France to Allow Cell Phone Jamming
ZuperDee writes "According to this article, the French industry minister has approved a decision to allow cinemas, concert halls and theaters to install cell phone jammers, on the condition that emergency calls can still get through."
Uhh, FYI - I keep my cellphone in silent mode. Haven't had it go off even *once* in the theater.
I merely meant that even if someone's did, I wouldn't care much, that's all.
And besides, people are getting far too anal about things these days. It's just a fucking movie.
LTFL (Learn The Fucking Language): "emergency calls and calls made outside" is two separate parts: (1) emergency calls and (2) calls made outside - so the emergency calls are not necessarily outside.
Go ahead, brand everyone who has any need that does not match yours as being anti-social. My attitude is not anti-social - it is simply need-based.
Denying cellphone reception because a few idiots can't bother switching off their cellphones is ridiculous. Hey, most people in this country don't like alchohol, so let's get rid of alchohol altogether. Those who like alchohol can go to another country.
I still vehemently oppose it. Go ahead, ban cellphones. While you are at it, since you don't like being disturbed, why don't you ban babies too? They seem to cry and make noises too. And if you have a nature's call, just don't let people use the restroom. Because I'm sure it bothers you so much.
Guess what? Those idiots munching on their popcorns and sipping that coke make a whole lot more of noise than any number of cellphone annoyances. So why don't we ban food and drink too? I mean, if they wanted all that, they could rent a DVD and watch it.
I called the AC retarded, not you. And if you happen to be the one who responded anonymously, that comment _was_ retarded.
