Do things need to get worse before they can get better in the US?
The people who think they're poor because all they have is the old iPhone 5, only have a 32" flatscreen and not a 60", or are forced to play COD on a Wii - do they need a taste of true poverty before they can be thankful for what they have, and would a better attitude lead to a better life?
The people who think that it makes sense to be leveraged to the hilt because your image demands you drive an S-class, who spends so much on themselves that there's nothing left over to use to fix the genuine social problems in the world, who sucks all the meat from the bone then refuses to share the marrow - do they need to experience poverty to realize what they could have accomplished with their resources if they hadn't been self-absorbed?
Would we be better off if we had nothing for a generation?
Nope!
- Will my voice sound better or worse on recording? To practise for auditions, I record myself (on my iPhone 4s if that makes a dofference) singing and doing monologues. What I want to know if those recordings make my voice sound better or worse than how it actually is, or if that's how everyone else around me hears my talking/singing.
- Things to do before a concert? I'm 12 and I'm going to a concert next year on July 8th and all my cousins (I'm the youngest) have a tradition that in the year running up to the concert you need to make a list of 15-20 things to do and complete them before the concert or you have to pay 25% of the next concert ticket price and including me there are 13 of us. Really don't want to pay too much for the tickets next time because I'm saving up for an iPhone.
- My aunt and uncle have the same Apple ID. I think they need separate ones, do they? I've told them to get separate ones in the event that they need to back up their phones or get new ones. Don't they need separate ones? They hardly back up their phones or hook up their iPhones to the computer.
- Just because the world could be worse, does that excuse us for not trying to make it better? Shouldn't everyone be working to further the revolutionary effort /end concepts such as tyranny, privilege, and wage labour? Why should we give up now just because we have Iphones and flat screen TVs, what about liberty, equality and fraternity?
