I'm certainly hoping I never actually need one. I definetly don't now, and most of the people who I know that have them don't actually need them...they just like having them so they can text message and all that other crap. Neither of my parents or grandparents or just about anyone in my whole family has one...So I remain hopeful.

Yeah...I suppose I don't mind people owning them...It's just that they use them...ALL THE FUCKING TIME! People need to learn when to give it a rest...

I'm pretty sure I may be the last person alive without a cellphone and I'm damn proud of it. Not since the Furbee has there been such an obnoxious invention... Last night I was lucky enough to be able to attend a speech by Dr Fritjof Capra. My enjoyment of it, was severely hindered by the fact that despite his request that everyone turn off their cellphones, at least 5 of them went of during the hour long speech. In addition, at any given time I could look down the rows of people sitting in front of me and see several dumbasses text messaging on their little blue neon screens in the middle of the lecture. The damn thing lasted just a little over an hour!! How fucking short have our attention spans become?!? So your good friend Jill or Johnny wants to know what you're doing tomorrow or when you're coming home or if you're still with that slut you picked up at the party of friday night...It can wait, goddamnit! It's become impossible for people to concentrate on one thing. No one can be bothered to focus...people are just always have to be talking or communicating with someone or playing a game or watching a screen. The only thing that pisses me off more than bad drivers are bad drivers using cellphones. Sorry, Ms 5 MPG SUV, Mocha Latte, gotta get the kids to the game and don't care if you cut my ass off while doing it...Personally I find the safety of myself and other drivers more important than your husband telling you if you're out of milk or not. The one thing I love about cellphones is the people who have the ear pieces and headsets that you can't actually see. It's so funny to watch some dumbass walking down the road who appears to be talking to themselves...The sad thing is that almost everyone is doing it now, when I walk downtown I'm the only person not talking to myself. I really hate the way people on cellphones tend to act so entitled to be able to use them whenever and wherever they want. While I was in a movie theater once, someone woman's cellphone rang and she had the audacity to actually answer it. When I told her to "shut the fuck up" she acted as though I was somehow being unreasonable...the bitch. For once I'd like to be able the ride the bus without having to listen to someone else's conversation with their friend Joe who wants to know how many beers to bring, or dear mommy who wants to know what time they're getting home. Yes, I know their are certain conveniences that cellphones provide, but let's be honest...People have survived just fine without cellphones for thousands of years...(and the rate of ADD among children was probably a lot less, I might add)...The majority of cellphone use is just idiotic little conversations with little to no importance. You don't need to be connected every goddamned minute of your life. A little offline/offphone time will do a whole lot of good... I don't care if I become the only person in existence without one, I will never, ever own a cellphone. Anyhow, that rant turned out a lot longer that I thought it would...sorry to those of you who actually read the whole thing.

Look, feel free to believe in whatever conspiracy theories you please. My point was this and I brought this up far before you started complaining about CBS. You can't call PBS biased and then post a link to georgewbush.com. It's called hypocracy.

Um, maybe that's because he just wrote a book that's about to be released? Did that little notion ever cross your mind? He's not the president anymore, there's not really any need to be asking him questions about his policies. Anyhow, once again, you mannaged to completely ignore my point...Here, I'll put it in a nice, easy-to-read format for you: -You complain about me posting links to sites which you label to be "liberal" -You then claim that Fox is the "only voice of sanity" -In addition, you continue you defend O'Reily in the same mannar. -When the 3 statements listed above are put together they = hypocracy.

Dear god...I was about to actually agree that PBS and some of those other stations you mentioned tended to be more favorable to the left...and then you say that "Fox News is the only voice of sanity"??!? Brick wall You've got a hypocracy addiction, Jeff.

Oh come on, that's the best you can do? You complain about me posting things from the New York Times and yet you expect me to except something from the author of "Showdown: Confronting Bias, Lies, and the Special Interests that Divide America" ? I expected better from you, Jeff. *shakes head in dismay*

Jeff, when you say things like "that's the facts" and "the liberal media" you're just encouraging people to hate you. It's sorta hard to respond to this, considering you'll say "I don't listen to PBS since they're teh liberals!!1!", but here you go... http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/environment/jan-june01/bushenv_3-29.html Edit: Here's another site, which I will admit is anti-Bush, but they bring up some good points, none the less. Remember, you don't have to respond to this, it's what I posted above that counts. Wink http://www.bushgreenwatch.org/mt_archives/000042.php

I dont' feel like getting into this, but I'd just like to point out one thing... Quote: Republicans do not say that global warming does not exist. In fact the environmental restrictions have increased under the Bush Adminstration. THATS WRONG. No, just no.
