I talk on my cell phone and text while driving daily, and I've been in nine accidents. Not during a single one of those accidents was I even touching my cell phone.Quote:

Also, there are many other blogs and smaller news links that support the same thing. Texting is worse than drunk driving, and is now taught in many driver's education courses complete with the gory videos that show corpses pulled from cars still clutching their phones.
NINE accidents? Jesus Christ. Someome somewhere needs to revoke your license.Quote:

Biggest ripoff? This thread. In GC I expect lulz, and all I get in this thread is srs bzns.
(which i assisted with)
So you're a special case, just like I am then? I'm a guy and yet I don't act like I own the road.Quote:

The first time my sister was out in car she drove it into the medium.Quote:

The problem here is that you have a sample size of about 3-5. Cuchi has a sample size of 3000-50000Quote:

Sorta like how the Canadian Gov't said they'd put more money into post-secondary education. What do they do instead? Don't put more money into it and cut back taxes, meaning there is now less money going into the government so they can't even put more into education.
Then again, either way you are gonna pay. :/
Biggest rip off: credit cards. A vicious and endless cycle.
Another good ripoff, inspired by various posts in this thread: Text messages. 9p for a small text, or pretty much the same thing for a phonecall that would cover about 20 text messages? Hmmmmm.
I have 3000 free texts per month. I usually use maybe three or four of them though.Quote:
