Happy 18th Birthday - Your Present?
We are going to stone you to death!
15th July 2010

Imagine a girl forced into a marriage at 14. A year later she is found guilty of "adultery" without any evidence.
They could not execute her as she was a minor so they gave her 99 lashes and then dumped her in a cell until she is 18.
When she turns 18 (soon), she gets stoned to death.

Apple Stops Freedom Of Speech?
15th July 2010

Apple, of course, became a household name with its infamous 1984 commercial, about how Apple equipment would make sure that "1984" wasn't like 1984. However, now that it's 2010, apparently it's fine!
As you may have heard, Consumer Reports posted that it could not recommend the iPhone 4 due to the widely discussed antenna problems. This appears not to go down too well with Apple - and lets be honest, understandably so. However, if anyone tries to even mention the report on their forum by name or try allude to it, messages are deleted, deleted, deleted and removed from view immediately.

It seems at least one Apple forum has gone the way of Big Brother despite their earlier advertising saying different!
Further details HERE - a site where Apple is NOT able to shut the public up or delete their words!

Update: After much quick publicity at the vanishing messages from the public (and they protesting at their words being removed), a few messages now have suddenly re-appeared! Its been commented on many a web blog that publicity exposing the previous behaviour on Apple's forum has created maybe this sudden reversal of vanishing message posts!

Consumer Reports can be found HERE.

Rome Yet Again Refuses To Budge And Shows
How Stupid Their Values Are Out Of Touch

15th July 2010

The Vatican is issued the lates updats to their rules governing how to deal with childabuse found in the organisation by member priests. The rules included fast tracking investigations of anyone found to behaving in such a bad way. What has not changed however is that such crimes are to be reported to the a proper state legal authorty. Many governments, victim organisations and victions themselves have called for years now for such crimes to be compulsary reported and handed over to the civil courts. The pope and the Vatican instead however yet again, has decided to completely ignore that issue yet again.

"Clergy sex crimes must be reported to police and the Vatican must make this a binding policy that is uniformly enforced," said David Clohessy, of The Survivors Network for those Abused by Priests. "Today's action doesn't do that.

In a further testiment to show how completely the pope and Catholic organisation is out of touch with values of decency, they have listed the existance of female priests as par in evil with child abuse and murder. News of this latest out of date action is forcing many 70 plus high level clergy members into leaving the Rome organisation and setting up their own religious catholic system. Apparently an enlargening of an already widening split is on the cards as Rome grows more and more out of touch daily it seems.
