I'm about 50/50, I never feel guilty about calling in because I don't abuse the sick time I'm given. However, if I have a deadline near I'm probably going in unless it is really bad. Overall, it is kind of rude to come to work sick.
The interesting thing is the difference between when I worked in food service vs. working as a professional. In the food service industry they are always shorthanded and it annoys managers when people call in. They would rather have you at work sick and handling people's food than calling in.
