towe001 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 I've noticed Vodafones coverage has gone to shit since they started the "we're world wide" campaign. Used to be ok, now my wife and I have poor coverage wherever we are?? Will have to go over to the dark side... evil telstra :bash: About the only thing good about telstra is the coverage and that sir is it Vodafone for a decade now... no probs with coverage up here in the deep north, or anywhere I've been in AU or overseas. It really does have a lot to do with your handset... I could take you places where the only coverage you'll get is telstra and even then it'll still drop out from time to time. And i could even show you a place where its a close on dead zone for both vodaphone and optus Quote
JiP Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 We have family friends that live in a suburb called Forestdale in Brisbane. They get almost no reception from anyone on their property. Tho if you sit in the right spot in their lounge room you'll get one bar. And this is a ritzy suburb too. Quote
Lexxi[ke35] Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) Yeah it was directed at you and anyone else who jumps on a car forum to talk about their life choices, and the life choices of others. Comment on yourself, sure, but you have no right to bring anyone else into this. If I was one of your friends and read what you had written about me drinking and doing drugs to be cool, Id honestly be telling you to f@$k off for good. A good slap in the face would be in order. How dare you? I know you'd say something like, 'oh but I just care about you people and I don't want you to get hurt', when in actual fact, you care more about judging people. I think there is quite a few things you have overlooked in all your wisdom. You do not give any creed to the enjoyment these people are giving themselves with their behaviour. The use of any drugs is a highly personal thing. Not something that a straight edge teenager would understand. Have you ever heard of DMT? Its a psycho active drug, that your body produces in massive quantities while you have REM sleep. When you wake up, its gone. There is no hangover, or life changing evil consequences. Quite frankly every time you dream, you are using DMT. The reason that many people like to take it sober is because they are seeking an awareness of dreams, and some greater understanding of their own mind. So face it, every time your head hits the pillow, you are mainlining a psycho active drug, straight into the brain. Now can you begin see how connected humans are to this type of thing, and why some people are curious and experimental about things? There is a big wide world out there full of information, facts and experiences you will never know about, because you are shutting off a lot of what it is to be human. You have been handed a simplified understanding of the world by a number of factors, religion, government, parents, a million different things. Its up to you to break the mold and think for yourself. That doesnt have to involve doing drugs, but it does involve seeking a greater form of understanding than 'people are just doing it to be cool'. It seems to you anyone who is drinking or doing anything you don't agree with, is just trying to be cool. That is judgmental as hell, and a big slap in the face to anyone who reads it with a coldie in their hand. That's your interpretation and it really just comes off like you are really really naive and afraid of the world. For thousands or possibly millions of years, humanoid life forms have used mind altering substances to do many things, have spiritual experiences, for personal enjoyment, medicines, rites of passage, recreation etc. Just because you live in the most prohibitionist and conservative society of all time, isn't any reason to forget the past history of humans and our ancestors. Have you ever read any books on shamanism, considering all your wisdom? People do these things because they choose to, and you have no right to comment on anything about their lives. You telling me they think they are cool for doing it is your simplified understanding. You have no right to tell anyone what someone else is thinking, because there is no way you could possibly know. You thinking you do is a massive sign of stupidity, quite frankly. You don't give anyone any credit for having made their choices, and being willing to live with the consequences. On the issue of sex, who are people trying to impress with their coolness by sleeping around? They have no ongoing connection with their sex partners, so its not them. I know I couldn't care less who my mates are shagging, so its probably not the peer group of friends, oh my god, maybe they actually enjoy sex? No way, they must just be trying to be cool and show off. I'm not saying its fine to sleep around, do hard drugs, or get pissed as a newt 7 nights a week. I am saying that you have a lot to learn about respecting the choices of others and a lot of personal growth required to get to a point where the behavior of others is rightfully understood as none of your damn business. You don't have to agree with me, in fact I expect you will not. I'm fine with that. You don't even have a patch of an understanding about these people. For you to call them friends the way you are judging them and insulting their intelligence is a massive stretch. Would you be comfortable showing your friends this thread with all you have written about them and their choices? I interpret it how I see it, and yes, because I am a teenage girl in high school I see many people doing all that to be cool. I'm not saying everyone does it to be cool, I said many people do it becasue they like it and thats fine. And if you actually read what I said you would have noticed that I said that I still loved my friends who are into drugs and everything else, I was not judging them, I was showing you the experiences I've had with drugs and shit and what I've seen it do to close friends. Hell, my best friend for about 5 years is into hard drugs and sleeping around, and like I said, I don't think any less of her. I would show my friends what I had said and they would understand, I have said all this to them before. And its not like I said who they were and posted photos up of them, no one knows who I'm, talking about except them. Unlike you, my friends seem to be able to understand that and they would be perfectly fine with it. I understand your opinion and you are perfectly entitled to it, just like I should be entitled to mine. I apologise if I offended you with what I said, that wasn't my intent, I was just venting what grinds my gears, which is what this thread is for. I'm sorry if life choices have an effect on what pisses me off but we can't all be perfect. Edited February 17, 2009 by Lexxi[ke35] Quote
irokin Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Well all the sh*t is hitting the ceiling at the moment with the Vodafone/Hutchison merge. Then again, 3 wasn't exactly reliable in the first place.... This was another optus fiber break and redundant link failure. :bash: God help us if they get the NBN contract. Quote

You are hardly of an age to be preaching about life experience. Grow up a little, get some and then come back and tell us about it. I'm guessing you've only ever lived in the same area too most of your life..... Harden up princess :bash: Quote
OniBerserker Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 LittleRedSpirit is right Lexxi, its a big world out there and you have a lot to learn, once you get out of school and survive by your own means you gain new perspectives on life you should be concerned only with your own life choices.

Lexxi[ke35] Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) No, I haven't lived in the same area all my life, and I have had a lot of experiences for some one my age. just because I don't agree with going out and getting trashed, stoned and sleeping with a new person every night doesn't mean I have to go out and do it and I'll magically enjoy it and think its right. Why am I not allowed to have my opinion? Why does everyone think just because I'm young that I'm blatantly ignorant? I'm really not, I just have the apparently rare ability of learning from other people's mistakes. And what I have been saying the ENTIRE time is that I don't care what people do, as long as they either don't brag about it and think it makes them cool, or don't blow their smoke in my face. I'm not judging people for doing it, I don't respect them any less, as long as they don't do it around me. How is that not only being concerned with my actions?

cuzzo Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Fook me. Atleast these ^ rants are in the correct thread. What grinds my gears? Having to replace a gearbox for a 2dollar part. Yay for me. Quote
orangeLJ Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 I think the bandwagon is full, so why does everyone keep jumping on it to have a crack at lexxi? She said she doesnt give two shits what others do, and personally, I find it good to hear someone in highschool who actually thinks about what they are doing and isnt a derolict no hoper in the making. She is entitled to her opinion, just like Litteredspirit is entitled to his, but having a go at her because of her age is pretty stupid. Everyone is different, everyone has different experiences at different ages, for all you know she may be more worldly then all of you. (then again she may not be) To me, LRS's post sounded more like a "make drugs legal" speech than anything wise and poetic.... So why can't everyone just get over it all? Lexxi doesnt care what you do to your brain, lungs, liver etc etc. So why should you care that she chooses to keep hers clean? Quote
