I know what you mean. I used to be really against them. I hated them actually. I still don't have one, but there has been times where I wished I did!

Sweet, now you can be pissed off when bush's goons are listening to your conversations!

The irony of technology. Sharing information as fast as ever, gov't collecting it more than ever...ha.

better to have one and not need it than to need it and not have one.

Some reasons I don't like them much are:
1 It's kind of like a tracking device. People can get ahold of you anywhere. Of course you can turn it off, but then if someone called they will wonder why you are ignoring them
2 It's nice to be able to get away from the phone for a while. Sometimes I go out to places just to be totally alone.
3 People do stupid shit on the roads with them. My boss totaled his car while dialing a number on his cell. I've seen so many near collisions, just because some stupid bitch is more wrapped up in her drama conversation on the cell phone than she is in driving.
4 People everywhere especially in stores will be talking on their phones. The people on them get very loud and obnoxious. Also quiet places like waiting rooms and doctor's offices turn into a damn chat room.
5 Some of the annoying and gay ring tones or songs that get spammed out when they ring. nEspecially when it's some fucking rap song.
6 Some kids have them as materialistic or fashion items in attempt to make themselves look cool or trendy. People like this are just plain gay.

That's all just bad manners.
I never answer my cell phone when conversing with someone in real life.
I rarely answer my phone in a store, and if I do it's usually to to tell someone I will call them back in a few minutes.
And I NEVER use my phone while expecting to conduct business with another person, ie. at the pharmacy, at the bank, at the register.
Cell phones aren't stupid, the people operating them...
