How about some cheese to go with y'all whine..... ::)

I like a good aged cheddar or swiss, and I prefer riesling or zinfandel.

Sounds gouda to me!

Why should I have to pay more because others are rude? That sounds a bit Socialistic to me.

I wanna go to Miami!

I suggest GO!

I'm fortunate to go to South beach/Miami on business, and I thoroughly enjoy Sprint's unlimited data plans. 

Yeah, AT&T and Verizon subscribers get yer checkbooks out

If you have not tried it before you should try Bread Cheese; it is a fairly mild cheese that has been baked/grilled to the point that it looks like a block pizza cheese that has been browned. It has a very different texture and taste that is rather earthy and well bread like.

New game to play with your friends/co workers over lunch. Everyone put their cell phones in the center of the table. The first one to grab his phone pays for lunch...

During our yearly company meetings one thing they are very serious about is not having your phone ring during meetings or company dinner functions as you will pay a fine of 50.00 which is a contribution to the Open Bar Tab.

This year the Owner's daughter set him up and called his phone while he was giving one of his speeches during the big awards dinner....

Ya also don't want to be late to meeting or required dinners either as there is a 50.00 per minute fine with a 500.00 cap which is again thrown into the open bar tab.

Gee, if I get caught with a cell phone at work, I face disciplinary action up to, and including, termination.   :o

When I teach a class with my wife-EMS/nursing-anyone caught with a cell phone is automatically asked to leave the class and its an automatic failure of the whole class, they must sign an agreement to this before taking the class. Folks were texting answers to others on break and were taking pics of test questions and texting them to others. A national organization was thrown into a whole revamp of all their established tests because of this.

Technology will always be one step ahead of the law according to history. 

New technologies will cause laws/rules to be changed till the end of time.

Ignore your cell phone and be in the moment, actually experience life in front of you.

Bear in mind, I am saying this from my office PC.

It has nothing to do with being rude and everything to do with being penalized for others actions. You shouldn't have to pay a fine because someone else broke the law and I shouldn't have to pay a higher phone bill because someone else is rude.

You are correct cholla, but I won't tolerate rudeness, I don't need a law for that. But, when rudeness becomes intolerable for a majority of people, a law will be passed that affects everyone.
