Supposedly this an RC forum let's keep it that way. I've seen posts on what song are you listening to??? This generation has much to learn but doubt they will.

This is the off-topic forum.......
Quite right, and these subjects are fine here.

As for this generation, there is also much knowledge. Tact represents some of it [X(]

A good rant CONGRADULATIONS. I guess texting is a necessity since they can't spell. I'm 82 how did I ever survive???

Lets see, 82y/o huh? That would have made you a teenager in the late 30's. Wonder what your grandparents thought of swing music or your generation? Probably not too much but ya'll turned out ok. Just like the newest one will. Just because their outlook and technology is different than your's was is no reason to doubt them.

i got mine when i was 12? i weas mine often, i dont use it to just say hi to my friends. on average i make 10 important phone calls a day? texting saves me trouble, me and my friend can text each other back with out worrying about people hearing us talk. and i wont get asked 1000000 questions about what me and her said if we talked out loud.

some of you need to chill you beans about kids texting in school. you dont go to our school, and dont know why we text the people we text. i text my mom and dad sometimes, for racing. i miss school alot so they remind me about getting my stuff and all of it. i can text some one and ask where they are, how there are doing, or how hot a chick was... lol

after all, we are the myspace era...

I still don't like Cell phones......They were a nice thing back in the day, but now they are a bad thing....I mean I see people that just can't put it down....I mean they hold onto it like it is a break of gold or something... People drive with it, the eat with it, they do every thing with it in there hand....I hate it, I have almost be run over like 5 time by people talking on there cell phone whale driving....I think that is a pretty good incentive..

Well. Ive only done that about twice. My norm is like 5k less. I get texts alot. I have alot of friends.

I'll ask my dad to scan the bill. Not sure if he will be willing to put his phone bill on the internet..

I was at the mall yesterday and I saw 4 girls side by side eachother sitting down. All had their heads buried in their cell phones texting away. Was very sad to say the least.

I don't get the "it's sad" part. Except for the technology it's not that different than when I was a preteen/teen and sat talking on the phone for hours at a stretch. My parents didn't understand that anymore than I understand thousands of texts per month. But that doesn't make it wrong or "sad", just a different thing for a different generation.

ya, watch, they were texting each other because it was 'cool', i know of a person who goes to our church who i swear every 2 seconds is texting someone, its annoing, ive heard of people DYING in crashes because they texted, go figure, you can't hold a phone to your ear and talk yet you can text, go figure, i do have to say in the right circumstances they shure come in handy, outside of that, i do'nt know, is hard to say[&:]
