And what is it with all these overgeneralizations?  "People today can't..."  "People are in too big a hurry"  "People are too lazy"

I guess life has just become so simple that every individual gets clumped into the "people" category...no wonder a law like "Noone can use a cell phone while driving" makes sense to you all  :dunno:

Well when only a handful of people don't do any of those behaviors, what else could be said? "people" just suck these days.

Okaay, and I'd like to know how you went about to obtain that figure of "a handful"

You act like there was no stupid people before the overgeneralization of "these days" (whenever that is)

Me has more thoughts. I'm sorry. :(

Why do people seem to have a dependence on technology these days? Why is it that people cannot stand to be away from their phones/ipods/technologically-entertaining devices for one single second? If you ask me, cell phones should be banned completely. They are unnecessary and do more harm than good. Another thing that gets me is that people, especially in my area, seem to think that the law doesn't apply to them. We need to do a mass extermination of the idiots/self-centered :censored:-heads in this country. Let's start with George Bush and his fellow Republicans. :yes:
