I just sent my 1st text message

I'm sure he very much understands that an only an idiot would make the argument that text messaging was a main stream world trend back in the 1990s. It wasn't. Since it wasn't a main stream global trend (as it is now), it was rare. Ipso facto, you're wrong and trying to twist words around to make your internet ego further inflated.

Strawman again. Nobody said main stream. Nice of you to now change it to the 90s.

Global trend. Are you sure you wanna go there?

Iphones are rare. 1/12 of america has them. RARE, RARE, RARE.

Weasels ripped my flesh.

The man in the crush on the metro yesterday, threatened to chew his arm off waiting to get home to have some food. He was hot enough I almost offered my arm. Instead we got into a conversation about World Bank projects and what we'd BE having for dinner by now if things were normal. Like socializing in a mosh pit. I can't wait til they figure out what went so horribly wrong.

Do you guys realize what you are arguing about? And that nobody cares.

I'm sure you can find something better to pick on partial about.

They still haven't figured out what went wrong yet?

You have it all wrong. I'm not arguing..it is an experiment to see how long/far he will spin.

They THINK it might have something to do with a faulty sensor. Either way, they're running the trains a little less than 10 minutes apart and at a top speed of 38 mph. (they used to run about 2-5 minutes apart at 59 mph) Add in that yesterday there was some mechanical difficulty (not unusual) that had trains in both directions sharing a track and it's a recipe for losing all semblance of personal space. If all the guys (including the one who stepped on my toes) looked like the hottie, I wouldn't mind so much. Then again, considering the stop we got on, there's only a 50% shot he's straight anyway...

Sounds like a great way to get to work. Nothing personal, but I'm glad I don't have to look forward to your normal commute, much less the current one.

Sorry to hear that things are so rough for you right now.

Well, today I had to go to an area of town with no metro service (GASP!) so I drove and got to sit in a traffic jam with music and several square feet of my own personal space (that said, there were no cute guys to commiserate with and often I can get some things done on the train--just not this week).

It's not so bad and the job is totally worth it.

Iphones are rare. 1/12 of america has them. RARE, RARE, RARE.

Absolutely are rare. No doubt about it. Same with text messaging prior to the year I listed

Seriously dude, P, Ty was/is right....you were talking about text phones in general as being rare....Maybe peeps text hella now, but I know (did myself with many buds) text was prevalent in 1999, just not as fluent. Where are you going with this? Peeps text more now, but your original point was that peeps with access/phones were rare before 2006. WTF are you spewing? It's entertaining to hear you post though.

LOL, not at all. Said welcome to 2006 after Skin said he made his first text. Then, said texting really took off in 2006. How can this possibly be disputed? Some of you guys will argue over anything and it's truly ridic. I just need to learn to turn the other cheek and not waste my time...

Look, normally I want to beat partial with a big stick covered in dogshit as much as the rest of you guys. But in this case he's got a point - he was simply commenting on the exponential growth of texting over the last few years. Maybe he wasn't polite about it, but come on do we really need to argue about everything?

And snake my man, what the hell? You come in to a 10 page thread arguing semantics over the meaning of the word "rare," and then talk about how texting is more "fluent" in 2006 than in was in 1999????

I think you've confused turning the other cheek with spreading them.
