If you texted 911 would they come help you?

[BINGLEBOP]

Not sure over there. In the USA, somewhere in Iowa is the first place trying that out.

Speaking of Facebook, I need to friend request you, Bing. That is, of course, assuming you'd accept it...

Do it d00d (http://www.facebook.com/justinbartz).

[Coach Owens]

There we go.

[BINGLEBOP]

Wow, you look surprisingly normal. Then again, that's how I pictured you, so it's not really surprising then.

Well that picture's from three years ago or so, so...

[BINGLEBOP]

Oh, so you have green hair, fangs, and facial tattoos now?

Well, that's becoming increasingly normal too, so...

Nah. ;) But I do look a little different.

[SirKodiak]

Hmm, I don't have Facebook or a cell phone, how will I ever survive...

I thought I was the only one, I hate cell phones.

[Arctic Blast]

I thought I was the only one, I hate cell phones.

I'm in the exclusive 'no cell phone' club as well.

[OregonDuck1989]

I like my cell phone. Allows me to meet up with people when I'm not at home.

[SirKodiak]

We need to make a group (or whatever they are called) on here

[ragecage]

Awesome!

That is the only reason I would want one.

Not sure how, but I would join.

My things about Cell Phones are...

A: I dont like the fact I can always be reached.
B: I feel they are rude (they interrupt a real conversation with texting or phone calls)
C: I am just annoyed with people that always have a phone by there side, (especially when its not even business related), if these type of people die, I bet I couldnt even pry the phone out of their cold, dead, hands.

D: And most importantly I just get pissed off a lot.

[FloydtheBarber]

I have a phone, i use it half as much as Ragecage doesn't use his. That is how little I use it. I maybe text 3 times a month? lol

[BINGLEBOP]

Well, I'm sure emergencies would apply too. I would buy every member of my family (especially older members) a cell phone if they didn't have one, simply because there was a circumstance in which they were saved because of it. Two winters ago, an aunt and uncle of mine crashed into a large ditch during a snowstorm. They were both severely injured, but the injuries, thankfully, weren't life threatening. It's because they had a cellphone with them that they were able to call for help and possibly save their lives. Nobody else was driving on the (country) road at that time of night, and since it was a snowstorm, neither of them would have made it very far if they tried to walk.

I think D explains it the most. You're probably pissed off about something else, because A, you can turn your phone off or just choose not to answer it. It's just like a regular land line, or email even... no difference at all, aside from your cellphone being portable. You could just leave it at home though if you really wanted to. B, that's common etiquette that you would know. And if it was more important (again, an emergency), then that's worth interrupting a conversation. And C, like I said, emergencies dude. **** happens, so it's nice to have one "just in case".

You could get one of those cheap "pay as you go" phones and keep it with you only in emergencies, and you're good to go.

[OregonDuck1989]

If you took out all the texts to my quote end quote girlfriend then I would probably have less then 50 a month.

[eggson27]

I use my phone a LOT..lol

[SirKodiak]

I just don't know how I have survived.... It is amazing!

but if you want one for emergencies, you can get one someone else doesn't use anymore rather than buy one. 911 always works if the batteries work, and you have reception. No need for any plan.

I always love the hikers in remote areas that think that all they need is there cell phone. No mirror, no whistle, no fire starting ability, no compass, no map, no knife, no shelter, just a cell phone. Cell phones make people stupid. At least it seems that way.
