It’s one of our favorite things in the world to have an enjoyable conversation with our friends, laughing and giggling and having a grand old time. The conversation gets even better when the person we’re talking to whips out their cell phone and begins a conversation with someone completely different. Sitting there talking to someone who’s half talking to you and half talking to someone else is, of course, fun for every party. You sit there in mystery of who is on the other side of that phone, knowing that if you ask you will be dubbed a "creeper." As long as someone’s having fun right?

One more thing that really solidifies texting into my adoration column is the fact that you get to hear at least 1.5 seconds of songs over and over… and over. We love hearing songs, but more than that, we love hearing the same indistinctive seconds of them repeatedly to the point where your ears bleed. "I get high like" tap tap tap "I get high like" tap tap tap "I get high like pa…" tap tap tap. We hear this over and over in our every day lives, the beginning of the song "Paper Planes" by M.I.A and the tapping over and over again. How cute.

Just for this opinion we ran a social experiment on texting. We spread a rumor that an unnamed person was placed in the hospital for constipation. Within minutes this person received numerous "get well" texts. Thanks for the three seconds of thought for your friend’s extreme bowel problems. Texting has replaced actual thoughts of kindness for people. What used to require a visit or at least going to the store to get a card has now been replaced with the very informal and lame text. Thanks for caring guys, even if it was just for the hilarious sickness of extreme bowel constriction.

Texting has not only given people an easy way out of doing things, such as breaking up with some one or having to call your aunt and say happy birthday, but it has destroyed the English language and turned into nothing but an alphanumeric mess.

It’s a bad situation to have to peer edit someone’s work and have to deal with a sentence like this, "D@ Br!t$ w0uld h@v3 1 d@ w@r !f d3y h@d @ b3tter $tr@t3gy." How on earth is someone suppose to understand that type of sentence without some type of code sheet? (! = the letter I and $= the letter S.) Aye Chihuahua.

On a serious note, statistically everyone has a 1 out of 6,500 chance of dying in a car crash. One of the leading factors of this is the use of a cell phone and it would be a sad way to die knowing that your last words were in the form of a text that ironically read, "Aye imma be dere in a min." Texting really does ruin lives. All though you may never live to be as popular as us your life is worth living.

Now that we have actually made you think for a second, well at least long enough for you to put down your phone and stop texting. We hope. How about you pick your phone right back up and text those random multiple people you are always texting and say, "H3y y0u n33d t0 g0 g3t y0u @ R3fl3ct0r N3ws @nd r3@d wh@t the P0pul@r K!ds h@v3 t0 s@y. Y@ d!g?"
