BawBag™ Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Originally posted by snowman21 Oh thank god! Someone who likes soccer! At my school, almost everyone hates soccer except for the soccer players and the friends of the soccer players like soccer. It doesn't matter how popular I am. You usually have 100 football players trying out though. But anyway... Hey relax guy! I'm from the home of Football.... sorry *cringe* soccer. Originally posted by snowman21 I like ring tones on the cell phones. I would rather have them leave the ringtone on instead of hearing them yell over static. And people talking on cell phones while driving is a bad thing too. Unless you have a headset. I dislike ringtones. I just put the phone on vibrate.

ET Warrior Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 I have a cell phone and it is REALLY useful at college. Especially at my college, because if I'm on campus, it's a 10 minute bus ride to get back to my dorm to use the phone, and if I want to meet somebody on campus it seems really stupid for me to wait for the bus, get on bus, ride back, call them and then repeat the process going back to campus. Instead I just call em up on my cell and tell them where I am so we can meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Fisher Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 I suggest you just get ham radios! You can tune into the local fire station/police dept. in a jiffy. I think they are better. Even though I don't have a liscense(sp?) yet. But I really hate it when people are driving, and on cells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swoosh Posted November 17, 2003 Author Share Posted November 17, 2003 I think some of you guys aren't geting my point. Life was fine without them...phone companies have convinced us all that we all need a cell phone. I was fine before them...now it's just another hassle of modern living. We're almost slaves to them. Yes, there are plenty of benefits to them. But, I feel many people now only own them because they feel forced to. Also, I don't think they have really helped our society. Now we are just more dependant on technology and instead of maybe talking to a new person you meet at school or whatever, you might decide to pick up your phone instead and call a friend. I guess I just think they are over rated and I would do without one if it were possible to do so. Swoosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pad Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 I understand your point swoosh and in a way I agree. But cell phones are no evil tools when used properly. In fact, they can be a great help for your/mine social life. For example: I dont have that much time and most of the time im even not at home. The situation is almost the same with girlfriend (weekdays she lives at her student dorm) and so that sneaky little thing is helping us managing our time together. Its very usefull when classes are skipped or rescheduled to call her to tell her I have some time. And if she has some time aswell we can meet each other and have some quality time. Without it we probably be lost or wouldnt see each other that much. And that´s just the girlfriend. Its almost the same with my friends and sudden party plan changes. So you see I dont have a cell phone because of public pressure (i mostly dont follow trends btw), but because, the little ****er is helpin me managing a lot of my time. And if I dont like it or just want some peace and quiet, I turn it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrylic Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Originally posted by BawBag™ Not at all. It is the superior sport. Agreed. I see no point in American Football. "Hey man. I'm going to fracture your virtibrea! (sp?)" "Ok! Sure man! People at home will get a kick out of us killing ourselves!" Who ever thought of this retarded sport? Anyways, I have a cellphone, I dont use it much though, cuz im afraid ill go over the limit, even though I dont use it. Plus, I have sprint, and well,l the reception isnt really that good all the time, so I prefer to use the home phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki GM Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 well dude, i don't really feel sorry for you for what happened when you had a party, those are the risks you take when you throw one. i'll never throw a party at my house because i don't trust anybody and it'd just be too much of a risk having all my **** out. cell phones are pretty handy and i don't mind them unless people have them set to ring in a movie theater, that pisses me off but other than that i don't mind at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJackal Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 I'd never have a party at my place because: A) I hate cleaning up at my place, but I have no problem lending a hand to clean up at someone else's place. B) i hate this place so much I wouldn't be able to have fun in it. I barely come here with my friends. If my friends are here its to pick me up and leave right away. that's it C) i live in a neighborhood full of old people that stare you down when there are 3 cars in your driveway. etc etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Call up the police, give him the phone number, they will look at the call history from the phone company, call someone the thief called, find out who he is through his friend, look at his felony hitory, and if his history is full of felony goodness, they will stick his butt in jail. And you even get your phone back That, my friend, is why it is stupid to steal a phone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, maybe if he played a retarded sport like American football, instead of a candy-ass "superior" sport like soccer, he might not be scared to pack his own money to school with him.

BongoBob Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 To IG-64:My thoughts exactly. To Acrylic and Capn:No flame wars please;) I need one now that I'm staying after school on short notice alot more. I have spent around 5-7 bucks on payphone calls to my mom. I am hopefullly getting a Pay as you go phone:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermie Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 agree with most of you, a cell phone is handy, but can be very anoing(sp). the society has developed itself so you have to have a cell phone. wish it wasnt so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Acrylic hasn't flamed me. I'm just saying I've never heard of an American Football player, retarded or otherwise, who was scared someone might take his lunch/pay phone money. That's all.

DarkLord60 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Now how did this turn into a football vs soccer fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman21 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 I don't know, but i guess its my fault, I don't hate soccer or football, and no one else should put down me or anyone else for their opinions, even though most opinions should be kept to themselves. And CapNColostomy, I can't believe you would insult me and call me a wimp when I didn't do anything to you. I am a very (VERY) strong person who doesn't take crap from anyone. he might not be scared to pack his own money to school with him. I never said I was scared to pack my own money. I usually forget to get my own money ok? This is what I said. There is a payphone but I never have money. I don't like bringing my own money to school. I don't like bringing money to school because I don't have football people messing with me, I don't like spending my own money in school. Plus my school has a lot of people who find it funny to break in lockers and steal stuff (strait F theives). They are able to 'kick' lockers open and steal stuff in it. I got a spanish book stolen once. I'm friends with most of the football players. Don't call me a wimp because I play something I like. Now I'm going to put the rest in bold to get my point across. PLEASE do NOT post anymore on this issue about soccer and football. This thread is about CELL PHONES! Not soccer and football. If you want to talk more about this topic, feel free to PM me and get your point across. Or you can make your own thread about it. Maybe I'll do it, but its unlikely. I am extremely sorry for the inconvieniance DarkLord60, this is my fault and I hope I fixed it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swoosh Posted November 18, 2003 Author Share Posted November 18, 2003 OK, about calling the cops...does anyone really think the cops care about a measly cell phone? Plus, the only evidence we would have is the call log, but I'm not sure that is easily accessed by anyone but the service provider. Also, the jerk that stole it surely has gotten rid of it by now since it hasn't worked for a few days. I think it would be more hassle than it's worth since I have a new phone coming by tomorrow hopefully. However, these couple of days that I haven't had a cell phone have been pretty nice....like a vacation almost Swoosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
