A lot of the teenagers 'around my way are insistent on shooting each other over turf-wars.
I see it as a self-solving problem.

I want to know why you're allowed, nay encouraged, to tell peopkle to turn their music down, but it's not acceptable to tell someone really dull to shut the fuck up?

Everyone walks along talking at the tops of their voices, and now that the headsets are so widespread and there's no phone visible, it just looks as if everyone is gibbering to themselves. In a way they are I suppose.

About a decade ago, just as your mobile phones were making the big time, I saw a bloke walking around Mayfair shouting at himself angrily, looking a little crazed in his fancy suit. It took me a while to realise that he wasn't a mad `un, but in fact had some kind of headset wired up to his mobile phone.
I still haven't got used to the sight of people using headsets. They all look mental to me.

on a project who would regularly, during face to face conversations, have his phone on auto answer and launch into conversation with his caller via headset without even pausing to excuse himself to me.
He eventually stopped this. I had a word with him.

not the phone.
Normal people try to keep their voice down when they use a phone on public phone.
IN OPTHER NEWS:
I've just been emailed a bunch of the 'Graphs' from last week entitled "Graphical Representations of Pop Songs".
Someone actually looked through them all and pulled out all the ones relating to pop songs...

it probably wasn't that much effort as there was a whole day of only Graphical Representations of Pop Songs, followed by a whole day of Steffi Graf.

and a lot of people tried bluetooth headsets over here but realised they make you look like a twat from a sci-fi convention and went back to holding the phone.

I promise you. Headsets are on the way to taking over here, so it's only a matter of time before you follow suit.
Personally I still don't carry a mobile phone. As time goes on though I come to be regarded more and more as some kind of antiquated heretic. I get away with it because I'm a Brit, so it's considered eccentric. If I was a yank though they'd probably burn me.

I don't need one, though.
People these days, even if they don't need one, get a mobile for the sake of having one.
But I'm not about to do that.

I quite like mine but find it too fiddly to use most of the time. Plus no one ever wants to call me anyway.
My wife refuses to have one since she saw the cyberman eps of the new Doctor Who.

I even have a nice discreet one but also like most people the headset never, ever leaves the car. I think we are just about up to the task of wearing them on the motorway but in public? Not a chance. Even the immensely dim-witted and totally non self-concious city types have cottoned on the the fact that you look like a prick. My wife can totally hide hers behind her hair, it's not the issue. The stomping around, wildly gesticulating into thin air whilst yelling extremely one-sided conversations at no-one like a Shepherd's Bush tramp? That's the issue.

According to Fitzmason's "Booke Of Etiquette Ande Assortedd Non-Vulgarie" (1537), if someone is dull, you should "Punche ye themme thenne, af harde af ye canne, richte in ynn thee choppef, thette they fhalle KNOE thette they arre dull ende ignorent."
