Phones on Airplanes

I shake my head in utter despair as I read a report that says airlines are going to allow people to use their mobile phones on airplanes.... what the hell.

Has anybody had the misfortune of sitting next to someone on a train making a call... HELLO ITS ME... it's horrible, the train (and airplane for that matter) are too loud, it disturbs everybody within 50 feet, come on can't you live without your phone for a few hours !! I for one can and welcome the fact that I am free from all the shit of everyday life.

Keep airplanes silent, keep mobiles banned.
