1399854 2015-05-02 01:56:00 What are the youth of today coming to?

So my flippin middle daughter is going through a bit of a minor health crisis . So I tell her to take her mind off things by buying a new gadget . So I send her some roubles . So she upgrades her computer . :thumbs:

So then she goes out and buys . . . . a bleeding ickPhone 6 Plus!!!!! :horrified

The damn price is probably 3 or 4 times what I paid for my zingy S4 Mini!

I'm still in virtual suspended animation as a result . I suspect it's hereditary on her woe-begotten mother's side . :yuck:

*sigh*

[Edit] Make that 5 or 6 times what I paid for my phone! :groan:

1399858 2015-05-02 04:23:00 Very highly prized status symbol amongst younger people, and old come to think of it. My Grandson already lost 3 of them at the skate park (one iPhone5 and two 6's I believe), taken by bigger boys or gangs, he is over 6 foot but a bit of a chicken (my daughter has given him instructions not to fight, just hand over), or stolen from his back pack. zqwerty (97)

Maybe should give him a Nokia 1100 instead...

Gosh no. Grandaughter assures me that you aren't in the "in" crowd if you have anything other than an iphone. I think she is starting to understand the reason they are called Sheeple.

I quoted Sir Bob Jones in an earlier post where he coined a rather apt phrase describing Sheeples at a more sophisticated level . It was in reference to our news media, and he said a "groaning giveaway of journalistic shoal fish mediocrity would emerge" .

I think "shoal fish mediocrity" is also a rather apt term to describe the proclivities of Sheeple .

:D

+1

Regardless of whether you prefer Android or IOS, the 6+ is far better a phone than the S4 mini.

1399863 2015-05-03 21:21:00 So it might be but what does a 6+ do that an S4 mini can't. Considering I'm still using an S3 mini. In my opinion all it will do is cost you more. gary67 (56)
