I figure that this is the best place to have a go at mobile phone users.
There are a few things that get to me about mobile users, and they are listed below:
RADIATION
--------------
The main thing that gets to me, is that fact that lethal radiation is given off by these mobile phones. The phones themselves are harmful, especially to children under 18 (as the skull is not thick enough and the radiation is not stopped before it reaches the brain) and the phone masts.
I see children going to school with the school having masts on top. Don't you think that this could be affecting the future generation of people? Is it worth the risk of having the mast on the school just for the sake of convinience? I say no! I guess that there is a reason for putting these masts on top of school. This is that the schools do not have enough money from the government so that have to endanger the health of their pupils to stay open. But that is another story.
Another think that worries me is that after the kids have been pumped full of radiaton all day, that are then phoning their parents to come and pick them up from school, say. I think that we should redesign the mobiles so that less radiation is given out.
You may be thinking that it doesn't really matter and that it hasn't been proven, but is it worth the risk? Would send your child into a place that has been said to be dangerous but not proved, NO!
NOISE
--------
Another thing that bugs me about mobile phone is that they make all kinds of annoying noises, all these ringtones that are on sale, for download get a bit annoying. I don't see why people don't just save up their money and by a walkman instead of buying low quality ringtones. The songs are poor quality when they are just a series of beeps, at least with polyphonic ring tones, the song is detectable.
I find it annoying when I am on a long train journey and manage to get to sleep spite the tremendous bumps the train makes, only to be awoken by the hellish screech of Eminems latests in 30 beeps! There should be a button to turn all mobils off at once.
Basically, I DON'T LIKE MOBILE PHONES!!!!!!

Seriously, I get your point, but surely if you can see that mast on top of the school, the parents of said children will as well and take their children to another school? No one's forcing them to send their children to that school.
As for the noise, I don't think mobile phones are bad, it's just the people who put crappy ringtones on and turn up the volume, who are the problem. Maybe they're lacking in confidence and the only way they can get attention is to let a Kit Kat sized computer do it for them, rather than take control of their life and do something worthwhile with it.
And yes, there should be a button, or a disabling function to turn off mobile phones in some areas, like trains, or at least make them operate silently.
On the flip side, advantages range from:
People stuck in traffic jams can warn other people to stay away from that road. Every radio station in the world has a road watch feature of some kind.
Saving lives. You know, out in the middle of nowhere, have an accident, blah,blah, blah.
People never seem to focus on the positive side of phones that much.
Anyway, that kinda turned into a bit of a rant. Sorry all.

phones have a lot of bad things alright, but a hell of a lot more good going for them

Yeah, I completely agree, it is people who put retarded ringtones and turn the volume up that spoil it for everyone.
And I also agree that they are useful for phoning people,
Thanks

LOL, first off, radiation is caused by heat given off from the cell phone, not from the towers or signals from towers. Second, the radiation is so minimal on most phones you would have to constantly be on it to cause any real harm. Thirdly, I would rather have a cool midi playing on my phone than some regular annoying ringtone.

What's wrong with just a brrrrinngg, brriiinnngg standard phone ring? It is a phone after all.......maybe I'm gettin' old...

everything puts off radiation...your microwave, your computer, your tv...it all causes cancer i'm sure according to some study but the again, what doesn't cause cancer these days? sure, ringtones are annoying sometimes but oh well. it's technology and it's convenient. i love my cell phone. it's nice to be able to get a hold of people and especially in the case of an emergency.

Your concerns are valid, but to date, there hasn't been any conclusive evidence showing that cellular phones cause any lasting damage to humans.
I think an item of much larger concern is EMF, as schools are typically built on cheap & unwanted land under/near power lines.
Regardless of where you are, you're being bombarded with various radio waves of weak strength all the time. However, being camped under power-lines for 6+ hours a day for 9 months a year is a much more intense concern.

Dear mr Sor(for sore fingers)X
The amount of time it took you to write that statement you
could have been outside breathing nice fresh air away from
the 'damaging to your eyesight' computer monitor. Or perhaps
the arthritis you may be getting in years for your hands,
although it is not technically proven that arthritis is actually
caused it is only suggested as it may or may not affect you.
I don't think you should be using the computer, it may be
damaging you, as you lose hours of daylight complaining about
things that you are not happy with to users online, you need
sunlight; its healthy, are you sure you should have spent that
long typing it.
Or perhaps you feel that you should have internet access
rather than those Africans, you are wealthier than they are?
You should donate something it is damaging them by locking
them out of our first world.
Or maybe the car you drive to work (if you work or drive; maybe
you just vegetate on the computer complaining), aren't your
fumes damaging our atmosphere, would you like an electric car?
--------
The point I am making is that although that was a very good
Spleen you created it is like any other spleen....exaggerated.
Lots of things cause problems, white whine can give women
breast cancer, asphestos can give you lung cancer and lots
of other stuff I need not to delve into.
Put it this way, LOTS of things are damaging to us, even if
not 'scientifically proven', but there are so many things people
can complain about that are even more worth bothering to write
about. We KNOW smoking kills people still do it...Why?, well
if you do get cancer, then ur unlucky as not all of them do, life
expectancy goes down? Not for everyone...
There u go.
