+ 10 to legmann. The rest of you are too blinded by your phone toys and what you can do with them to see the other examples included in my rant to tie everything together.
Be honest, you once handed me a (homemade) pamphlet about Jesus by Yonge and Dundas, didn't you?

Legmann: YOUR expansion on a ridiculous rant by a man who hates 'selfies' and young people (presumably) is logical, it does not, however validate the nonsense of old man rotary phone

I blame internet. We wouldn't have to hear about people's complaints, rants, problems if it wasn't easily accessible now.

So these losers with their smart phones come upon a couple fighting on the street. First the man crashes his car in the hopes to kill them both but when that does not work he chases the woman and tries to kill her before kiling himself via stabbing. The idiots instead of trying to help the women decide to stand there and film it?!!

What the fuck!!!

Fuck this generation obsessed with their smart phones and then using said devices to fame whore themselves. I'm geting sick of these people thinking filming everything everywhere they go just because their phones have a camera or vid player. I had a feeling this shit was gonna happen back in the early 2000s when i was in a ttc bus one nite and a kid just walked up to the driver and asked: "Can i take your picture?" The driver i remember said no and i remember the pissed look he had on his face. I started thinking to myself back then.. 'it's goona get alot worse once most of thse phone have cameras in them..' And lo and behold shit has hit the fan thanks to the sites like twitter and instagram being available.. There was a women recently that blogged about her eating nothing but Starbucks for a whole yr.. and just this week another stupid idiot blogged about her giving birth at home, putting her pics of the birth online. Another loser draws on bananas. All these peole hope to accomplish at the end of the day is to draw attention to themselves in the hopes of that 15 min of fame for doing something stupid.

Don't get me started on 'selfies'. Posting pics online of what you're about to eat or drink or what you're about to buy or bought just because you can and for some stupid reason think anyone cares is just idiotic.
Don't give them the attention then.

There are way too many idiots, morons, douchebags in this world. Don't lose sleep over it.

Do you get it now?
I always got it. If you actually read what i wrote i agreed that Smartphones can be abused but i stated that the OP's examples were not on point.

What's the use of making an argument and producing evidence that argues against your own point?

Both the OP and the buddy that defended him need to go back to high school and learn how to frame an argument.

I agree that not everything should be filmed or a pic taken but what's wrong with including a picture of a gourmet dinner at a fine restaurant and using it as your BBM display pic or including a pic in your profile or avatar?

@GPIDEAL - Don't bother, logic, proportionality and reason are not exactly the hallmarks of 'Grampy Ed"

I think you guys have missed the point. This incident is one example, not the whole argument. How about idiots who film someone drowning without trying to help? How about the very real people who film dying victims of a car crash without calling for help?

Do you get it now?
oh we are making up things now? can i join?

Yes but what if someone followed you on the street and recorded your every move? There is such a thing as phone etiquette and personal space.
