So people aren't entitled to enjoy the music they choose?
I enjoy a lot of mainstream music. Just because I don't listen to much indie stuff doesn't mean your taste is 'better' than mine, or that I don't appreciate it as much as you do.
Avoid this hipster thinking that if something is obscure it's better or more worthy than something popular.
I don't think the OP is implying people should stop talking about it. It should be discussed and taught, but not used for personal gain. I.e., no-one should use something that happened to other people (such as their ancestors) as an excuse to get special treatment or sympathy.
Similarly, people should not be blamed for the crimes of their ancestors.
For example, I'm sure you don't hold white people you meet responsible for what their ancestors may have done to your ancestors, since neither they or you personally were involved in the issue.
Money is one of the things that encourages contribution. If there's no money, why would anyone work? How would scientists obtain the resources to cure diseases? How would products be created if you don't get anything for doing so? In fact, why would anyone even be educated if there's no difference or payoff for curing cancer compared to being a cashier?
Why would anyone obey road rules if you don't get fined? How would great products be created if EVERYONE can have everything, resulting in not enough for any (see: poverty).
In your explanation, you state "In this system, a person can have everything he needs and all the reasonable material wants he desires so long as he contributes to the society in some positive fashion". How will you judge what a positive contribution is? How will you decide what amount of 'reasonable material' he is then entitled to, without everyone just claiming everything?
Oh I know. How about providing them a suitable amount of resources equal to the amount of contribution, rarity of the job or quality of what is produced?
You know, kind of like money does.
This is one of the most stupid, short-sighted posts I've ever seen. Please go to school and learn why this is the worst idea imaginable unless you enjoy mass unemployment, poverty (no-one's farming or manufacturing because they don't have to, since there is no incentive to do any job in particular), anarchy and fighting / rioting over resources.
Having next to no money and equal access to resources has worked great for North Korea. Perhaps you should start there?
Widgets are little frames of information (like a sticky note) you can cover your homescreens in.
For example: an updating list of the latest emails received, icons showing the weather forecast, play/pause buttons and song info for any music playing.
You just cover the homescreens (like a computer desktop) with widgets that can give you info and let you control stuff without having to go in and out of each app every time. That way you can tell stuff like if you've got any new emails or the weather without having to open up the Email app or Weather app.
There are always going to be people overlooked in their achievements, but that doesn't mean no-one should be recognized and awarded. It follows the ridiculous logic of 'if someone doesn't get something, no-one should get it'.
Eg: there are kids starving in Africa. Therefore, no-one should get food.
You also don't see a 10 year old with a deep man's voice, so I guess it's a choice when your vocal pitch drops too.

I.e. does not mean 'for example'.
It means 'that is to say'.
E.g., "You messed up an amirite post to do with grammar. I.e., you're an idiot."

If you're not totally fine with your son being the way he was born, then you need to rethink your parenting.
But what if they ARE speaking a foreign language? :O
Wow. So many people don't know the meaning of the word 'ironic' anymore.
I'm a hoarder in games...never actually end up using rocket launchers or health packs because I'm always paranoid I'll need it later.
I didn't read this amirite post. I just clicked Agree.
You realise that's just communism?

The real question is: what is the difference between sex and French sex then?

Then it's a good thing you don't want to be a teacher, as teachers need to know the difference between "your" and "you're".

Yes, by a sweaty, middle-aged man who will be finished in a few seconds, move onto hundred of others and charge by the hour for doing so...
