PLEASE CONSIDER......

Dear Friends,

I have just read and signed the online petition:

"Verizon Wireless User Interface & Software"

hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition
service, at:

http://www.PetitionOnline.com/VWGUI06/

I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might
agree, too. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider
signing yourself.

Best wishes,

depechemode82

I guess you're also one of those people that thinks their vote doesn't matter during political elections too, right? 🙄

How right you were (at least concerning the KRZR). I made them give me an EnV. Mighty fine phone, to say the least. Motorolas are good, just not on Verizon.

Why did you find the need to sign your post, even though above your post it already says your id?

I gotta tell you, your life must really be uneventful if you actually took the time out of your life to notice that and make an issue out of it.... 🤣

...and with things like wars, nuclear proliferation etc in the world and the Verizon UI 'anti' petition is all you can find to drum up support for.

Be careful about swinging around that 'uneventful life' deal. I come here to kill a few minutes before work. Your out as a recruiter for a petition because you don't like two red bars on your cell phone

...think bigger picture of the world.

Yes, you're right. It's the red bars that bother me... 🙄

I'm guessing the metaphoric intent of my statement was, perhaps, lost on you. With that in mind, I will be less metaphorical; is the complaint about the same ad nauseaum list of UI, crippled whatever and some implied inherent right to use your phone for whatever you want the biggest issue you can advocate?

How about world hunger? Aids? Why is still on American Idol?

Point being, a petition for this issue is more funny than serious. That someone would be bothered so much by this is just an oddity. So much as to start a petition online (whomever that would be) and/or be the mouth peice for people to 'sign' it? Strange indeed.

Not to get off topic or anything, but next time try using a spell checker, along with a grammar checker. Trust me, you will sound a lot more convincing with those big words you are trying so hard to use. As for the more "serious" issues that concern you so much, I would love to look over your volunteering history; somehow I doubt highly you have done anything useful in the cause to rid this world of such "horrid" issues. And as far as AIDS (not Aids), is concerned, why would it be any of my worries that there are people out there who don't care about their well being enough to respect and care for their bodies? You see, your liberal views have no interest to me. I feel that God gave people brains for a reason, and they should be held res...

"I feel that God gave people brains for a reason, and they should be held responsible for their OWN actions.".


I completely agree with that statment but I also feel that there should be a cure. Glad I don't have to worry about it though.

youre missing the point about aids, its not just people who do not protect themselves, a 3 month old baby cant help the fact that they have aids due to their parent's responsibility, regardless what you think about the disease or how people got it, it shows you are a very judgemental person but this is not a forum about AIDS nor your religious views,

i just wanted to note that but i think its ludicrous to have a petition about a UI on a phone which a particular company sells, i think if these manufacturers get enough letters or if a lot of people write enough letters to the ceo of verizon, maybe something will change but the majority of the people have no problem with it, the consumers vote with their dollars, if the consumer doesnt lik...

Just a little observation quite a few people that signed the petition were using LG phones. Let us not forget that LG designed the UI and put it on the 7000. So everyone who is using an LG phone should not be allowed to complain because they would more than likely have the UI anyway.

Fair enough that I am a sloppy online poster. I was always under the impression that it happens online and people overlook it. Still, my work documents are fully vetted for these issues. I didn't realize the internet needed that type of dog and pony show.

I would like to note that when you do want to debate grammar rather than the core issue, be certain that you partake in the same thorough use of grammar tools. To this point, when you start a new subject, a new paragraph is appropri...
