Nope, never. I always put off my cell phone while driving. If someones gotta reach me he/she can SMS me. Also, using a cellphone while driving is a punishable offense where i live(that means its banned =P).

I agree that people using mobile phones do behave like snobs sometimes but I am glad I am not one of them. And you cant just categorize people using cells as rude =P

1) Just never use it while driving.
And I'm also still uneasy about the whole tumour thing...

I was always a rude mofo. Owning a cellphone didn't make me any ruder. Tongue However, a lot of people do get this shiteating arrogance when they own a cellphone for the first time. Here in PR, it's illegal to drive with a cellphone in your hand...so what do you do? You get a headphone, of course. That also eliminates the thought that cellphones just might cause tumors in the brain (this has yet to be confirmed, afaik).

Thats great =P. Which model is it?

Nek, Zack, the way i look at it is, if without the usage of cellphone 1 in a 100 people get tumor(say) then when the study was conducted suppose 2/3% people got tumor. This doesnt prove *anything*.

There are no conclusive studies that prove that cellphones cause brain tumors. There is only that one idiot doctor who's trying to sue the cellphone industry by blaming his own bad health problems on them. However, using cellphones while driving is always a health risk, because it is way too easy to cause an accident while driving and talking on a cellphone, since one of your hands is being taken and your attention is divided between driving, talking, and holding the phone. The headset's a safer thing to do while driving, but even that's still illegal in many places.

Well, anything can cause a tumor. Of course the cigarette I just finished, the gum I am chewing, pot, coffee, not pissing when you need to, or walking everyday home under high-voltage wires. I am just not concerned. I know I will die from a cancer, as 80% of people do. So I just live happy Big Grin

No, I won't accept dying from cancer.
I'm not *that* concerned about the tumour thing...I'm just uneasy. The real thing that worries me is that people still talk while they drive. It's not illegal here. Sad
And, while biking, I've almost been run over about 3 times by cellphone users, and my dad actually *was* run over on his bike by someone talking. Just goes to show.
