Blackberry BBM - blame for the Riots in England

DonFred

So here I was thinking of buying a Blackberry and discover all those scum in England have been using them to cause the riots..........

And the same scum wouldn't use whatsapp, liveprofile or iMessage (if it were out) on their iPhone or android device? This seems to me more about people who dont understand social networking and messaging apps.

Trolls can use mobiles with their small hands???

To paraphrase Mr. T - "you need to check the spelling on your sig link sucker!"

Yup, its easily the most popular type of phone over here for teens/young adults, I just don't get it, I hate the things

"blame for the riots in england"

That title doesn't make any sense. They are using it as a tool to help in organising getting together, but hardly a reason to take down RIM. Its not their fault that that hoodlums know its an encrypted service

I didnt mean Blackberry started the riot - I rephase, Blackberrys are being used to organise riots in England.

I blame the phone networks to be honest, maybe you should just not buy a mobile phone at all?

I blame literacy. What is it Peter from Family Guy said? "Oh my God: movable printing type. We must keep this from the serfs lest they gain literacy and threaten the landed gentry." :pac:

So, it's okay when Twitter and BBM are used in Iran or Egypt to organise an uprising, but they're used to organise looting in the UK, they're evil.

Technology is a tool. It's not responsible for the actions of the complete tools pushing the keys.
