Another example of 'do as I say, not as I do'.

In her defence she wasn't actually on the phone, and if her phone was set up for hands-free use it would not be contradictory to the bill she voted for.

Still, a pretty dumbass move...

Thus proving that everybody talks on the phone whilst driving once in awhile. Seriously. EVERYBODY.

Hypocrisy smells like rotting cheese...

Not I. I haven't owned a cell phone in probably 5 years, and I don't miss it at all! Besides, have a cell means people from the office can track you down any time and anywhere. Not a good thing when in the IT biz.

Also, when I am driving, leave me alone. Period. I am relaxing and listening to my music or the news. The last thing I want to do is talk to some joker who can't remember how I told him to fix something last week.

Im very careful with the mobile phone and the motorbike, if I do answer the phone whilst I'm on the road I put my helmet back on straight afterwards!

Exactly, my old lady and I are probably the only two people in California who don't have cell phones.

A cell phone seems to me like an anchor around my neck rather than a blessing.

Seeing hippies talking on cellphones is funny. <-----hippie

Well, the only purpose my cell phone serves now is to keep in touch with my baby whenever the hell I feel like it. Seriously, I could wake him up at 3 in the morning to talk about South Park if I wanted.

I also like the fact that when I have my cell phone, I don't ever have to worry about being stranded, or in trouble. If I keep my wits about me, I can always call for help with it. It's scary to imagine something happening and me not having any way to call for help.

Apart from that? It's just a money black hole. Toss some money in, and you can get some worthless collections of pixels, or an annoying ringtone, guaranteed to piss somebody, somewhere off wherever you go!

Also: I dont like memorizing phone numbers I am laaazy.
