"

 

Lemme guess - you're in favor of banning conversations between driver and
passenger(s) too, right? If not, you better be since there is no difference.

These geniuses in legislation have everyone so brainwashed that "cell phones"
are bad and cause all these accidents.

What will their excuse be when they get all their laws passed and realize that
it affected nothing?

Ahh, it's not worth it. Too many people just don't get it and refuse to take
their blinders off.

 

Now this is the sort of clear thinking we need more of in DC!

You have to dial your passengers? Cool! And you can make 'em shut up
with the "end" button? Cooler!

 

I think that you need control of the privacy glass for full effect
;-)

 

And you have to mentally visualize them as well?

The study i've heard about suggests that that is the major problem with cell
phone usage while driving.

 

Don't tease me like that.

he never said he answered the phone, but with it being off, I thought that
would be a given.

You shouldn't be bragging about saving a drunk driver...due to your stupidity,
someone will die for that.

 

judge and jury

 

Are those convictions as bad as being a victim?
