yes exactly, what if your country was beginning to find out about your missuse of collected taxes? what if your voters found out about your cocaine habit and $500/hr hookers? or your military discovered you were using them as guinea pigs to test new bioweapons?
no..
we need a dictator-friendly forum that can be easily squashed at the first sign of trouble. Think of the damage, rumors unchecked could destroy a poor guys political career, cause riots, or even topple the government itself! no freenet is too powerful to be trusted in the hands of the average joe who doesnt know the far reaching consequences of his actions, it needs to be overseen by a body you can trust.. like the firm hand and fair mind of the armed forces. Who better than the people who defend us everyday from enemies (who we probly would not have made without them) and attacks, and sadly from our own people bent on destroying what we have
the whole point of my cell phone is so i can contact certain people in case of emergencies, and more so to be contacted in case of emergencies. so hey, if your silence is so important to you, stay home; theres noise outside, its a fact, get used to it or dont go out.
yeah we all get your point about how some people are annoying with their cellphones, but idiots ae going ot be idiots whether you jam their cells or not. they'll still talk in theaters and annoy you, they'll just have someone to talk to beside them. they'll still engage in distractions while driving, whether its looking under the seat for their cd to play, or checking their makeup, or a million other things. These people are idiots and you dont fight fire with fire with idots, cause guess what you become?
"It's people like you that cause huge traffic jams because you're talking on your cell phone and not paying attention to the road, then you cut off a tractor trailer who then in turn jacknifes, and runs over a bus full of nuns which catches fire, burning alive all those inside."
hehe thats funny, and what about the guy who could have saved those nuns by calling 911, but some idiot with a jammer decided to walk by?
in the end, jamming cells like that is immature adolecent vandelism (like "hax0ring websitez" and "DOSing lam3rz"); it puts people at risk (jammed 911 calls, doctors missing calls to show up for life saving surgery) and it disrupts people's lives more than some background noise would. If you have even one iota of humanity (which is in question by the looks of some posts i've seen here) imagine for one second that someone died in an accident because you were jamming a 911 call, or someone ended up on welfare cause that job interview call never got through, or some guy missed the birth of his first child cause his wife's call neve got through to show up at the hospital (the list could go on and on)
all in all, it comes down to this: outside has noises, if you want to go out and not be bothered by the noises of technology, go become amish.

yes but how long till they come up with jammer detectors?
as a cell phone user myself who gets incredibly frustrated when i cant get a signal, i can easily see myself carrying a jammer detector and beating the piss out of anyone i find tampering with my service.
it could even be prosecuted under the same laws as tcp/ip denial of service is, since in essence you ARE denying me a service that i'm paying for.
