Comment Re:Speaking as an iPhone Owner and New Yorker (Score 1) 187

I talk to a friend almost every day who lives in Brooklyn and works in Manhattan, and I'd (mostly) agree. Manhattan + iPhone/AT&T = awful. We'll have 10 dropped calls in a half-hour period, depending on where she's walking. It's pretty brutal. Brooklyn's a bit better, but I still notice way more problems (drops or corrupt sound) than other carriers.

I'm using Virgin, which piggybacks on Sprint's network (I believe), and haven't had any problems at all. Only issue is getting reception in certain buildings, but I'd blame that on the cheapo phone more than anything.

Arm everyone. In Vermont we can carry hidden weapons. We don't need no stinking government permits. You never know if the person you're confronted is carrying a hidden handgun and will whip it out to shoot you. That knowledge makes you a whole LOT more respectful and it means that we have the weapons to take on a terrorists, bank robber, home intruder, etc.

Excellent point, good chap. The sheer number of concealed weapons has surely made America one of the most respectful places in the world today!
