so I find it sad (this is my nice way of putting it) that today is both talk like a pirate day and don't text and drive day, I have heard many talk like pirates and going crazy about it on facebook but have heard no one say a thing about texting and driving, this my friends is one of the MANY things wrong with people today

Every day should be "don't text and drive day".

For years I've been wanting to invent the cell phone that shuts off when you go above say 15mph or just past driveway speed. Provider companies would lobby the shit against it though.

texting isn't the only part, red lights and stop signs also seem to have been deemed optional these days

I just thought the other day that it would be cool if cars could have some sort of signal blocker, but then we'd see people texting with their arm out the car window...

I'm sure with your idea the phones GPS could monitor the speed of the individual and turn off signal, but then what about passengers??

Capitalization and punctuation are apparently optional, too.

I believe the whole concept of arbitrarily choosing days to "celebrate" whatever sort of cause is beyond retarded. Please continue, America.

So many ad agencies toss made up awareness days out there to their clients it's just silly. Topped off with some imaginary celebration in times square or whatever. In a few years every single day will actually be some dumb awareness day no one cares about.

capitalization is merely the elitist emphasizing of one letter over his lower-case brethren... for god's sake look at the germans.
They capitalize every Noun that You put in a Sentence, and look where That got Them. so score one for e.e. cummings.

punctuation, on the other hand, is quite functional and needs to be re-instated post haste.

I think we're already there. For example

Today September 20 is National Punch Day according to the Hallmark company, who clarify that they mean beverages, not fisticuffs. It's also Myelofibrosis Awareness Day and National Student Day.

Tomorrow, September 21 is International Peace Day and World Gratitude Day and Miniature Golf Day.

Sept. 22 is Elephant Appreciation Day and Dear Diary Day and Hobbit Day.

etc.

Holidays are going overboard for sure.

I don't know about you guys, but I won't even answer my phone if I'm driving let alone text. If you're driving you should focus on that, it's too easy to not pay attention for a split second, and that's all the time it takes.

When is "Get given free shit by big titty naked women day?"
I always miss that but my friend who looks like a young Harrison Ford seems to get it every day of the year.

English isn't too far behind... 'I'd like to learn Japanese starting next November'.

If your mom breastfed you then you had it like everyday.

I don't mind "Talk Like a Pirate Day" because it informs me of who to avoid for the rest of the year. Also pirates didn't even talk like "pirates" so haha.

I think I just read a story about an 11 year old who created an app to stop texting and driving.
