The basic argument against the code test comes down to this:
Why should anyone have to learn it if they don't intend to use it?

Gee, if you don't plan on using the ham license, why bother taking a test?

An old Tech class Elmer that first taught me the code, told me you need it
so you will know what repeater you are talking on. I find Morse code
useful but I can see how someone who doesn't know it might not find any use
for it. Even I can't tell you what it's good for if you don't plan on using
it. DUH.

I still have some Vinyl records and even a couple of 45s still. I like some
Classical music too even though the people that wrote it are dead, I guess
that makes it obsolete. So what's with these Heavy Metal bands where they
are still using a Tube guitar amp and half of those guys have one foot in
the grave anyway. Even the newest bands are old guys in their 30s with
15-20 year olds freaking all around them. Except for the Girl bands all but
doing strip shows. That's kind of entertaining, but everytime they open
their mouths, bubble gum and bullsqueek comes out. But then you have all
these teen girls who idolize them and dress like strippers and everyone
wonders why their teen daughters have all gone astray, but NOOO, they tell
us we're OLD and don't know what were talking about because all their
girlfriends are pregnant and had 15 abortions when they were 15, so why
can't they have fun too. Just because they say the 50 yo migrant worker is
cute and says he loves her, why can't she have him for a sleepover.
ARGGGGHHE... but I digress. What is it with these NEWBIES telling us - We
who know better - That Morse Code is useless.

I'll tell you one thing, E-mail isn't even faster than Morse Code. In fact
they should do away with E-mail because it's slower than Morse Code. The
fact that someone actually marketed a Blackberry smaller than a full size
keyboard must have been tasked to find out how many idiots there are trying
to push their lives through a microscopic keyboard when a Straight key you
don't even have to look at to find the alphabet. Shouldn't cell phones have
made them all obsolete? Come to think of it, these computers should be
obsolete too because they are so much slower than cell phones. Or maybe
because you can't even talk to people on the phone anymore because they are
stuck sifting through their SPAM lists.

Just a few Wild-A** thoughts.
