Texting is the stupidest thing in the world.

You got a phone so...CALL....why do you need to text

You know why texting is so popular.....had one of my scouts enlighten me on why.

He Said "Because you can't make a Phone Call in Class"......How about, I don't know, Doing Your School Work while you're in class.

I'm with you Larry......stupidest thing around

I agree. My fingers are way to big to use a phone to text. It's a freaking phone.

When I had a cell phone, the people I wanted to talk to were on speed dial, and caller ID screened my incominhg calls. I want to push more buttons than I absolutely have to like I want hemmoroids

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

You give an "A" student a cellphone and texting plan and let him go to town and you can watch his IQ drop like a stone.
Think about it: You don't text anything grammatically correct, so you begin to associate that the entire English language. What you end up with is a generation of literary idiots that can't spell their own names without a keypad.
How long will it be before our beloved Websters Dictionary will be replaced with texting jargon and slang?
