Cell Phones In The Air?
jumbledInTheHead writes "Are you ever annoyed when someone near you talks unnecessarily loud on their cell phone? Or even worse, when it is in a tight, enclosed space and you can't walk away? The problem is about to get worse the next time you take a flight; the FAA is considering removing the ban on cell phone use on airlines."
Get your problem solvers right here.
I've got one mounted in my trunk. Works like a champ. Someone once told me I had no right to cancel out other people's radio communication. It's my airspace too.
Besides, I've always liked the vigilante thing.
REM Old programmers don't die. They just GOSUB without RETURN.
That has to be one of the worse rants and reasoning I've ever heard. Just because I'm going to get shot, I don't want to get stabbed on the way. Sure, lots of other things I do are causing me to whittle down my lifespan, but I don't particularly want to die any earlier than I already plan to. Listen, maybe you don't get this, but you are using something that KILLS! I don't want that shit near me, ever. What's the difference between making someone inhale your smoke and poisoning them? Same effect.
You're acting like smoking is something natural. IT ISN'T! Yes, I know, neither is going to McDonald's and eating their crap, but guess what? I don't shove their crap down your throat! You are *forcing* me to inhale your smoke when you're near me.
Granted, if you are moving towards someone who's smoking, you've got no reason to make a comment. That still doesn't make the rest of your rant any more valid.
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'.
What are you, some kind of pussy?
