Stryker Speaks

I apparently have some sort of obsession with Cell phones, and despite my barley contained rage in regards to ringtones or the utter disgust I feel when I am told there are more options after leaving my messgae. And although Cell phones cause me LOTS of stress and agitation, I love my cell phone.

I keep it by my side constantly, and honestly feel “naked” with out it. Well there is a small but growing group of Sanctimonious bastards who feel that it is their job, their right, and their duty to enforce “dead zones” by the use of Cell phone Jamming devices (about the size of a pack of smokes). Quotes from here

Gary, a therapist in Ohio who also declined to give his last name, citing the illegality of the devices, says jamming is necessary to do his job effectively. He runs group therapy sessions for sufferers of eating disorders. In one session, a woman’s confession was rudely interrupted.

“She was talking about sexual abuse,” Gary said. “Someone’s cellphone went off and they carried on a conversation.”

“There’s no etiquette,” he said. “It’s a pandemic.”

A Pandemic?!!??!?! Don’t you think your over stating that just slightly?

Investigators from the F.C.C. and VerizonWireless visited an upscale restaurant in Maryland over the last year, the restaurant owner said. The owner, who declined to be named, said he bought a powerful jammer for $1,000 because he was tired of his employees focusing on their phones rather than customers.

“I told them: put away your phones, put away your phones, put away your phones,” he said. They ignored him.

Here is an idea if your employees wont listen to you …. FIRE THEM !

These are 2 examples of the kind of self righteousness that is infecting American society. Americans have developed a sense of entitlement that is bad for all of us. Americans are starting to believe we have some God given right to have things go our way all the time. We are becoming a nation of whining baby’s.

If somebody is talking on their phone through a movie, that’s one thing, but at lunch, or on the bus. Get the F over yourself …..

And if you need further proof that you don’t want to be grouped with these people.

His reaction when he first discovered he could wield such power? “Oh, holy moly! Deliverance.”

Do you really want to be grouped in with the type of people that say “Holy moly” ….. I Did think so.
