I hate cellphones
I do. I’m sure that Carebear will heartily agree, our husbands have been bickering over which is better android or iPhone. and Honestly I can tell you I don’t give a flying rats. Carebear and I usually sit across from each other and say “Blah blah blah” while they talk. Seriously, we say blah blah blah.
We dont’ mind (or at least I don’t) mind technical talk…. most of the time. I mind technical arguments. those are annoying. I’m just saying that when two geeks (any two geeks) sit down and argue if Picard or Kirk is better or WHATEVER, i’m sick of it. I dont’ want to hear your argument. I don’t want to hear why something else sucks. I just want to enjoy something that’s good. Why can’t we just be happy and enjoy life and the good things in it?

I think the problem really is that I’m NOT arguing that the iPhone is better. I’m not even making an argument against Android. The core of my argument is that they are both valid choices with advantages and disadvantages that will appeal to different people. There’s no right or wrong choice; just buy what you want and let everyone else do the same.
Scott takes Apple hatred to a religious level. I just want him to chill the freak out and have a little respect for people who happen to have different opinions than his own. In his world it seems intelligence is a measure of just how closely your thoughts align with his thoughts. It’s a real deuche-bag attitude to have, and frankly, yeah I’m sick of all the snarky little jabs, belittling comments, and downright insults he’s constantly throwing around (and I’ll admit that my responses haven’t really been above this level either)
I don’t take it personally, but I also find myself compelled to respond (even to the point of complete absurdity) when he’s acting like a 12 year old pointing his finger at people (who are otherwise minding their own business) and calling them ignorant naive retards who lack the intelligence sufficient to tie their own shoes let alone make an informed purchase of a damned cell phone.
So yeah, it’s the stupid, smug, aloof, immature, mocking attitude that’s really on trial here. I couldn’t give two flying hugs about what OS he’s using (i’ve said over and over that I really really don’t care) but I would probably engage him in an argument over the color of coal dust if I thought it would be mentally stimulating or, at the very least, entertaining.

I like Scott 🙂 I like debating with Scott. Is that so wrong?
At least someone reads my blog.
And I think he sees what you say as attacking him on occasion. At least that’s the impression that I get.
I don’t really care what you “debate” about. You guys may not really feel the tension or feel upset or whatever after it’s done. For those of us who are emotional sponges, it kind of wreaks havok on me. I don’t particularly enjoy it.
I suppose as long as you can debate like grown ups and such, maybe you guys should learn a little parlimentary procedure and we could have a lincoln douglas debate? CRAZY. Also In debate, you are actually NOT allowed to look at your opponent. Odd right?
I don’t hate cell phones. I do hate this:
“but I would probably engage him in an argument over the color of coal dust if I thought it would be mentally stimulating or, at the very least, entertaining.”
What’s the point? Crazy husband…
That is the sound of my non-commentary. I’d like to spend some time defending myself against some of the ludicrous charges levied in the above comment, but I said I was done on my blog and I’m sticking to that.
