> And if you're banning things that are inconsiderate, I'd like to humbly suggest one of the most inconsiderate acts possible: banning others from doing things the banner doesn't approve of.
Sorry, those suggesting those banning were already banned.
And the ones doing the banning were also banned. /Oblg. apologies to Monty Python.

Well, then I suppose I could have soup while driving in Alberta. It's not a meal, after all.
Stay away from the Campbell's Chunky Soup. You know, the soup that eats like a meal.

Banning texting in cars makes no sense if the "texter" is not the "driver".
You should write to your local congressperson (or whoever makes laws in your country) and alert them to this, just in case they make such a law without taking your point into account. Also point out that they shouldn't ban you from texting in a car if it's parked. And to make sure that "cars" includes trucks, SUV's, etc. And that it's still texting if you are wearing a hat. And that the law applies to people over the age of 75 too. And make sure those little car rides you find in shopping centres are excluded from such laws. And they need to clarify the situation where you are outside the car but leaning on it while you are texting.
Anything else really really obvious that I might have missed?

"What I really need is a decent totally hands-free text-to-speech and speech-to text texting system."
Uhm, at that point aren't you just making a hands-free phone call? Like, seriously?
But you can't lie or embellish what you're doing if the person on the other end of the phone experiences it with you.
My concern is that a speech-to-text texting system will start sending texts out while I'm yelling at other drivers, singing waaaaay off key or even practicing my lies as to why I'm late again.

When my GF asks if that dress makes her look fat, I give an honest answer: "No". I do omit that the dress has nothing to do with it.
