We talked to each other around the dinner table when I was growing up.

That''''s shortsighted. Cell phones can save lives. Unless you plan on being with your kid 24 hours a day, seven days a week, being able to communicate with your kids is vital. Also, kids need to learn some self-reliance and not be monitored like inmates. Because those kids are eventually going to move away from home and that''''s too late to start learning how to "fend for themselves".

We survived without cell phones when I was a kid. Of course, we did not have computers, internet or cable TV either. It did not adversly affect my ability to fend for myself. Your arguement is nonsense rafter.

Unfortunately, most are.

BUT, I met a Christian once who actually had a sense of humor

[codymac41]

I wonder if old people send naughty pictures with those "Jitterbug" phones. I heard Cher has one. You know whe sends naughty pictures

Not all Christians are narrow minded pinheads

Excellent point. If I remember correctly, the big push for people to get their kids cell phones was after 9/11. School here that had forbidden cell phones decided kids could have them in case of emergency, but they had to be kept in backpacks or bookbags, turned off.
