So, how you been man? haven't actually talked to you in awhile

Meh. On Anti-Depressants, Messed up the best thing that ever happened in my life, almost thrown my back out, and have a cell phone which, for some reason, won't let me call people, bu people can call it. Same old. As always, I'm life's whipping boy.

Sorry to hear about that, Aegis. I often go in and out of deep depressions but I have never had the need for medication. Sometimes I feel the entire world wants a piece of me.

hnag in there dude.

Cell phones ain't woth a dime here, if you go within 5 minutes in any direction, you hit dead zones.

But what about the Verizon guy? He always says "Can you hear me?......Good." You think the Verizon guy would actually lie to us??

BTW-I agree that cell phones are useless. Their only purpose is to take them along with you in cars just in case theres an accident or something. Other than that people just use them for toys. Completely useless.

Thats true. But I was basing it on the actions of my friends. They call eachother's cell phone from across the same room, or from car following the other car. Thats all using it like a toy. I guess you use it a bit more responsibly.

Well, I figured I was gonna use it to blow up a few gas pumps...

That makes you my Sensei...

...don't you ever wondered why and how I came up with the Book of SeMAHntics?

As for Lord of Lurkers, these people still haven't got a clue why you're aptly titled so...

...how'd they think you were able to come up with those tunneling exploits?!

Ode, I used to have a pocket plane... Wouldn't ya know that there was an annoying little Imp inhabiting it all the time. He always went digging through my stuff, so, I had to colapse the entire place. Tragic... I had access to everywhere I wanted to go from that plane....

Ours just has a bar-tending monkey and two dragons, or at least in the parts that are open to the public.
I used to have a pocket plane much like yours, but for some reason there was never enough storage space...
The one in the Rolling Thunder (TM) is far better, and doesn't have any annoying imps...
Drop by sometime and see it.

I find that kind of use...

...of the cell phone very amusing .. probably they got rich dad and mom to pay for that... (another )

For me, having a cell phone is out of necessity. Got to keep in touch with my family and clients.

Shut up already.
I am busy trying to work and you guys keep posting forcing me to refresh the page and not get any work done
I will blame you if my boss gets upset.
Whose name should i give first?

I live in a relatively rich town. I, however, am hardly rich. (I, personally, am broke) I dont know how my family ended up in this community and support it well. So most of my friends and classmates are relatively rich, and therefor, some are also spoiled.

Hey, I'm not rich either. When I'm not working, I only have $80 a month to use, and now half of that will be going towards the phone.

My generalization stated that people who use cell phones just as toys basically are rich. It wasnt people who use cell phones are rich. You have that cell phone for a reason, so I wasnt implying that you were rich, Aegis. I dont have any idea, and I tend not to judge people before I know details.

It sounds like that phone is kind of wearing down your income. Is it worth it?

Not everyone who has a cell phone is loaded with dough. To many kids, cell phones are as much a right as being able to go out on Friday nights.

Generally, cell phones are toys or status symbols, but there are people who have legitimate needs for them (ie-doctors, folks who travel for work, etc.). My stepdaughter lives in her own apartment and instead of a land line, she has a cell phone. It turns out to be cheaper for her to have Sprint PCS service ("Can you hear me now?") with caller ID, voice mail, text messaging et al than it is to have a phone in her apartment (she also has cable modem internet service). Plus she's never away from that thing sticking out of her head.

My parents are quite well off, so I have a mobile phone and they kindly pay the bills. By the same token, I don't make many calls on it, and only got it because my cousin who used to live with us, and whose phone it was originally, moved back overseas, so my parents figured they'd just give the phone to me.
I actually never really wanted a mobile phone, but it has come in useful from time to time.

I myself am quite poor, I don't get an allowance and haven't been able to find work so far. Aegis seems to have a pretty good deal from my financial setup...

That sounds exactly like me, except replace the words "havent been able to find work" with "Im too lazy to even attempt to get a job". So basically Im flat broke except for a few hundred dollars in the bank for savings and about 15 bucks for private spending. Ive spent way too much money on CD's, though my brother has over 350 CD's. Probably more.

I have always contended that if you really need to work you can find it, a decadent society seems to breed people who wont work because they feel the jobs they get offered are below them so prefer to live on welfare

Well i have 200+ CDs, put that together with other music paraphenalia, computer games and hardware..one wonders why i am broke

I have a phone which I rarely use. And even more rarely give out (number), as I hate having people throw useless and expensive SMS over to me expecting a reply, I only ever reply in certain scenarios and sometimes turn the annoying thing off, because I like my privacy. I only got one because I do go out late some nights or if I'm travelling long distances, a cell phone is handy when no public ones are around.

From celebrating BS 5k...

...to cell phones?

Man, talk about evolution!

As regard to cell phone usage, there is NO NATION much weirder and abusive of its use than the Philippines.

SMS mania is everywhere...

...to the point of being to annoying to others and people communicating with one another (via sms) even if they are just a knuckle massage away...

*sigh!* ...onli in da pilipins...
