I bought my iPod Touch for less money about 8 months ago with more features and I love it. I don't see any reason here to change. Although I do like idea of the noise canceling feature. I would be interested in hearing the difference in the sound too as…

There has to be something seriously messed up with their 'culture' if they have to have it written as a law in order to have sex with their own wives.

Equally disturbing is the part where they need to ask permission to 'leave' the house. So what part of this…

I really don't understand some of the attitudes many people are showing here. If a woman or man receives unwanted attention and asks the offending person to stop and that person doesn't stop, then they are violating personal rights.

Is there a valid reason, other than shoddy reporting, why the guys' names are mentioned but not the mother who created this whole mess, and was arrested for it

You know, Suzuka obviously has some problems, but she's pretty fly. I think that should be taken into consideration. Given where she's from, social pressure might have broken her. I would like to talk to her and maybe have a few conjugal visits. If they put her to death our…

I like the whole idea and while some complain that it's useless without real teeth, it's a first step.

Where I live, there are already many restaurants that are none smoking which I prefer over the smoky ones. Some of the new restaurants (even though they are sometimes smaller than…
