Fuk it. Im done.

im sad and pathetic for pointing out the obvious ?

OP please, just let it roll off of you. Can you imaging what these morons are like? Much the same as these people you're referencing in your post.

You are right on the money. Life has changed and people are only getting worse.
If I wasn't so wise, I would say I don't blame them.

Cheers OP.

ugh......................... I have yet to see that around san diego, its mostly the 15-40 age range that is constantly looking at their phones, even at the gym, it can drive me nuts sometimes. people nowadays are like droids, almost like they have lost their own identity and soul.

thats one of the reasons why I use a flip phone with no internet access. I didnt want to become like that. when I go into the gym, the store, at work, it stays in the car. I have a smartphone that was given to me, but I refuse to activate it, not to mention the NSA part of smartphones, I will refuse to be a victim of civil rights violations.
society has really lost it's perspective on networking, its an aid, not a crutch.

Yep. Mobile phones are security blankets for adult babies.

Speaking of NSA. I was on the phone with someone from the US... and this has happened twice now...it sounded like someone picked up the phone in another room. I heard a click and then sort of an echo sound (the sound you hear when someone else in the house has picked up the phone). I am alone in here! :(

Now you are a guy I could have a pint with.

^ that supposedly when there's a handoff between towers.
just to be sure though, I usually yell "F**k you!" into my phone so they get my drift.

boy oh boy oh boy......... I have a few stories to tell........

Yes I know exactly what you are talking about. Thats why it is best to speak in general terms over the phone when discussing sensitive info. The most secure way to talk is thru email using a TOR network, but I am not sure NSA has or has not cracked the TOR network yet, I know they are close. you can read more about it here.....

dang it, GLP will not let me post the link.....

It's everyone here, even kids that look about 8. People don't even walk their dogs without their phones around here.

ha ha. your all just as bad as the moron zombies out there who dont know they are stupid.

fuck ya all.

Im right, your all wrong.
except the German dude... your cool

Anonomisgirl what part of Canada are you in?

They are draining more than their batteries.

I wonder how the Dopamine Receptors are fatiguing over decades of over use. It is no surprise the T.V. puts the Brain into an Alpha Wave State increasing Dopamine levels; So, are people getting the same effect basically all day with excessive phone screen use? Does this strain Dopamine Receptors and other related biochemical responses? Could this lead to Parkinson's related increases in the years to come?

Would this be appropriate Elevator Conversation?

Seriously. I just walked through the grocery store now. what a pathetic display of humanity. Everywhere I look, I see sickly inept people not caring for anyone else but themselves.

Just this morning on the way to my work, I was driving beside a college and this girl was crossing the somewhat busy 2 lane road from her townhouse residence.... she came up to the solid yellow line and I thought she was going to stop to wait for me to go by (this is no cross walk btw) but no, she kept on going without looking in my direction at all. I had to really break hard (not locking up though) or I would have absolutely pulverized her. I honk as she is right in front of me. NOTHING.. no head turn, no flinch. ZOMBIE. PURE FUCKING ZOMBIE mode. (she didnt have ear buds in also). As she steps onto the curb, she quickly looks back and gives me a glean.
Sad thing is this is not an isolated occurrence. There are MANY out there like her.

unfucking real.

this world is seriously messed up from the top down.
Welcome to end game. going to be a bumpy ride!!

She has the right of way as soon as she steps in the street, ask the Buckingham Guards.
