Are you people kidding me?
[Read the article: I left New York for San Diego and now I don't know where I am]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This guy has not left his home city in a year, much less traveled, much less scouted out the city he wanted to move to...
just decided to move half a world away one day,
then did it within 3 weeks... and surprise, surprise..
it did not really work out?
I think I invested more thinking and planning into buying a sofa!
There is nothing to learn about moving or East vs. West Coast here. This is about learning how to plan and decide like a responsible, rational adult. Or if you want to be a bum and move across the country on a whim... don't write
to a help column when you get lost.. it's pathetic!

It's not what he is not saying, it's what he is not doing
[Read the article: It has been 10 months and he still won't say "I love you"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]True, love is not about words. But, love is not about feelings either.
Love is about actions.
While LW is not trapped in a burning building, she clearly is in some sort of a distress.
And what is her lover doing about it?
Is he able to comfort her? Obviously not.
Does he have enough empathy for her, that short of help in her, he would break down in tears himself? I think not.
Conclusion: he does not love her.
Action: she needs to dump him.

Subversive?
[Read the article: iPhone hackers add ring tones, wallpaper]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So, let me get this straight:
Once you buy an iPhone, you MUST use it to make calls on AT&T?
You can't trash the thing, you can't put in a drawer and forget it? You can't cancel the contract? You can't keep paying
to AT&T and simply not use it, and use another carrier instead?
I mean.. you just have to talk on AT&T network, or else, you are being subversive?
Wow... you'd make Adolf Hitler proud.
I tell you what, if I ever buy one of those things,
I'm gonna use it in most ways that that SNL skit suggested, including as a treadmill, if so pleases me, and I guarantee
you there is not a damn thing anyone will be able to (or even care to) do anything about it.
In short: hacking into your own phone is as legal as modifying your own computer. As long as you are not using it to break the law otherwise, it's OK.

The topic is not the conviction, it's the treatment of the convicted
[Read the article: Padilla: Guilty until proved guilty]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]@Elephantma:
Are you stupid?
We are not talking about the conviction of this man,
but about his TREATMENT!
No one kept Libby in solitary confinement for 3 years, didn't they?
God... only the morons are left on the right of these issues.

It's analytical journalism that's dead. Killed by bloggers like you.
[Read the article: Art movies: R.I.P.]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Ever heard of David Lynch?
How about Jim Jarmusch?
Dare I mention Aki Kaurismaki?
Or Emir Kusturica?
You sound to me like a person who does not go to movies much,
and is now trying to justify that by saying there is nothing to see anyway.
Either that, or you are not able to value anything that hasn't received decades of critical acclaim.
Or maybe, your definition of 'dead' is not 'not being made',
but instead 'not being appreciated by a large percentage of moviegoers'? I don't agree with that either, because I doubt
that moviegoers that were forced to watch Bergman in his prime
went because they really appreciated. I think they just did not have the choice of say.. staying in and watching American Idol.
Oh.. and don't even think of putting Antonioni in the same category as Bergman.

It's not for you, it''s for me!
[Read the article: A wireless touch-screen iPod. A video Nano. And a much cheaper iPhone]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I feel the pain of people who want a better phone,
or an HD. I just wanted internet access to go along
with an mp3 player. And this is finally it.
As far as I am concerned: good job, Apple.

Are you kidding me?
[Read the article: The best TV show of all time]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I am guessing "Twin Peaks" is so far ahead of everything
else, it's not even considered a mere TV show anymore, right? :)

California does NOT have winters
[Read the article: Should Bush open up the oil spigot?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Mountains where no one lives do not count. The Bay Area and LA do not have winters, therefore California does not have winters.
Compared to people in New York and Chicago, Californians do not use public transportation at all.
I mean... I live in NYC and I don't have a car. If you live in Cali you know you have a car, and you know you drove it for at least 10 hours this week, right? :)
It's 50 degrees in NYC today, and 75 in LA, so don't talk to me about California winters, please!

Here is my advice to everyone who has children
[Read the article: My wife keeps cheating but we have two kids. Should I leave her?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Before you do anything, ANYTHING... ask yourself this question: 'is this the best for my kids?' Not 'would I enjoy this?' and not 'would this be a fun thing to do?'.
And by anything I mean from shopping to going out to working,
and concluding with sleeping with people behind your kids' other parent's back.
And yeah, I am aware that doing something for yourself CAN
be good for your kids too, just make sure it actually is!
If you don't treat your kids that way, they should be taken away from you, and then you would not have to come here and bother the rest of us with stupid letters such as 'I am in hell, and I have kids'. Now you remember you have kids?
So, in my opinion, LW's wife has lost her right to be a parent, and thefore she has to go from this family. Then again LW lost his righ too, and so, I helpfully propose that they give their children to me, and after that, they can do what they want with themselves. No one cares.
Alternatively, they should hand their lives over to professionals, as Cary suggests. That's a good advice too.

I assume everyone with a brain knows this, but apparently, not everyone has one...
[Read the article: John Gibson wants rappers arrested for their lyrics]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The equivalence of this kid being arrested for singing "motherfucker" in public would not be arresting artists for recording such a song, but rather arresting radio station djs for playing it.
