“Hey, so to change the subject for a moment: after months of dithering, I just bought an iPad! The problem is, it won’t connect to my wireless network, and I only get the AT&T 3G service if I’m literally sitting next to my front windows. Do other people in Park Slope have trouble getting AT&T service?”
Hey Park Sloper, I’ve been having major problems with my at&T/iphone reception and talked to both AT&T and Apple about it this week. Firstly, two of the AT&t towers in Park Slope are broken and are being fixed (allegedly). That’s one problem. Second is that most of the towers are in Central/South Slope so North Slope doesn’t have quite as good coverage.
Try this though….go into the settings, then network, and DISABLE the 3G so that you’re on only your WIFI network. I tried that and now my iphone is working perfectly.
“The heart of this issue is the US’s moral standing in the world, and our response to the growing force of radical Islam.”
Exactly right, Benson. That’s why the protests against the Islamic Center in lower Manhattan are so disturbing. They are damaging the US’s moral standing in the world, and they are demonstrating that our response to the growing force of radical Islam is to rein in tolerance and freedom of religion in favor of morally-misguided attacks on an entire religion, rather than on the violently radical expression thereof.
“Denton- I know – it’s disgusting! that happened in Suffolk county too – a bunch of hate mongering teens beating that immigrant to death! – didn’t something like that also happen in Bushwick too? ”
I remember that incident on Long Island. really chilling. a bunch of teens in Farmingville (which has a large mexican day laborer population) went to the 7-11 where they all congregate – lured a bunch into their truck and took them to an abandoned warehouse and beat them to death.
it was made into a law and order episode i believe.

LAw & Order: SBU
uneducated Pakistanis = uneducated Americans – they both are following the group that is shouting the loudest!
Wouldn’t be a fair fight, Biff. Me against the three of them?- they’d need a few more people added on to beat me! 😉
Besides- the What doesn’t fight- he immolates.
If radical Islam is the most intolerant religion in the world, then by banning this CULTURAL CENTER, we take a step in their direction.
And this is coming from someone who thinks we should carpet bomb the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
OOOOOOOOOH they need to make a law and order episode about bedbugs!!! i wonder wonder how they can combine bedbugs and crime together tho.
*rob*
Park Sloper, TV reception is not so good in your hood either – per Arkady

Thank you for making my point for me.
