Obnoxious mobile phone calls are irritating enough. I can't begin to imagine idiot two-way conversations. Well, apart from the ones that surrounded the dispatching of jobs to cabs in the 80s/90s, I suppose.
Hey, did you get the best of CCC stuff from our mutual friend? It really is very, very good.
Sadly, I have to admit to having a Nextel phone myself for about a year and a half. I always HATED the two-way feature which Nextel basically forces you into because it's an unlimited-usage feature of their service. I was so glad to be rid of that evil, evil phone.
I did grab the CCC thing but I downloaded it to my home computer for the sake of expedience. Based on your sterling recommendation I shall have to check it out. Maybe I'll FTP into my machine and grab it tonight.
do you know many vegans? i know online it's easy to find the extreme-annoying-vegan-militant types, but i know many vegans who are overwhelmingly not pretentious and have not chosen the diet to be trendy, you know? i really think it's one of those cases of the obnoxious minority causing problems for the smarter majority. a thoughtfully planned vegan diet may not be better than a diet that includes meat, but it can definitely be as nutritious.
The reality is that, a vegan diet does not sufficiently provide enough of the nutrients that a human being needs without supplementing it artificially with pills. Being that there is no GOOD nutritional reason to go to the extreme of being vegan (full lacto/ovo/meat prohibition) the stance is usually a moral one from genuine concerns like the inhumane treatment of animals in modern husbandry to ludicrous notions about how meat eating contributes to world famine. Simple vegetarianism I can understand, but going to the extreme of eschewing all animal products is typically founded on a moral principle that doesn't hold water any way you look at it, and that's the part that irks me.
sorry, i just realized that sounded a bit harsh. i guess i just get annoyed with people who get annoyed with vegans because i dunno, they're not doing anything wrong, they're not harming anyone (maybe themselves, but whatever, personal responsibility, etc). there are a lot of religious and political beliefs that i feel are lacking in basic logic, but because veganism is ultimately rooted in basic, good stuff (don't hurt the animals! the meat industry is fucked up!), it is at the very very bottom of political causes i would get irked by.

I like meat!
I don't like dead animals
But I like meat!
I can't wait until you get rid of Tom. I've never seen someone with such a soul-less personality.
