It is ridiculous that somebody picks up the phone and calls somebody they see on television. Why don't they call somebody in their area? Don't they know about that?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think the American public can accept the fact if you tell them that every time you pick up the phone it's going to be recorded and it goes to the government. I think the public can understand that.
These days, children can text on their cell phone all night long, and no one else is seeing that phone. You don't know who is calling that child.
I see people putting text messages on the phone or computer and I think, 'Why don't you just call?'
I think when you get out of the big cities people get really freaked out when they see someone who is on TV, because they're not used to that.
If it's the Psychic Network why do they need a phone number?
I sometimes question whether journalists here are being asked to take up roles that are not ours. I get calls from people complaining that their telephone is out of order or that electricity is cut, and I sometimes wonder why don't they call the telephone or electric company.
A lot of people don't know how to talk on the phone anymore.
I grew up in Russia. We had a telephone line, but a load of our neighbours didn't. It became a shared resource for the whole apartment complex. People would come and knock on the door and ask to call their family in another city.
That guy in a twenty-five cent bleacher seat is as much entitled to know a call as the guy in the boxes. He can see my arm signal even if he can't hear my voice.
People with the strongest and healthiest sense of calling are not obsessed with their calling. They are preoccupied with the Caller.
