Stem Cell Use?
 I don't see what
the fuss is all about. If I am in a restaurant seated
with my party, we are going to have a conversation,
right? And at the table next to us the party should be
having a conversation going too. And at the table next to
them, and to them, and so on. It's not like it's a
library. So why on earth would someone from another party
give a CRAP if I have a separate conversation on my cell
phone??
Let's be realistic here. I am not bothering anyone if I
am talking to someone at my table, so why do people get
in a huff if I talk on my cell phone? What friggin
business is it of theirs? I don't start talking louder or
anything.
If anyone in my party objects, I will gladly end my phone
call. Generly my conversations are short, and no one I
have dined with has ever found me to be cell-phone-rude.
I was at a BINGO game a couple of weeks ago, and at the
start of the session the caller asked that players stay
curtious and remain quiet during play because it disturbs
other player. She went on to mention that this included
cell phone use. The room exploded in applause. I was
offended. Many players sit and strike up friendly banter
with their seated neighbors. A hushed, brief,
conversation on my cell phone (set to ring on
vibrate...oooooh!!) wouldn't have been any louder than
the other conversations around me.
I think people just don't have anything to complain
about, so they find things to worry about. Lighten up
people! Go worry about people cutting the "Under
Penalty Of Law, Do Not Remove" tags from pillows or
something.
