I have a web cam of time square app for my chumby. I can't believe
how it is always busy. Not a moment goes by with it empty. It kind
of gives me anxiety and I am not even there.

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!

I sometimes wish I could wake up in a world without assholes. Then, all the Christians left would be quite nice people.

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.

One of my favorite things on the planet is going out late enough to just catch the last train out of Grand Central. The vast empty streets of Manhattan are beautiful.
Ive almost broken up with two people over Times Square. I hate it.
LOL, emptiness makes me anxious. :)
