Really? What are all of those anti-handheld-cellphone ordinances that are being adopted all over the country about, then?

BTW, buy a fucking headset before you kill somebody.







* Fuck gender neutrality in this instance.

Alex,

Read the question...

Is the dd more culpable than the cell phone user? And if so, why?

Bullshit. You were the chief instigator with your "I call bullshit on the glandular excuse" rant.

POLL: State your greatest eating achievment. With food, gutterminds.

I ate two pounds of Brussel sprouts at boarding school. yum, brussel sprouts.

And today - I was just mentioning to someone, I have eaten 5 apples. (and I want another one). That is an achievement of sorts.

I think Charlize could hook you up. Atticus might be able to track her down for you.

In my view, yes. The level of impairment is typically greater,* and a guy on the phone can fucking hang up and pay attention, while a drunk driver can't do that.

I realize that I have an emotional reaction to the issue because of my family history, but your claims that a guy on a cell phone is more culpable/dangerous than a drunk driver is a mind-boggling.


* I'm too tired to dig up statistice, but I have seen studies re levels of impairment from talking on the phone, and IIRC, it's about equivalent to 2 drinks which, for most people, if BELOW the legal blood-alcohol limit.

deited because I can't fucking type.

The smokers pay for themselves (now, to some extent) with taxes, so why shouldnt the overeaters and consumers of processed "food"? The only difference I see is that disease related to overeating of crap is on the rise faster than heart disease relating to smoking. .

The smokers pay for themselves without cig. taxes by dying young. The taxes are just gravy to pay for other wasteful state spending.

If your issue is litter, you ought to take it up with the fucking smokers outside the building dumping all their butts on teh sidewalk too.

But the new thing to complain about is popcorn. Yes, popcorn . Second-hand popcorn is also dangerous.

No one calls for the heads of chronic speeders or cell phone abusers like me. .

I do.* Every time some fucker yacking on her cellphone cuts me off, runs over me in a crosswalk, dings me in a parking lot.

*And I really mean that. I wrote in to AAA years ago calling them inconsistent pricks for sucking up to MADD and their lower BAC limits while simultaneously opposing all limits on cell phone use in cars.

Whiff. I did not express any contempt for the less-endowed. Nor did I suggest that they were in any way responsible for their condition. I certainly never said I hate them. I only feel that way about lizards.

Does everyone in Hollywood smoke? That is so disappointing. Really.

Others might call this a lame topic for my personal half-kay, but I disagree.

I saw dozens of pigeons swarming and vying for tossed bread crusts while I was eating lunch outside today.

Has anyone ever seen a baby or juvenile pigeon? They seem to only exist in goodly squab-sized bites to me.

Not me, brother. I make it clear that we're cabbing it or someone else is driving, because I'm not. I drove shitfaced a lot in high school and thinking about it now gives me shivers. I won't get near a fucking car when I'm drinking. You lose your goddamned license for a year in this state if you get caught. Fuck that.

Wow.

MADD

They have to be sucked up to. They're so powerful they'll get you drunk, force you to drive and then have you arrested for it.

Alex is right about the caller's ability to drop the phone and concentrate vs. the drunk who can't. But I say, get them both off the roads and the crazy speeders* too. Better yet, off with their heads!

*Crazy speeders being the ones going much faster than the rest of the traffic, not the ones just keeping up with the rest of the traffic, like me.

My scariest car ride was on a business trip. Partner (notorious cell phone driver and speeder) rented a car. So we were zooming along the highway in a strange town and he got a conference call on his cell phone. He held the cell phone in his left hand (he didn't yet have hands free) and "talked" with his right hand to emphasize his points, leaving no hands on the wheel. I was whimpering and praying I wouldn't have to fly home in a body bag.
