Finally...proof that cell phones are EVIL!

I have had the belief that cell phones are evil since they hit the market. And today, I was slapped in the face with the proof I needed.

For supper, I browned some lean ground beef, seasoned it with onions, a pinch of garlic powder, dark chili powder, some paprika, a generous palmful of coarse ground black pepper. Mixed in some refried beans, diced tomato with chile peppers and some nice Amish cheese. A quick simple Friday evening bean dip. I turned the burner down to simmer, hopped into the car and ran to the local Save A Lot store to grab a bag of white corn tortilla chips and some soda (pop, cola...whatever it is called in whatever region you life in). Got in the check out line and while in the check out line...that is when I found the proof that cell phones are in deed EVIL!

There on the wall behind the check out line conveyor belt thingie, on little plastic pegs...were a wide selection of prepaid cell phone cards. Tracfone, Verizon...and one for Net10. It was on the card for the Net10 prepaid cell phone service..in bold black lettering..the proof that backed up my belief that cell phones are EVIL! The card read:

No Bills! No Contracts! No Evil!

NO EVIL! This one cell phone company has cell phones that have no evil...but all the others...they don't have that. They have EVIL! They are EVIL!

CELL PHONES ARE EVIL!

Now where did I leave my aluminum foil suit?

Yep evil as can be. Just look some of the ones using them on the highways.... complete maroons that can't pay attention to their driving.

Philadelphia just enacted their new cell phone law on Dec 1st. If you use one it must be "hands free only" if you are in or on any motor vehicle. $75 when caught... no questions asked. Plus up to $300 if you don't pay the fine on time.

Chicago has had the same law in effect for over a year now. I haven't heard one way or another how well it's been enforced. It's one law I'm all for.
I give a wide berth when a see a Yuppie type mommy,....driving her super luxury SUV,.....with a couple of youngsters inside,....yakking on her cell phone as if there's no tomorrow.

I am with verizon and have a little known contract and I have to buy my phones, every 1.5 years to keep up with the world, and I get them on ebay for under 20 bucks, lol
anyway my contract with verizon cost me $100 per year, thats it. Thats about $8.66 a month but i have a yearly date that I have to pay them on, thats the catch.
I can text and now I have a full keyboard, and send and receive pictures and get on the internet, but the small screen is a hassell. I can also talk to anyone.
To me it was a life saver when I was in the hospital, I called henry every day.

I was traveling one time, reached the airport at 11:56pm, almost midnight. As we landed, we were told we were now able to turn our cellphones on... I had a message, saying, the hotel I was about to check in has a gas leak and all the guests were advised to stay in another hotel that is on another side of town...

The message through my cellphone saved me pressures of time, money and inconvenience.... :icon_lol:

Sometimes things in our lives save us from anything danger - seen or unseen - be it good or evil.... Someone up there made sure we are all taken cared of through blessings or blessings in disguise....:engel016:
 
I only have a cellphone. I gave up my "landline service" about 12 years ago. My service via US Cellular is $49.95/mo + tax for unlimited incoming and 1500 min/mo of outgoing.

My only problem is finding a cellphone that is just a cellphone on those rare occasions when I need a new one...

By "rare occasions" I mean just that. In twelve years of service I've only had three different phones...

...the latest of which is an LG "flip" with the world's most useless feature: a "camera" from which one has no way of retrieving any photos taken! :salute:

It is enforced but not a deterrant. I see Chicago cops talking on their cell phones all the time. Most do pull over, when doing so, creating a traffic hazard as they are usually double parked. :isadizzy:
 
I was following a motor cyclist down the main street of the small town I lived in then (live in another now) and wondered why he was wobbling. It was early and the bars and liquor store weren't open yet. When he turned into a parking lot, I saw why. He was steering with his knees and balance. His hands were busy dialing on his cell phone.
