when someone does not wanna owe a cellular phone

what does it mean to you when someone does not wanna owe a cellular phone? I do not know what it really means to u are to me but it surely isnt a good sign especially not in the new mellinium don't ya think

I mean why would nt wanna have a cell phone unless u have some wierd thoughts in your head like people spying on you and shizzle but not wanna have contact when the rest of the world is kinda ###$ up man

I haven't owned a mobile phone in almost 2 years and I enjoy not having one.

People call my landline if they would like to chat and I don't have to worry about minutes or data usage. I don't have to worry about my child getting her hands on a mobile and racking up all kinds of usage fees or accidentally calling the police over (and she has done this before with someone else's "smart" phone).

I never liked texting because it takes away the full communication experience. It's hard to tell a person's mood by reading text alone; at least when you're speaking with them you can hear their tone of voice and hesitations.

Then, of course, I simply do not enjoy knowing the lack of privacy cell phones carry. You don't have to be paranoid to appreciate that the capacity to be spied on is of real concern.

ok I understand ur point of view


but I feel some people do it to runaway from problems or something of that nature but I mean it is what it is everyone with their style but you cant claim Im the one hard to find when ur are the one not owing a cellular phone I know their are many more than one reason people do this but I really hate it when people do it to isolate themselves from the rest of the world and yeah if u have a phone and u dont even pick it up is even worse

That's an extremely recent point of view. 20 years ago people didn't walk around with their phones always in their hand or in their pocket all the time. It's ridiculous how attached we've become to them. They are not necessary to survival.

well ok I dont know what to say you are probably right but just like cars or vehicles were also not everybody used them a long time before


but nowadays u would have ride a car just to breathe or would u find it normal forsomeone to walk 4 kilometers?

I also don't have a car, so guess I'm a weirdo Everything is within walking distance where I am.

It's all a matter of personal preference. I know some people who can't do without modern conveniences. I prefer to do without. Not to try and isolate myself, but because I find it healthier and less stressful.

No car? No cell phone? And everything's close by? You're living my dream life, ladyswan.

Small town with a slow pace of life. This is the type of environment I need to stay mentally healthy. It does get rather boring at times but it sure beats being annoyed & aggravated all the time because of the constant stimuli found in cities.

I dont have a car either that means I depend on public tranportation and thats sucks around here but in big countries u can live without cars and still fuction perfectly like u can use a bik a train tram bus or whatever but for me foot is on feet is not an option I wanna keep for the rest of my life

I have a crap car and cancelled my cell phone. Cells seem pointless for people not going long distance where there is a risk of breaking down in a desert or snow storm, although cells are always definite back up.
I don't text and I think at the rate I get to IMing, foruming, and emailing it is probably cheaper for me to communicate by internet. I'm generally at home so it makes sense.

It isn't that common to need a cell at a grocery store so I don't really see much of a point in that full time phone bill for two minutes at Target. Watches work well for meeting up too.

Also, it doesn't seem cooler to me to do something like have a phone just because the billions of bots that can afford the phone receive their in factor message of "I want a cell phone." I think they are the weird, and annoying, ones.
