Doesn't it just boggle the mind that the legislature saw the need to make it illegal for people to write letters on their cell phones WHILE DRIVING???


Yes it does boggle the mind. But understand that stupidity may kill... and that helps a bit, but it's not always the right people that die. So the legislature has to try to fix it as best they can. 8)


Don't get me wrong--I'm not saying that the legislature acted improperly. What I'm saying is that something as stupid as that shouldn't NEED a law. But clearly it does. What's truly unfortunate is that those who are stupid enough to text while driving, are stupid enough to continue despite the law.


What's TRULY unfortunate and even frightening is... they may breed! :shock:

texting/hip hop slang/and simply the fact that the youth of today could just care less about anything let alone proper grammar is what has lead to this phenomenon of no one being able to spell or even speak properly.

Dude? Don't you have friends you hang with? Who cares who it's from. I'm a 56 year old happily married biker. I hang with LOTS of people of both genders. You start talking anything different though... and I'm gonna back away. :lol: :lol: :lol: No gender benders for me thank you. :shock:
