All that texting stuff is bullcrap
It is when people outright use it as an excuse to not talk. In my case, I only text when my girlfriend can't talk on the phone (People are eavesdropping, she's at work, etc.) or when I have something to tell someone that doesn't require a call (Such as an important point in time, something humorous, telling them I'm close to them if I'm visiting, etc.)
Personally, if someone wants to text instead of talk to the other person when a phone conversation is completely possible and more sensible, they can be my guest. What I can't tolerate, however, are these dumb starfishs that text while they're driving. Hey, your life, and the life of all of these people on the roads and sidewalks depend on everyone knowing what's going on and being able to react. When you're so self absorbed that you think looking away from the road to continue a conversation that 99 times out of 100 can wait until you get to your destination, you don't deserve to loving drive and should have your license taken the hell away from you.
