| QUOTE (Mrs. Aforcer @ Oct 10 2008, 05:31 PM) | The only people that were "b'awing,' were, in fact, kids younger than me.
Also, the fact they're "little" oftentimes means they "b'aw" because their parents won't buy things for them, which I think is silly, irresponsible, and unrealistic. Now if some kid were to say something along the lines "I got a job, and it's really hard to pay for my cell phone bill, so I'm sad," then I'd be totally cool with that. AT least then they're not blaming problems they could fix themselves on their parents, who work hard enough as is (I assume) to just give their kids a somewhat happy life.
But it's the fact most kids expect their parents to buy stuff for them (as if it's some sort of obligation for parents to buy their children superfluous electronics) that disappoints me and brings me out to say such things. And I have yet to see anyone prove my assertion about "little kids" wrong, anyways.
Any one up to doing so?
It's not, bro. |
I can understand your point. I think it's pretty stupid for some ten-year-old child to baawww because his parents won't buy him a cell phone when every other kid in his class has one.

What am I not considering?
Enlighten me.
Also, I see what you did there, but you're not getting away from owing up to your insults that easily.

| QUOTE (Dracon @ Oct 10 2008, 05:45 PM) | falling in a pit is an accident
you know?
accidents?
like situations that happen without warning?
what if your arm broke? yeah have a good time climbing out while others with cell phones dial 911 |
If you valued your safety like I do, you'd look where the hell you're going.
| QUOTE | | also, just imagine how people survived 200/100 years ago with no internet, cars, electricity and other conveniences |
They survived just fine. Look at the Amish people who do not use electricity or cars. They make a living by growing and selling their own crops. That's some piss-poor reasoning, dude.
| QUOTE | | protip: you don't need a ****ing phone or other things to survive, but they sure do make your life easier |
Not really. My grandparents got along just fine without a cell phone, and I rarely depend on cell phones because I try to prevent or avoid such situations or conflicts from occuring.
| QUOTE | | tl;dr go back to arguing school |
I find this to be funny because your "argument" was extremely poor and does not convince me to get a cell phone. Again, you posted the pit scenario, which is very uncommon and does not happen everyday in the severity that you meant.

| QUOTE (Dracon @ Oct 10 2008, 06:20 PM) | | 1. yeah damn that unlucky driver who had an accident because it was dark and she got hit by another driver who wasn't being careful; just because you're careful doesn't mean nothing bad will ever happen to you |
1.) Maybe if she turned her goddamn headlights on and didn't go at excessive speeds, she would not get into such a preventable
| QUOTE | | 3. protip: you don't need a ****ing phone or other things to survive, but they sure do make your life easier |
Again, not really. My life is pleasurably easy, and I rarely use a cell phone.
| QUOTE | | 4. i'm not a phone salseman, i wasn't trying to get you to buy one |
Well, you're certainly trying to prove how necessary they are in today's modern age!
| QUOTE | | lots of accidents and danger scenarios are uncommon; that doesn't mean we shouldn't prepare for them |
True, but cell phones aren't always
| QUOTE | | so i don't need a cellphone because falling into a pit is unlikely, does that mean we should remove the medkits from my classroom because the chance of a earthquake happening is unlikely too? |
Medical kits are needed for the safety of students in case of an emergency (ex: earthquakes, fires, tonados, etc.) Cell phones are banned in most public schools because students tend to send text message or get a call during the educational process, causing disruption and a lack of learning. The cons outweigh the pros in that particular environment.
Yes, cell phones are handy dandy tools to have socially and in the case of an emergency, but you aren't going to die a horrible death if you do not possess one.
| QUOTE | | tl;dr: go back to arguing school |
i hope you realize that you're pretty terrible at arguing.
