Posting a topic on the same thing wasn't enough?

I closed that topic.

A warning: If I see the same attitude here that I saw in the topic, I will be locking this entry.

Now a rebuttal; I text. I text because I can easily keep track of addresses, phone numbers and all other sorts of info easily, moreso than my poor wracked brain can handle. I can also communicate with friends of mine within a program (we aren't in the same class always) to set up study times or ask questions when you have five minutes between classes.

It is also handy to talk to parents or friends when the place you are is noisy, such as parties concerts or the like.

Granted I'm a college student, so this really doesn't apply to kids that are eight. But it is a differing opinion.

And also, if you read, you'd know that I'm talking about excessive texting (like whole what would take more then ten minutes in talking, worth of conversation...).

As I said in the topic, many people, myself included, would rather read text than talk. Even though I have the option for voice chat with my friends on gmail, I still choose to text chat.

Actually, when you think about it, calling someone is being lazy, and texting is harder. So what could be 10 to maybe 50 texts could be 5 minutes in a conversation.

And some people also text because they don't want people butting into their conversation, knowing what's their life, and maybe they just want to be quiet. And maybe someone's in class, and they want to talk to their friend.

I myself have an unlimited texting plan and I text alot, but I also call alot, too.

Does it matter? Is it one person's place to say if another's preference is "right" or "wrong?" Opinion is just that, an opinion. It does not need reasoning behind it.

What I don't get is how people text people who are IN THE EXACT SAME CLASSROOM.

I mean, seriously, can't it wait till after class?

I know, I kinda started that whole thing. That's why I reported it (I guess after you already closed it?). Sarcasm led to more sarcasm led to...yeah.

Hey! :angry:

I stand by my opinions I said in the topic. Texting was invented so teenage girls could dump their boyfriends. Simple as that.

No no no, I didn't mean that sarcasm meaning only you. I probably used sarcasm as much as you did, mate...And I agree with that statement. Even though I've seen guys use it more like that.

I only text my husband the grocery list so he has it with him at the store. He usually phones people, but will text if it's not something he needs an immediate response on.

i text a girl from another town all the time. I just dont do it during school (well, maybe study hall ) but usually i do it when i want to talk to her without waking my parents. And as many people have said, it's just easier to read a text than to call someone. Its just more convenient.
