Why do you think cell phones are so popular? Because people like being able to communicate anywhere.
If you think a cheap piece of shit like that will impede societal progress, you're insane.
Instant communication is a panacea.
I need my phone to be in contact, or simply be available to my friends and family because I say I need to be.
It's none, absolutely none!, of your businees impeding my right to talk to anyone.
I do happen to be a very respectful cell user, becuase my parents raised me right, not because you think I should be.
I also use the speakerphone in my car, so kiss my hinie on that one too!
While I'm at it I say this: this device is for people without the balls to ask some dickhead to stop using the phone in an inappropriate area. The movies, yea, grab your balls and say "hey, turn off your PHONE!" You'll get applause.

I'm glad you thought of both sides here, a little bit.
If that annoying teen is in a public place, the mall, the restaurant, the fast food joint, it's none of you're business. You're in public. There are people who don't have to mold thier lives to your desires. Develop a coping mechanism.
About the pining lover. Not that I'm prone to having such discussions in public areas, but if I had to, and you had a problem with it we'd be fighting.
You have no right to prevent me from talking to my wife. We have very different schedules, and it's not your place to decide when I can tell her I love her.
I see you make mental exceptions for what you define as emergencies, but I'm afraid I don't feel you deserve that power over my choices, especially with some chickenshit jammer.
That's why I use my phone in a polite manner, so dipshits won't go overboard and start treating cell users like smokers (which I also happen to be). IE: Like subhumans.
Since we're on the subject, how bad would you feel if someone missed a call letting them know thier parent in the ICU was finnally going to die. They missed that call because you can't handle being out in public. Wow, I hope you're worth it.
I guess I say cell users better know how to be respectful, becuase those that can't speak up to protect themselves eventually go the chicken route with products like this.
