You know what is awesome? It is text messages.

We text threw out the work day, alot. If I could sit on the phone I would.

At night if I am occupied, in the gym, at supper where ever texting is easy to do and does not distract from my conversation with my co workers.

When we both have time though we sit on the phone. When I am at home like this week here, we see each other as schedules go.

But I do not get the superficial comment, why would a relationship be superficial if they text?

I LOVE text messaging and I think that anyone who hates text messaging has major issues, I mean really. WHAT is your hangup man?

Just kidding. I was just feeling contrary.

I love them - got into it when I "got in trouble" once the kids were in college and would call when they were in class and they forgot to turn off their phones!!

I don't like long ones - just short clips.

My husband never did do them and still doesn't - doesn't respond to emails either. 44 - you would think he was 84!!!

My wife had an emotional affair through texting.....yes I have issues and my perspective is very skewed. Should learn not to make judgments in this state. Mental note taken.

Hey if texting is your thing fine. It's my opinion and I have a right to it. There was a time when there was no such thing. I think there has to be a balance. I much rather talk face to face or on the phone.

Well hold whatever opinion you want, all I asked was a question on your opinion about generalizing a group of people.

Your choice to voice it and not explain it I guess

I'm waiting to get the 5 text messages so I can take a nake picture...

If it was possible it is making us a country of people who now really can't spell to save themselves.

ZXJ you can always take it, you just cant send it until the 5th text

thanks for the clarification (shedding clothes off)

In reality, I don't like texting much. I rather hear the voice and I like the the personal/human touch. You can be more expressive with a voice.

me too

I don't mind texting - it can be fun, but it does have a time and a place.

Texting is no way to try to have a relationship with someone - especially when you're first getting to know someone in a dating scenario.

I had been out a couple times with a man with whom I went to high school and had re-established contact through MySpace. We went for drinks once, coffee another time... conversation was good and I thought there was something there that perhaps would go somewhere. He had called me the first time to arrange when/where we would meet, but I NEVER heard his voice again. He texted and texed only. I had tried to call him a couple times and left voice mail messages and he responded by texting. I never agreed to go out with him again. I don't want a relationship OR a friendship that exists only in text!

Well to make defense into my texting.....I do it because I write my feelings better than I say them.
But I do agree it has made our society nuts! In fact most of our tech. has made our society less face-to-face and nice.
I can still remember as a kid of tea time....my mother used to visit with her nieghbors. Now, do we really know our neighbors anymore? Do we really care of other people and want to get to know them?
