Another tool to dehumanise us or to knock us off with radiation?

I hope the girl using that board as a sunshade knows it will go yellow then brown if she keeps that up 
Back in my day we had no entertainment, we made do with marbles an suchlike.
So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a 10 cents and in those days, 10 cent coins had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a fifty, you'd say.
Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.
You see, back in those days, rich men would ride around in Zeppelins, dropping coins on people, and one day I seen some guy flying by. So I run of the house with a big washtub and... hey! Where are you going? Anyway, about my washtub. I'd just used it that morning to wash my turkey, which in those days was known as a walking-bird.
peterM I am sure the new world order inventing them to dehumanise them appeals to you more, but I do believe that the lonng term effects of RF close to the head are of a concern. I think everyone should practise a bit of inverse square law by using the speaker function as much as possible. If you have kids please consider encouraging them to not put the phone to their head. Many brain surgeons are saying that since advent of mobile phones, the rate of certain cancers are much higher. While science can currently show now link, they couldn't prove asbestos or smoking was bad for you either. Untill they can prove what causes brain cancer they can't say that long term RF close to the head doesn't contrubute somehow.
Before mobile phones, I remember everyone used to read newspapers or books on the train.
I can't ever remember everyone sitting and chatting to each other on the way to London.
Maybe most people just don't like other people.
Brisbane trains need quiet carriages because of all the immature dxxxheads screaming their lungs off on mb phones.
My girl catch's the train near petrie to central every day. She tells me all the story's she has to listen to from idiots. Most people under 25 thinks the world is theirs for the taking and fxxk everyone else. They are rude, pushie, abusive, loud, foul mouthed, ignorant, fat, fat, did I mention fat.
She show's me stuff she video's occasionally as she knows I'll get a kick out of it.
This year I'm up to 4trips in with her - and it's a disgrace. People are not snobs or yuppie they just want to get to work and get home and not be bothered by some random clown annoying the shxt out of them..
I would proudly pay you $50 + drinks and the train cost if you could ride a train with a camera from petrie to beenleigh 4 times in 1 day and prove me otherwise. Can fix u up at Brighton. If I'm right you pay the $ and we still see the footage.
I use them all the time because its so much easier when making calls.
Line from Rihanna song....ignoring all prior advice and fore warning...is this the way you live your life kiteboy?
Who says no one talks on the train these days? It was only last month this Kiwi decided to bring a blown up sheep sex toy on the Joondalup line. That got the passengers talking.
If he was using it at the time, I can understand why people would talk. Like 'Get the f*** away from me you sick s**t!'
Some people will believe anything. Google breatharianism, I once met a chick who was into that. I doubt she's still alive. The people that believe one ridiculous thing are not the same as the people that believe another ridiculous thing, however there tend to be common traits. The internet allows people to widely broadcast ridiculous ideas. The internet allows people to easily find ridiculous ideas and support them. I could pick any ridiculous idea (Cats and Dogs mated thousands of years ago to make Wombats) and use my head to make a half-convincing argument for it. If I put this idea on the internet, there would be some suckers who would choose to believe it. Over time, these people would add to the argument, and slowly build up more 'evidence' of how cats and dogs bred wombats. More and more people would believe it and a movement would be born. More and more web sites would spring up confirming this theory, and they would all add more and more weight to the argument for believers. Unfortunately these people would still be wrong. There's no sense in the idea. If you examine the idea, nothing fits. The real scientific evidence -ie our best understanding of the world- all points elsewhere. When confronted with this truth, believers would make all sorts of claims to justify their beliefs. (it's a conspiracy, fossils were planted, blah blah) The root of the problem for these believers is generally an inability or unwillingness to apply reason to ideas. Roots might be poor education, maybe borderline personality traits, maybe deep unsatisfaction with life, or they could be perfectly intelligent and high functioning but they need an outlet or a weird side - ie "I want to believe".
