  • Search "The Unmeasurable Unit." It's a good video that addresses the issue of Texting and Driving too. Its just sad that this happens

  • OOOHHHH SHIT!!! Will Hill. Hahaha just picked a random video to watch and I see an old friend. Sorry just got really surprised.

  • for me, I'm addicted to checking my text messages and replying them. So when I'm studying or talking to someone, I'll feel the urge to check it. This has impeded life in many ways. The quality of my life has gone down. I fact, now I hate checking my text caue I might get a message from someone that I don't wana get from.. So I asked my mum to keep my phone for 3 weeks but I'm not sure how well that will go for I may need my phone for emergencies/people needing to contact me.

  • @theteenagegirl It's just a message on a phone, don't let it be a bother.

  • What is wrong with a dumb ass teenage football superstar having people in the world who want to help him be the best he can be in what he is best at? These kids will never be science nerds who cure cancer, so lets at least be able to watch a great game while we are dying from cancer. No kid who ever gave a fuck about english class ever went on to make something famous and positive about themselves or to share it with us!

  • wow head coaches texting kids WHILE THEY ARE IN CLASS? WTF?

  • lol lonely ass coaches texting male students all damn day SMH

  • My name is Kiki, and i was raped before i died. I use to enjoy pain and now i inflict it upon people. I was tortured and raped untill i could no longer breathe. Those meanies now suffer and die, and those who do not repost this to 5 videos will die too. i hate this 2 but i believe

    At the strike of 12AM, those who did not repost this will die a horrible death after seeing a bloody face covered with long black hair. Those who repost this will get a kiss from their crush

  • Why is it always the thing someone does,and not the person?I text and i dont care,its not like it took over my life!

  • The problem is the fuckin Cry babys who bitch and moan when u don't text them back... its like socially frowned upon to not text back asap... i don't give a shit personally.... if u text me ill text u when i got time or when i feel like it... besides... how tha fuck do they know if u read it or not :p lol

  • DO AWAY WITH TEXTING ALL TOGETHER..EVERYONE CAN TALK..AND I'M 45 YEARS OLD AND DIDN'T HAVE TO HAVE TEXT GROWING UP SO IT ISN'T (THAT) IMPORTANT !!!!

  • @SuperAceey oh man you're about a zillion years old ! you dont know anything ! and i'm even older so i really dont know a thing. ain't it beautiful the shit we've created today !

  • DO AWAY WITH TEXTING ALL TOGETHER..EVERYONE CAN TALK..AND I'M 45 YEARS OLD AND DIDN'T HAVE TO HAVE TEXT GROWING UP SO IT ISN'T (THAT) IMPORTANT !!!!

  • TURN OFF YOUR PHONE ( PS your paying for all those messages -- oh wait.. Mom and Dad are. well no wonder they dont care lol THey dont pay the bill lol )

  • @TrinketStar Dude,dont know bout ppl but my texting is free

  • @thepoke3000

    it's included in the plan dude. unless where u live, u dun have to pay phone bills.

  • watch?v=_cXOSHtylS8

  • DR PHIL " Texting While Driving " thelionking235 lolXD

  • rah rah like a dungeon dragon

  • i dont know why people like to text so much anyway. it takes to much time to type it in as it does to call and say the same thing to the person. We have loss the real way to communicate with each other. I'd rather talk to someone than have to read a text with (LOL, WTF, BFF) and stuff like that. Plus it is so easy for people to lie and not tell the truth by texting. i had a girl friend who lied constantly to me through texting but when i talk to her over the phone i could tell she was lying.

  • Any person that gets addicted to ANYTHING, needs a good beating! Then they'll stop.

    And yes I hope that if I get addicted to something, the worst would be drugs lets say, I'd want to someone to keep beating me until I stop.

  • @1983Jacko What if you are addicted to homework? Or fruits and vegetables. Then do you need a good beating? 

  • @Marrowni Sure if you do it as much as texting which is like every 5-10 minutes, yea you should be beat. But then again you'd probably get addicted to beatings as well.

  • @1983Jacko Im just pullin your leg man. Like to do that when I can find a fun comment.

  • War on texting? CNN?

  • @monkeyBoner773 i think it is. its a technological waste almost. 6 billion texts sent per day (thats the entire world population) and a lot of those are totally unnecessary like text someone right next to you lol I think its more of a toy then anything else. I still do text quite a bit so its more like a "luxury" ..... so to speak

  • texting is not a problem. its a gift :)

  • Ah, texting is so hard. I wish there was a device that would let us speak with one another.

  • @YoshiFan100 > Hahaha, omg. That's kind of funny :)

  • @YoshiFan100 haha smart ass

  • @YoshiFan100 f u!!!!

  • i love having a problem text messing lol

  • people have problems, not machines

  • @SeeMeNowBiscuit Exactly. Listen to what THIS dude has to say.

  • is it My Imagination or Does Matt Simms @48 secs Look

    Like Nick Carter From Backstreet Boys He Can Text Me Any Day =)

  • cbs you suck the whole fucking channel sucks

  • @AntichristUtubeStar

    On the other hand it's a huge step backwards in terms of human communication which leads to wasted time, lost revenue, accidents, deaths and poor writing skills. Since most texts are completely unnecessary bullshit, and the rest would be better served by a simple, proper conversation, i'd say texting is anything but progress.

    The other side of the coin for you to think about.

  • @AntichristUtubeStar yes because texting while driving is the best thing to do in the world

  • God, I don't even texy during class, and I used over 30 minutes in one day. I sent 99 texts within about 2-3 days, and the only reason I have my phone in my pocket during school is to tell the time. The stupid school clocks are wrong. -_-*

  • biggest addiction to ever hit !!! it's a smokeless cigarette .

  • Yes, text messaging has gone way too far.

  • For gods sake, why don't they just ban it? They also banned texting in cars here, and the world didn't end.

  • here's a simple solution, jam the frequencies that are not used on the teacher's class room phone.

  • @Zeldagigafan90210 they have that at our school and they have somthing that can tell if the phone is on too

  • Pretty simple rule - no phones allowed in meetings or in classrooms. Ensures everyone pays attention. Especially classrooms - seriously the kid should be focusing on what is going on in class. If they are caught using their mobile - instant confiscation. In meetings - if it goes off or you are seen on your phone then you either get a warning or get fired. Why is that so hard to implement? Common courtesy has clearly gone out the window these days so rules like these need to be brought in.

  • how about a smack in the mouth?

  • i love texting. okay? i text alot. but some people dont even talk if u ask them

  • @cellphonesrock76 your a lil bitch if you like texting. are you a lil bitch?

  • @doox420 FYI i'm not a little bitch. Are you a big fag? yeah i thought so.

  • you know whats the problome? ppl who dont like txting think its gone to far because they've never txted before and they're to stupid to figure out how D:<

  • who actually gives a rats ass if its simply, kay by c ya then

  • Text messaging should be banned and done with! We can no longer strike up conversations with people because they are to da** busy texting . I think texting is the worst thing in comunicating we have come up with. BOYCOTT TEXTING!!!!

  • people care too much about what their friends send them. everything else is just a blur to them.

  • i was thinking "wait..its already like that" and then i looked at the year it was posted, and said "oohhhh"

  • wtf are you talking about, theres nothing wrong with texting, its part of you plan, your paying to have that as an option, just dont text and drive like an idiot, doesnt matter how good you are at driving, theres always other drivers around you

  • Wow how old is this video? Texts can be regulated and monitored.

  • I think that woman have been completely corrupted by texting and they are the ones with the problem. The male race can kick back and enjoy the show :D

  • Instead of wasting at least 7 mins playing games like two gippy school girls. And the point that i'm making is that it's ridiculous. In serious situations, people dont take the right actions. And this is just the start to a bigger problem.

  • Yeah, like I work at Dollar General as my part time job to help pay for college, and the other day our safe fucked up and we couldn't get it open. So the asst manager texted the head manager and they played "Text tag" with eachother instead of just calling each other up and finishing the goddamn conversation in two minutes MAX.

  • okay if texting is the worst problem in your life... you have an ok life

  • surveymonkey. com/s/ZW7 C 9 Y V

  • Teen Driving Accidents Can Be Prevented With More Education From A Teen Driving Safety Course. Let's Keep Our Teen Drivers Safe. Please Click On My Name for more information. Thank you.

  • @TeenDrivingPro Because capitalising the first letter of every word makes you intelligent.

  • At the school where I work cellphones are confiscated for a week if a student receives or makes call/text messages during class

  • ya cant controll otha people therefor ya cant make stupid ass rules therefor ya cant make sumone not txt message

    but ya can beat sumone to not do what ya dislike seeing.............

    but a person cant beat only s much

    WHY THE FUCK EM I GETTIN SERIOUS ABOUT THIS? LOL

    SCREW THIS ^_^

    WHO UP FOR A SMOOTHIE?!

  • @hentaiby are you completely illiterate?

  • @videohog22 guess i am ^__^

    does it bother ya?

  • @hentaiby Can you speak more like a fag. They're getting serious about it because of ghetto people like you. Grow some neurons so you don't sound like a fag.

  • @Streambeta ya really are a dumb bitch arent ya?

    seems youre the only one who knows ghetto ....all the dicks you suck......

  • @hentaiby ROFL, case and point. I laugh at you silly ghetto people.

  • @Streambeta you must be kidding me...........you really dont suck dick i hope......it wasnt serious y'know.........im not from ghetto neither am i black........lmao

  • This is so fucking pathetic....we as american cant handle a rediculous thing like text messaging...its becoming out of control???!!! WHAT ARE WE ALL 14 YEAR OLD GIRLS....This is fucking embarrassing for me as an american.

  • @HipHopDetective It's because everyone is media retarded. Everyone only pays attention to what's popular instead of what's right and the information you should get out of something. Once something as basic as the "leet" language becomes mainstream, then it gets worse and used by fags.

  • Spare me. I'm sure there are worst issues in school than "text Messages" Let alone football. if the coaches are bored with meetings, maybe they should fucking stop coaching.

  • feb 9 1998 is my bday ps im RANDOM LO FUCKIN L :) X)

  • Happy B-Day :-D

  • so. I just got my new Lg xenon and in one month I texted 12,305 And my dad like fell out of his seat and hes like thank god for unlimated texting

  • @thecowgoesmooify my friend did that many too haha she got put in the yearbook for it "/

  • I text most of the time...I can text the whole day! But I learn to control it! I don't use it in class. I don't use it when I am at a party unless its important. I don't text during meals because its rude and I know it. For me, texting is just like calling a person but you just get a very pain thumb if you text to much...

  • @foosaqueen12 same here i dont text during meals i dont text in class i only text hwen i can ;)

  • I text but I control it...I don't use my phone in class...Texting is become a bit overrated...

  • Heres what i think about it. Text Messaging should only be done when you have the time for it whenever you have time for it and more importantly for emergency use. People just get obsessed with texting like they cant just turn off or wait till the right time to text. I prefer comming home from work or school sit down in my room text and do my home work while listening to music. No hazards or risks just a solemn silence with me myself and I. Doesnt it sound nice? Text is great just hve time 4 it

  • gamers will write in text form to eachother using the same keyboard for comm. as they do for 'driving' (playing their game). now, i know in a game youre in no real danger and in a car its life or death but hows this - something can go wrong in a game w/ less warning than while driving (this is actually true since in videogames, there can be no warning while in the real world theres almost always a warning). gamers rarely fail to exit the comm. and fix situations in-game, we'd do fine in a car

  • @lee4life06 Only risk is getting your problems wrong xD

  • What's wrong with turning your phone off before class or a meeting. Text messagin isn't the problem. The problem is the person doing it.

  • @venuecam Yes, regulation exists because individual can't be ethical and responsible on their own. Human nature is highly corruptible, and people could just be respectful to the teacher or the person conducting the meeting on there own hypothetically, but human nature is not like that in my opinion. People need rules and regulations to stay within the guidelines.

  • @venuecam no,it's the problem... bullets DO kill people,but i get your drift.

  • @plutoplatters a bullet lying on a table has no way of ending a life. Only when it is manually injected into a chamber and fired does it have that capacity.

  • @venuecam same with drugs and everything else in the world

  • @venuecam youre right

    KILL EVERYONE WHO IS TEXTING

  • @venuecam yeah yeah..and bullets dont kill people.

  • @plutoplatters yeah yeah... and neither do knives, or bombs, or bats...

    WTF has that got to do with someone unable to put their phone down? Really...

  • food is good and important to stay healthy but too much can be bad or the wrong kinds can make you sick... in the same way too much texting or in bad places (like class or meetings or other places where it shouldn't be) then it becomes bad, but texting in general can be a good thing, just a way to stay in contact and know what's going on. basically if you can control yourself its good (more and more people can't these days but thats a whole other topic)

  • texting is just mobile msn.

    how many of you who text also leave their msn's logged on all the time?

    its for being informed and informing others.

    mind you, getting 'lol im right behind u' texts are quite stupid and created out of ignorantly spawned boredom. theres no problem with texting, just the people. if you feel the need to constantly read someone else's whereabouts or social life, you're no better than a stalker! just be smart about it, not ignorant.

  • "ignorantly spawned boredom"

    last i checked, ignorant meant something along the lines of not knowing about something, so when i see that, i read it as "boredom they didn't really know about". Is this what you were trying to say??? only reason I'm really even asking is because a lot of people confuse "ignorant" with "stupid"

  • in the first context yes i mean 'without knowing', in the second, well.. people are a bit stupid about it sometimes. ignorance is stupidity in that regard.

  • i see, but how i mark stupidity though is that someone has knowledge of something, and chose not to follow whatever guidelines to said knowledge. Like someone was taught that a red light means stop, but regardless they went right through and hit a car. where as an example of ignorance, by common definition(and in most dictionaries), would be that someone saw a red light and had never been told or came across information that says red light means stop, and they went through and hit a car.

  • personally though i think it should be re-defined, since the root word of ignorance is ignore, which would mean someone deliberately rejects information, so when something happens they actually would be at fault because they ignored info provided to them. -shrugs- but what can you do. besides if they did re-define it then what word could be used for someone who simply wasn't provided with information they needed.

  • im guessing what he was more trying to say may be more apathetic, like in class your sitting there texting not paying attention... why? cause your saying i think i know this and won't learn anything or because you just dont care... thats what i got out of it at least

  • ah, i think i see what you mean now

  • on a side note about my opinion about texting, yeah nothing's really wrong with it. It can be an annoying process though if you don't have a phone with a keypad. What i'm not that fond of though is that people (mostly girls) like to have entire conversations and discussions via texting, which i personally think is a bit dumb. not trying to offend anyone but i dont want to spend 10+ seconds texting what i could say in 1 second (as far as short things go like "Maybe Tomorrow")

  • only exception being if you're in a position where you can't talk, then fine it makes sense. I've had moments where I'm somewhat busy and I get a text "hey whats up" and of course i respond back a few times, but then i'll ask if they're busy and they say no so I call them. and then i get asked why i called, the person is just silent, and i eventually end up hanging up and they start texting again lol wtf

  • Personally I don't get text messaging, it's such a synthetic form of communication, without eye contact or at least voice, it doesn't even feel like you are communicating with someone directly.

  • but you'll write comments on youtube videos...

  • 30 a day? i get like 500 a day! no lie!

  • u fucking prick. who gives a fuck. you fag fuck.

  • dood, ur actually so popular

  • I dont get the point of texting.

    I can just call someone and tell them what i want them to know. I dont need no fuckin "lol" or fuckin little smiley faces i dont need that to talk to someone

  • Just cuz you cant get the point of something doesnt mean its dumb. maybe you are wrong instead of the system itself.

  • or maybe im right and your wrong so you should shut the fuck up and quit bitching about it.

  • Hey retard, than explain why so many people are doing it? There must be some benefit or people wouldnt do it. Think about things before you blindly type them.

  • oh my cheese who's eating pringlees?? that's awesome

  • what's the point of this video?

  • im eating pringles

  • what flavour where they?

  • what the hell is this????? this is retarded!! omg. no1 fucking cares about football and these ppl texting eachother

  • I hate people that text too much, especially girls.

  • i love bunnies

  • we can care less if you get killed by your arrogance and ignorance, but when it comes to other people's lives, you dont have a say in it.

    I mean, how old are you?

    I can't even drive and i can see all the self-absorbed woman on the road going 90 and texting...

  • You had me until the very end. Are you also aware that MEN cause the majority of fatal accidents, enough for them to have higher insurance rates?

    Love, "Self-Absorbed Woman" with a clean driving record.

  • Well sorry to hear that I couldn't convince you, but then again, did anyone us expected anyone to convince anyone?

    I dont feel like googling statistics to support myself, but from what I've seen in my short life, majority of people that text while driving are 16-30 year old woman, maybe 35s who still are trying desperately hold on to their 20s.

  • Your statement is not totally true. Us men do have higher insurrance rates because we tend to be in more accidents. But that's because we drive 5 times MORE than women on average. Facts say it. Look it up. Plus, ask most driver education instructors, ask them about their students. Most teachers that I have known and talked to say that the men, most of the time, do better than the women on the road driving test. They say that women tend to be the most oblivious to their surroundings.

  • Men are absolutely involved in more accidents, because we drive 4 times more than women, but actually our crash rate per mile driven is lower so.....

    And I hope you don't text and drive, if you really need to get a message to someone just fucking call them then you can at least watch the road.

  • Why should you be allowed to text at school? Why should you be allowed to put my life, my child's life, my husbands life, or my friends lives at risk because you're too damn stupid to know better than to text while you're driving? Is it that important for you to send a message on what you're going to wear to the party you're going to? There is a time and a place when texting is okay, school, work, and the road are not those places

  • everything in this world has gone too far in my opinion

  • educators/coaches need to focus on their work. lol don't treat your players/students like your drinkin' buddies or lovers... leave 'em alone. LOL get a life!

  • Comment removed

  • u must be black lol

  • i'm actually mexican.

    but you however, are ignorant.

    :)

  • And you must be racist.

  • People who text while driving should have been aborted.

  • I've never been able to figure out how to text, and I'm too embarrassed to ask anyone. But maybe this is good. Do we really need text messaging anyway?

  • LOL I thought the same thing... Im addicted now.

  • lol ive never texted in my life no lies

  • Auto TextBak

    There is now a blackberry app available that will allow you to customize an away message, so anyone who texts you while you are driving will receive a message of your choice... Example "driving, get back to you soon"

    AutoTextBak is the site

  • There is a blackberry app available that you can customize an auto response to text messages. Simply put "driving, will call you later" and its only $3

    Auto TextBak is the name and has its own website AutoTextBak

  • Texting is EXTREMELY ADDICTIVE No different than being on a computer and chatting. It's very dangerous and life threatening when texting while driving. When will the maddness stop? after you kill someone or someone kills your loved one?

  • There should be a zero-tolerance policy for cell phones/texting in classrooms. Its outrageous, disrespectful, and incredibly rude to the other people in the meeting, classroom, where ever. Leave your f-ing phones at the door.

  • wats the point of a phone if u text in it all the timethen it shouldnt be called a phone reason #1 y i dont text: it fucks up peoples lives

  • ive been around these kids during high school. it's unbelievable how they don't pay attention and fail quizzes, tests, even the class just to fucking text about useless shit.

  • I remember when I was in gr.7 back in 98 NO kid in school even thought of cell phones, we all knew there was only one kid and he had one of those freakishly huge nokia phones (like i'd care what the model name is) and I knew off the bat he brought it to just friggin' show off

  • i rather talk on the phone instead of text!! if people text me i don't text then back!!

  • Whatever happened to talkin to people on a phone? i mean cmon ppl talkin to someone is way more effective than texting

  • text is ok as like a mobile email substitute, but talking is so much more effective. stupid.

  • we are going backwards,typing instead of talking.give these kids a telegraph for christmas

  • texting is nigga technology

  • kuck niggaz

  • dude i text 24/7 unless im 2 busy 2 and theres nothing wrong with it it cant mess anybody up in school pshh im living proof of that bcuz if i have straight A's and text all the time then what does that tell you!

  • It tells me we have very low academic standards.

  • yeah nice one but nope!

  • LOL Your vocabulary and grammar support my argument.

  • oh im sorry i didnt know im supposed sepll correctly and actually give shit if u believe me or not...

  • Communication skills would help you succeed. And, lashing out is a good way to demonstrate your juvenility.

  • SHREKSTROXXX: It tells me the system has failed you.

  • haha quite "FUCK THE SYSTEM"

  • That means that you lead a sad life. There is more to life than texting. Why don't you go out and meet some people and interact face to face and build up a personality?

    I have nothing against texting, but there are other things to do besides that ESPECIALLY while driving.

  • hmm good arguments but i mean i text like all the time, but that doesnt mean i dont have a life and dont hang out with people texting is like a multi-tasking thing for me, because i text and do whatever else it is that i am doing.

  • texting will destroy the world some day

  • Destroy the world? No.

    Kill many people on the road? Absolutely.

  • Text messaging is such a waste of time!

  • wait..  .whats "texting" ??

    haha

  • Text My Nuts Dudes

  • i cant live without texting

  • if u cant live, den die

  • Comment removed

  • yep, that one always works

  • regulate people! not texting! hah

  • why don't schools forbid students from using their phones during class? someone's not doing their job. if anyone needs to get ahold of a kid at school they should go through the office.

  • My school does forbid use during class (even though no one listens to them, they're too busy texting). If our attendance is good enough they'll let us use them during lunch or in the hallways. Every time I see someone get caught, I'm the kid laughing the loudest.
