In a Plain, I can't think of a more insane thing to do. its too tight spaced and people need their peace]]>May 21st 2008 9:25AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/21/survey-74-of-us-americans-say-no-to-in-flight-calling-yes-to/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/21/survey-74-of-us-americans-say-no-to-in-flight-calling-yes-to/
I recall this one lady on my bus who talks LOUDLY into the phone and she won't quiet down or stfu even when asked politely. And she's gotten into arguments about it w/ several people. I'm waiting for someone to snatch her phone and toss it. I suspect it will happen if it hasn't already.

All too often I find that people who yack on the phone constantly seem to have no sense of courtesy.

I think a talking area would be nice of the airlines to provide, but the simple constitutional fact of the matter states clearly that whether you personally like it or not is not one of the criteria for this law. If the FCC lifts the rule, and I want to talk next to you about my bowel movements, that's my business. If you don't like it, so what. There is no ban against being offended.

Americans, you don't get to Cherry Pick your freedoms. The amount of people I hear these days who think their personal feelings and preferences need to be drilled in as law is both frighting and, ultimately, self-destructive.]]>Aug 1st 2008 4:25PM
