@Whatawebsite 😂 ikr

@Grateful4you What is going on with these people and why arent there any hospital policies against that?

@Justice4All They went along with the signs that read, "Treating your pain is our first priority" They just stopped caring about medical thics.

@Grateful4you Where I go to the doctor you have to put your phone away once you come in, and that goes for the staff, as well. I’ve seen people asked to go outside if they need to use their phone. A nurse such as the one you encountered would be risking her job.

@LadyGrace That would also be a good option. However, not to judge anyone or tell anyone how to live, but it goes beyond that. People in general are neglecting their kids, Neglecting loved ones due to social media addiction. I also think social media needs a mandatory time limit. Maybe social media can even be put on a different type of network so accessing it would require special data privileges.

@Justice4All You're so right. I was only addressing the issue at hand, though, but I totally agree. It's awful.

@Piper 😂 You may not be old enough to remember: before smartphones, we had dumb phones. We were perfectly capable of calling 911 with dumb phones.

@Queendragonfly Yes, I agree it should be. That is serious child neglect. That child could hardly walk. My city isn't that big so I'll watch the news. I'll definitely tell the cops if that baby was hit.

@Justice4All Here it's illegal to look at the phone or talk on the phone while driving. You get a Fee if caught.

@revenant Absolutely! People dont realize thy are ruining the human social experience. Married couples not communicating with each other. Most men are too busy looking at half naked women on social media they are less attracted to their wives. It's not my place to judge anyone but I'm just saying... if people limited their time on smartphones, their lives would be much happier, families would build closer ties, marriages would improve.

Our parents used to get on to us about watching too much tv, playing video games too long or talking on the phone too long. Now even older people are on their phones too much. It isn't a good thing.

@Justice4All yes. The phone is a brainwashing technology. It is sad when i see older people who try to act like 20 year olds and are stuck in their phones all the time. Very passive aggressive activity

@fakable Or hysterectomy

@Justice4All I don’t own a car. But I’m in the minority. Do you ? Some kinds of behavior can’t be fixed via legislation, unfortunately. That’s the problem we’re facing with guns, too.

@Justice4All woah woah not everyone can have a car? You do understand that no laws apply to the wealthy class. All this stuff just creates a bigger drift between classes and a lot of bad blood. Just make driving tests harder. Make the fines heavier. Just stuff that would make people drive responsibly.

Energy consumption is also an issue. Whether we are using EVs or gasoline powered engines, we are emitting enormous levels of greenhouse gases. Imagine if the rest of the world, including Africa, were creating the same level of greenhouse gas as the US and China...

The US has to be responsible. We have contributed to 30% of greenhouse emissions in the last 200 years. Recently, industrialized China has started to surpass us but per capita we maintain a larger carbon footprint.

Elon Musk and the crony capitalists aren't going to like the idea. They don't give a F about future generations. They think they are going to populate Mars and problem solved. We are rapidly depleting the earth of natural resources. There will come a time in the world where resources are going to be scarce.

For the meantime, the West robs poor nations of natural resources and leave them un-industrialized. They never want them to industrilize because it would eat into the resources we need to maintain this standard of living.
