Why can't they just shut up?I sometimes feel bad about it because I judge christians as a group
before getting to know them as individuals while at the same time
complaining about them doing the same thing to every other group. I
recognize the hypocracy in that.
That being said, it's things like this that make feel this way. I was
searching apps for the iPhone and found one that showed you local glbt
events, clubs, etc and somehow christians had decided to download and
negatively review it in moral grounds. I constantly blows my mind that they fixate on the gay thing when the bible barely does.
As soon as people begin to rate apps on moral ground, it ruins the whole app rating system. It becomes much more difficult to tell what Is legitemately a lame app and what some people morally oppose. And its not like I can't understand what it feels like to be morally opposed to something. The fact is, I morally opposed to shooting games but I would never vote them down in the app store because if it.
If I was the app writer I would sue those people for financial damages.
Sometimes, I wish I could just wake up one morning in a Christian free world. Maybe my first chance will be in hell. I am sure that is what they are thinking.

I think if you go to the app store online (instead of on your phone) you can flag the inappropriate reviews.

I've seen the inverse on religious apps. For example, the Mormons have various apps related to their religious culture and I've seen many bigoted and absolutely non-app related reviews. So, throwing all the Christians to the lions seems a tad dramatic.
Because the internet is such an open forum, you're going to get trolls. I just look for the reviewers who aren't foaming at the mouth and then base my judgements on my interpretation of those various reviews.

Oh that is the last straw Jim. I have tried to be a nice guy, but this is just too much. You want to play like that? Fine. Then perhaps you wont be so happy when I tell everyone your dark secret.
Jim doesn't care for microwave popcorn.
Ya, that's right Jim. I went there!

Be assured not every Christian out there is going to be a jack off about an iPhone App. It's sad these ones were, though. And you make a good point about the war games, I know you don't like those. I'm not sure how you fix the ratings system.

Lee Nails at the walden galleria sucksCategory: shopping
I can't stand that fucking disgusting Lee Nails cancer cloud shop next
to sears. I smells so toxic. It's not just me being sensitive. If
you sit and watch, many people run by with their mouth covered. The
worst is if you get stuck on the escalator next to it, behind a slow
person. The cloud now extends further into the mall now. I can't
believe the health department doesn't shut the scumbag down or at
least make them get better ventilation. Imagine the poor ladies that
work there.
The whole reason I was there was that I had to go to the apple store
this morning because my MacBook pro's fans began to sound like a
motorcycle again. It's so frustrating to drop off my work computer
and know it's not coming back for a while. Sometimes Whn going to the apple store I come from the other side of the mall in order to avoid the toxic cloud from Lee Nails.
I Imagine it would be bad for business at Sears. One time I bought stuff at Best Buy instead because I didn't want to have to go past the smell.
I was terrified the mall would be jam packed but it really isn't. I
guess it is pretty early and it's a workday.

The smell is heavy concentration of acetone or something. Most every place that does nails has that smell; it makes me nauseous.
Best Buy, especially the one at The Galleria makes me ill (headache, nausea) as well. The smell is noxious-- can't tell if it is the carpeting, the electronics or what.
Which is sad, because I LOVE browsing electronics stores.

Also, how would you know unless you were also sitting and watching?!
Sorry to be mean but I think everyone this side of the pond totally lacks elevator etiquette.

Even in this HORRIBLE weather people were not not wearing long snow coats! What is WRONG with long snow coats?! Seriously, am I missing something here because my coat always reaches my knees or beyond.
It was CRAZY out there today!!!
