If you're too attached to tech, why are you on an internet forum about a computer game?

I voted no. Technology is a good thing, and you're in danger of turning a good thing into a bad thing through some flawed and misconstrued ideas about the world. Much the same as society has turned a set of basic human instincts into a taboo, for reasons that are totally beyond me.

So what, I've never lit a fire with a flint and some dried leaves? It's not a skill that many people need anymore. There aren't any basics, we learn what we need to in the era within which we live. I hardly think Lancelot of the Lake knew how to drive; instead, he probably knew how to ride. Those who seek to label technology as a bad thing while using the same technology to convey that view probably have some quite serious personal issues to deal with. Finding your lives too uninteresting, so you focus on the lives of others? If that's not the case, mind your own business yes?

Cool if you want to be a badass and run people over who aren't paying attention to traffic because of their phone or whatever. Just don't make a distinction between somebody not paying attention because of their phone and someone not paying attention because they're talking to their friend next to them. There's literally no difference, but if you get sent to prison for dangerous driving, I wont be shedding a tear either. To me, both are just another form of natural selection.

I dunno. I'd consider mental truck-drivers that purposefully run people over based on their own personal brand of morality to be a bigger problem than mobile phones. :lol:

Also, I'm gonna need to invest in some of that purple sarcastic text. The farming comment could have done with it.

It all depends...ugh, wanted to say *on your RP style*...on your lifestyle.

I myself use old x10 mini pro smartphone, poocketbook for reading and studying and rarely my netbook for playing FL.

FL MOD(EL)MAKING: TOOLS, RESOURCES, TUTORIALS AND MY SHIPS (OLD)

I am on discord: Roal-Yr#5994, I don't log on forum more than a few times a year.

I am not making ships for FL anymore, I am making my own space game instead:

How about this as an example of irony?

I have the complete U.S. Army Survival Manual ...








downloaded as a file on my cell phone.

If i look down and see the car beside me, or infront of me with a phone glued to the side of thier head? Yeah i turn on the jammer, and LOL. Also it is ilegal in my country to talk on phone when driving.
As for running people over, all you failed to read the part "when walking down the sidewalk" no driving in my truck. I am mean, not a killer. Besides. It is a bitch to get blood out of a truck grill. The heat bakes it on.

Some people can't leave home without their cellphone. They feel as bad without it as smokers without cigarettes.

What about cell phone jammers? Legal?

It has some handy features, like a clock or can be used for emergency calls. I know I could use sun to guess time and shout if something goes wrong.
