Saran wrap, better than trying to use tin foil as a condom

I like in Ft. Worth, had the iPhone for 2 years. Dozens and dozens of dropped calls. But all my friends had iPhones too, so it wasn't always clear who's was at fault. I loved that phone, and it dominated the market for a long time, but even the 4 doesn't hold a candle next to the new line of Droids.

Had the Incredible about 3 weeks now....haven't dropped a call yet and has only had to be rebooted once. That's pretty goddamn stable, so far so good.
FWIW I always use a hands free device... Oh and the reason is money, clue me in when smoking starts paying bills.

Study after study has shown that using a hands free device doesn't make a difference in the increased probability you will kill someone innocent. Clue me in when paying the bills justifies murder. You goddamn murderous bastard.

I don't talk on the phone while driving unless I absolutely have to and that's less than a handful of times a year. I don't like talking on a phone anyways.

Hmm...well, killing or being prepared to kill used to pay my bills so oh well.

I don't deny that talking on the phone can be distracting. If we were really smart, we'd eliminate all distractions from the driver, put him up front, like a chaffer without a radio or anything, isolated from everything else. So he could completely focus on driving.

Unlike you all, I can admit that some of the things I do aren't in the best interests of myself or those around me. I don't claim to be perfect, are we back on the premise that one must be perfect in every aspect to be allowed to criticize anything or anyone? Also, I don't admonish my peers for performing acts that I do myself, or do you claim to NEVER drive and talk on the phone? I do them because I either have to or because I need to do them to get through my everyday life and/or be more productive in my profession. I use voice dialing and a hands free device to minimize the potential distraction and thus the danger. IMHO, the most dangerous moment when using the phone while driving is dialing.

I never do anything that needlessly or selfishly puts other peoples health at risk...correct.

like smoking around them?... like speeding?.... like drinking any alcohol and driving?... like letting your dog out without a leash?... hmmm well, I personally don't know what it's like to be perfect. fwiw, I guarantee that even talking on my blue tooth, I'm still a better driver than most people behind the wheel. I've been driving for a living for over 20 years total without an accident so... real talk.

Dumb bitch high school was texting and driving while I was riding. I had to honk my horn for dumb bitch to go on green arrow. Of course before taking off she looks around like a dumb bitch for 15 seconds. Then dumb bitch finally takes off and dumb bitch is still texting on her dumb bitch phone. As I passed dumb bitch she's texting and holding the wheel with her forearms; dumb bitch looks at me as I pass while I move my head in the "you're a dumb bitch" motion. Dumb bitch.

But I'm a high school girl, I can't kill anyone cause I'm a dumb bitch. Killing someone is killing someone. Doesn't matter if it was an accident or on purpose. Maybe some day we'll have a judicial system that'll actually punish phone killers.
