LaxBuddy21 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 God I despise text messaging. The stories of kids texting thousands of times a month just makes shake me my head. It's like a drug to them and I think it's pathetic. Outside of places where you are supposed to be paying attention like school, there is nothing wrong with texting. It helps kids stay in touch with their friends and helps them communicate. There is nothing wrong with kids being social and equating it to a drug is just inaccurate. What kind of adverse effects does this have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSKINS_08 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Cell Phones shouldn't be used in restaurants, in grocery stores, in cars and a anywhere others are defendant on you paying attention, even walking down a busy sidewalk. I can see you saying you shouldn't text or talk on the phone while driving, but why not in a restaurant? Or a store? Or walking down a sidewalk? When do you think you should use your cell phone, only when you're in the house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0217092samsung1.html That is the police report. Apparently the officer was asking her if she had a phone and she kept denying that she said one. They asked several students if they saw her with one and they said she did have a phone. So they arrested her and searched her and found the phone. But still, this girl is 14 years old, did they really need to arrest her in school for lying about having a cell phone? Just suspend her and giver her detention for a few weeks. No need to arrest her and have her go to court over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of adverse effects does this have? Oh spare me. Keep in touch? You mean the constant LOLZ, OMFG, BFF? Pick up the phone and talk and actually "communicate" with someone. They wonder why kids are so ****ing fat these days. Myspace, Facebook, Texting, video games and hours of tv. They don't ****ing move anymore. Okay, I feel better now.

It's like a drug to them and I think it's pathetic. I agree, the ONLY use I've found for text messaging is when someone is drunk and you get their phone. It's loads of fun to text people in their phonebook crazy stuff. Love doing that. Otherwise texting is useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I can see you saying you shouldn't text or talk on the phone while driving, but why not in a restaurant? Or a store? Or walking down a sidewalk? When do you think you should use your cell phone, only when you're in the house? On a busy sidewalk? Step to the side, get out of peoples way. At the grocery store? Pay attention to the task you are doing, you are in peoples way, because you are not paying full attention. In a restaurant? Just rude. Does your server need to ask you something and can't? Are they waiting, making everybody else wait? Are you too loud? Are you ignoring the person you are with? Use your cell phone, when it will bother nobody else. Be conscience and courteous to others. It makes things move faster and it makes others lives better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Another thing, while I'm ranting, every single cell phone has a button on the side, that is the phone rings, the button will silence the ringer.

SkinsBry Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 they need to tie this girl up and cane her in front of the rest of the school.she needs to be made an example of and the only way to do that is to "cleanse" her of these awful deeds she has done!! WITCH! WITCH!!! Burn her at the stake, if she escapes, she's a witch. If she dies, she's not a witch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chow184 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 she probably refused to give the phone up,that's the policy at most schools when you get caught. so security was called she refused to give the phone to them she gets arrested for being a brat.

Im willing to take that risk in order for the greater good of a non-texting school!! she is going to spread her witch-text ways to all of them and turn them all wicked!!

SkinsBry Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 she gets arrested for being a brat. With that kind of thinking, do you know how many kids should be arrested everyday for being a brat? The police can put up precints in every Wal-Mart and shopping mall across America.

Dan T. Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I think repeatedly lying to the officer's face had something to do with her getting arrested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes things move faster and it makes others lives better. Well im pretty good at texting and looking where im going at the same time, so I dont get in anybodys way. I can agree with you on the restaurant part if you're with someone it is rude to text while they're talking to you, or if the waiter/waitress is talking to you, but I dont see anything wrong with texting if that doesn't apply. Another thing, while I'm ranting, every single cell phone has a button on the side, that is the phone rings, the button will silence the ringer.Nobody cares about your song and it is annoying others. I always keep my phone on silent or vibrate, so im good on that 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is up to parents to get their lazy kids outside playing and whether they text or not has no impact on that. Actually it should be easier to get little Johnny to come out to play if you can text him "Hey BFF, OMFG, Im going outside? U coming? LOL" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Talking to someone is so much faster than texting. I prefer to talk for 1-2 minutes as opposed to texting for 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorhead Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 "The phone, a Samsung Cricket, was then recovered from her person. From "the buttocks area," to be precise."Well that might explain her behavior. The girl had a bug up her ass. Well maybe she was just "ass texting."

Yea but depends where you are. I can do other things at work while texting where if I was on the phone, I would have to stop everything for the conversation. Plus, when I only have one thing to say or a quick question, I hate calling someone because then i feel bad cuz I dont want to keep talking ha.

No need for me to text back and forth for 4-5 times the time. I would rather just talk to you. For example, you and I could have a 10 minute conversation about the greatest rap groups of all time and debate on the phone in 10 minutes. Texting would take us near an hour.

So when you have that one quick question..."I gotta go, talk to you later". Not rude or time consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
