Comment by once banned twice shy on April 28, 2010 at 9:49am: Yeah, I'm sure everyone will abide by that "no calling/no texting" on April 30th. Just like they do every day. I see more and more people texting while driving. Scares the living daylights out of me. What is WRONG with people?

Comment by Bluegoo on April 28, 2010 at 10:03am: I would like to know who made 3 letters per key for texting on most cellphones.
Give humans a real keyboard with 1 letter per key. Not that you sould type and drive at the same time heeh

Comment by jeff on April 28, 2010 at 10:20am: i'm holding out for the dvorak smartphone, so i can text EVEN FASTER.

Comment by Barelas Babe on April 28, 2010 at 12:00pm: I have no interest in consanguineous marriage myself, but I think that it will be interesting to see what effect genetic screening might have on this - my understanding is that previously this was one way of using social control to reduce the number of people with genetic disabilities, especially those from recessive genes. Hmmm, this could be a fun summer project for local bioethicists. Anyone want to join me?
