They need to research this? Isn't it kind of obvious?
I find people who are on the phone a lot- messaging or whatever tend to be the worst at real conversation. They're the boring people at the table.

More concerned with wealth and image then ethics? I hope so, call me when ethics puts me in a lambo and provides a roof over my familys heads. Posted via RS Mobile |

Trust me, the reason why texting is more popular than calling is because it's unobtrusive. It's up to the receiver to decide when he/she will respond. Too bad you find it rude that they'd rather talk with someone else because trust me, if a guy or girl would rather talk/be with you, they WILL ignore texts until at a later (more convenient) time.
So in context of manners and respect, I guess it depends how important you are to the other person or who you are to the person. Quote:

Great conversationalists, entertaining people are great/fun to interact with no matter what medium you interact with them with.

I text like 20 times a day and though that was a lot. Mind you they are usually long, not "LOLZ, OMGS" etc.

People with personality can interact in any medium...I agree with that. I'm talking about the cunts that are at a party, dinner, that have their face buried on the phone updating their status, checking in on 4square and instagraming their food and hashtaging the living daily lights out of one specific event. #fork #spoon #steak #sundayfunday.
Fuck that.

I must be pretty deep, 'cause I can't text worth a damn. One sentence would take me forever, so I don't. I'd rather tell a person to fuck off in person.

Trust me, I know exactly what you're talking about. But that's not really a "text-message/mobile phone" issue.
Even before the days of cellphones, smartphones, there will always be people in parties, clubs, functions who are always just standing around at the side because of their inability to mingle. Nowadays there are still those kinds of people but they at least they now have the benefits of a cellphone; back then, we had nothing other than just "be that awkward guy". |
