I have read the Koran twice and see that women are to present themselves modestly. Why aren't the men required to cover up their bodies? My grandmother covered her head but she was also treated like a second class citizen. The action of covering up seems to imply that not to cover up creates a situation where men will attack the person. A religion that implies two standards for males and females appears to show a bias toward inequality. I see this inequality in the Catholic and Jewish religion as well. Will these religions ever come into the 21st Century?

I walked into a back room at a video store the other day. I didn't know this existed in this store. There were thousands and thousands of porn videos. I was curious and looked at the DVD covers. So many young girls were having unprotected sex. Even if you don't talk about the morals and values these women have, doesn't anyone worry about their health?

I have been programing for 30 years and 4 of them the iPhone. This phone was the trail blazer when it came out, but so was the Model T Ford. Now thete are super phones that are more reliable and can run circles around the iPhone, including the 4 G. Some of these super smart phones include the Nexus, the HTC models that include the Pro 2, the HD 2, and the Evo, oh and the droid.

I know this first hand because I program (and tweak) them.

I used and programmed iPhones for 4 years. Yes, it's a classy looking phone and was innovative. But there are soooo many limitations....no physical keyboard, poor reception on the AT&T network, restrictions on the bluetooth, camera isn't so great, can't customize its look, can't remove the battery (unless your a surgeon). Oh, and forget streaming video without a flash player. Is this iPhone frenzy brainwashing?

I want to upgrade and have heard that the Pro 2 is an excellent unit if you are on T-mobile. There is a couple problems I know of. The OS is only 6.1 and should be upgraded to 6.5. And I should wait for Flash 10.1 mobile. So let me know your experience.

I see so many nice and intelligent fellows who can't find a good and supportive woman. My son is intelligent, a hard worker, not a bad looker, has money, but at 25, has trouble finding a companion. But I see deadbeats, skin heads, thugs, and ex-cons with women hanging on them. A number of these girls get pregnant, have a child, and the bum leaves them. So many of these mothers (who did not think to get married) live in poverty because their guy refuses to pay child support.

Is it in the water?

And please don't tell me how you can find someone on eharmony. It just ain't happening. No wonder our society is falling apart, the children have little stability in their lives. I know because as a teacher, I see these poor kids who come from these relationships.

Apple changed the baseband on the newer iPhones to 05.09. This prevents one from downgrading to 2.28 to use Yellowsnow to use T-mobile. Anybody have a way?

Just want to know.

Those who criticize Al Frankin or the Democrats, where have they been for the last 8 years. We were attacked and we lost over 2000 people under the Republicans and Bush. We were lied to and went to war that financially damaged us. People were held in prisons without Habeus Corpus. Americans were illegally wire tapped. Millions of jobs were lost. Our savings and home assets have been wiped out. Our borders are still open to illegals (13 million still are here). And our whole economy is in the crapper. All this happened under 14 years of Republican rule. And people still dislike Al Franken. He couldn't do any worse. Why be so negative against Franken and the Democrats?
