Boy oh boy, news stories like this one make me realize how good we have it…


The Taliban have been issuing letters reminding people of their obligations to their religion. They claim that the "shiny new phones" are contrary to religious beliefs and dignity. Users of cell phones with multimedia abilities (i.e. Pictures, Videos, etc…) have been told that “they must not have immoral video clips, pictures of unrelated women and handsome boys on their phones”. Also against the rules are ring tones with verses of the Koran. All of these offenses can and will be considered "serious crimes". Those who think they are above the law will be punished severely.
I’m glad I don’t live there.
