This falls into the I told you so category, because we discussed this a while ago and myself and others pretty much figured this would happen.
Camera Phones
Apparently, sometimes a picture is worth more than a 1000 words, it's worth a little jail time.
I'd take it one step further.
How about a ban on ALL cell phones. Every single one of them except for police, doctors, first responders etc.
Dont know if I'd go that far Jumper. LOL!
But, there really is a HUGE difference between posing to have your picture taken in some sort of sexy way or state of undresss And having someone take that picture without your permission or knowledge of them doing so.
Gotta figure that places like Health clubs should look out for these things in locker rooms. [img]eek.gif[/img]
Y'know, it was a camera phone that caught those candid moments with sluggo. [img]wink.gif[/img]

I don't think cell phones are bad. I think that the majority of people who use them while driving are simply idiots.
Saturday morning Trav and I were behind a woman making a left turn -- cigarette in one hand, cell in the other. [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">But if the vast group of people that have them were not supporting the cell phone network, it would be prohibitively expensive to set up and maintain this network which makes it possible for police, doctors, etc. to have this incredibly powerful tool.Quote:

And I believe that any person who may be driving alone should at the minimum have one of those "no monthly fee but high per minute charges" cell phones tucked in the car for emergencies.
Also, to address the original point, over a year ago people were banning cell phones from locker rooms.
no, you bunch of geeks.
A woman that I know asked the source of it, so I did a search for it. You'd be surprised just how many people out there use it for their sig line on boards. SO there....NEITHER one of you is being original.
So, go back to talking about camera phones.
Beautiful cell phone moment:
Last night I made my karaoke solo debut, singing Andy Williams' Christmas classic, "It's the Holiday Season."
To share in this auspicious event, I used my cell phone to call my best friend Zig and his wife Scuba Sue in Coronado, California, and they listened in as I sang solo for the first time EVER!
Special moments. I have horrible stage fright, so this was a big thing. Scuba Sue gave me a 7 out of 10.
She lies. I suck.
Regardless, it reaffirms the value that cell phones have in our daily lives.

I've never really been a fan of Karaoke.
I finally broke down and got a cell phone for Christmas last year. You really can blame the phones themselves....just the rude and obnoxious people who use them. Mine is constantly on...but rarely used...hell I can go almost 2 weeks with out re-charging it.
I have to admit they come in handy for the occasional "Honey can you pick up some milk" call. It was also a life-saver when my son knocked his front tooth 3/4 the way into his gum....he was in Cincy, we were in Florida.
As for the camera phones...I really do not see an overwhelming need for them. Sure, they come in handy to document an accident or something. But other than that. Weeeelll, there was the one time a mother took a picture of the plate umpire at a baseball game.....he was showing major crack everytime he bent over the plate....the following game he had a belt on.

Hey Oldie....
You stole my sig line which I stole from JDF!!!
It was my sig line originally!!!!!! [img]mad.gif[/img]
I still have the email it came from. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
So JDF stole it from you then I stole if from JDF huh???
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Karaoke wasn't the point of my post. But thanks for sharing.Quote:

I'm sure that I wouldnt be a fan of your singing either.
In fact I heard there were dogs in the area howling all night because of it. LOL!

To get back on topic, with regards to camera phones, where does it end?
I mean now it's cameras in phones. How much is enough. When is technology more of a burden than a help?
It's bad enough that people are talking on their cell phones at all times, in all places, without regard for the privacy or annoyance of others; Or the safety of others I might add....
Nowadays it's always about "me"
Where do your rights end and mine begin? You have a camera phone and take a picture of me that I don't want taken. What recourse do I have? None!
I hate cell phones. Hate hate hate! If I had one wish in this world, I wouldn't wish for unlimited wealth, or world peace. I would wish for all cell phones to fucking disappear. Never to be reinvented.
