Would Life Be Better With No Phones?

[curling]

Think about it most of the stress you receive is from the phone. Somebody got cancer or the IRS calling you to stress you out. Or people just bothering in general when you are trying to chill in the crib. I mean I bet there was less stress before the "phone" days. And now we even carry them little intrusive suckers with us.

I rarely even answer mine.
I hate the phone.

 

[WODIN]

I never answer my phone.

I think life would be better without people.

It's the people that use the phones..... so I think we should keep the phones, but get rid of all the people.

... except for me, of course....

.... and my family..... and some extra hot babes....

...yeah, but all the other people should just go away.

Damn! I agree with every post here!

 

[toga22]

I am all for it....

There is nothing worse than waking up to a phone call with a recorded message saying:

"Please stay on the line for this very important message" Telemarkerters need to be shot...

Gin, first your idea seems pretty cool. Second, after noticing your sig tell us how you really fell about our favorite liberal clinton supported RyanH.

Life would be better if everyone smoked herb on an hourly basis.

I think phones that could only make OUTGOING calls would be great...

That way, I could call the Police, Fire Dept or Domino's when I needed them and no one could call me with some BS.

I agree phones suck..

I don't know what you're talking about curling

Those are simply quotes from other people in my signature..... you know, kinda like Y_Lifter's quote of the moment.

When I lived in the Virgin Islands we didn't have a phone. Nor a TV for that matter.

Didn't mind not having a phone at all. Until the day I found out my Dad had cancer. My mother was calling all over the island trying to track me down. Anyplace she could think of, including the police (who aren't much help for anything down there). It was the worst feeling in the world. The have to try and find out what was going on and make arrangements to get home before his emergency surgery.

So there are down sides to not having them as well.

i agree that life would be a little more simple without a phone but then again we wouldn't have the slogan PHONE HOME! which is made special from a little brown terd from outerspace.

well communication is the key to just about everything... although I have to chime in on this issue just to vent.
Imagine how much simpler relationships would be without mobile communication. I.E. the introduction of pagers and cell phone....
