I just sent my 1st text message

[SkinBasket]

I just need to learn to turn the other cheek and not waste my time...

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

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.

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

Only in your world is 100 million rare.

It is RARE compared to 80 billion, which is the point.

that isn't what you stated in the beginning.

Sorry, but 100 million to 80 billion doesnt' make 100 million rare. You need to learn english.

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 don't get your rip. What are your talking about Falco?

flu·ent (flnt)
adj.
1.
a. Able to express oneself readily and effortlessly

It's easier to text now than then (1999) with the new textpads, etc. It is more FLUENT now. Just don't get it yo. What's the rip/so funny with fluent? Text has been around for a decade...harder to do back then, but definitely not rare...it was harder to do, but definitely not RARE. That was the whole point. Peeps did it and do now. Partial's arguement had to do with numbers/if anybody texted in the 90's. I said yes, we did. It was harder to do, but many did it. Much more do now more FLUENTLY.

[Partial]

much more do it now period. 100 million in America to 80 billion. As is... 800x more.

You're trying to pass off a nearly 10x increase per user as nothing. That is just flat out crazy.
