Agreed but I do find it ironic people say texting and driving is actually more dangerous than drinking and driving, like it's causing MORE accidents than being drunk behind the wheel. And if that's true then MADD can eat that one.

Well, there's the other problem, too: "Sexting" among kids. Now I don't know how big of a problem that really is, but I'll tell you what ~ if my daughter did that she would lose her phone for a LONG time, after I gave her an butt-whoopin'!!!

Oh yeah because that is permanent and it can spread like a wildfire. The way I understand it is they don't realize the consequences to this...they go into thinking it's no big deal, well if it's no big deal why don't they put it on billboards and show the whole world freely? Why not do it in front of their parents? See? They know it's a bigger deal than they try to play it down to be otherwise they wouldn't need to hide it from people.
