Should we impose sin taxes on recreational items like TV's, iPhones, laptops, etc?

Anti-smoking advocates want to tax cigarettes for their costs to society. Okay. How about all these items? They're often mass-produced using a lot of petroleum-based chemicals and plastics, they are designed to break easily and be obsolete quickly, they use a lot of resources, they lower workplace productivity, and so on.

Rampant consumerism is doing way more damage to society as a whole than tobacco is. Should we impose a sin tax on this dangerous behavior?

Switching over my 4s to a 5s?

Ok, so my upgrade was today and my mom bought the iPhone 5s for me from Target because it was cheaper than Apple. My 4s was never backed up because there was too much stuff on it, I figured it out now and it's currently backing up. It's going to take 24 hours to complete. In the meanwhile my 5s is activated so I'm getting text messages on this one. But I have no contacts or anything because I haven't switched over the iCloud yet, I accidentally logged onto my apple ID on my new phone, once my 4s is done backing up will that mess anything up on my 5s? I just want my contacts, pictures, and messages back on my phone as soon as possible.

What happened to my iPhone D

I recently dropped my iPhone 4S and it cracked so I brought it to bestbuy where they gave me a refurbished one. So when I got home I I turned it on and to my shock and horror it had the same layout it had a year ago with old pics d apps and texts too. They were from 2012 and I had deleted them already. Please help I'm so confused as to what's happen we r going to take it back but until then I don't know what to do. I think it might have been the update that put it back a year or two but I'm not sure. Has this happened to you. 10 PTS to best detailed answer

IPhone Christmas present mess up

So for Christmas I was hoping to get a new iPhone. However my parents made a mistake and instead of getting 5s they got 4s. I'm not complaining but I'm just wondering what steps I would have to take and how much money I would have to pay to upgrade to an iPhone 5, 5c, OR 5s. We have Verizon. Btw I'm pretty sure that the regular iPhone 5 is only $100 and 4s was $50. I know there's a phone company that let's you upgrade free. If you know about this I'd appreciate it if you'd give me some info on it.

Am I a outsider or the weird One in school?

Am I a outsider in school.

I like rock, metal, and rap. Most kids like dubstep, and rap.
I like outdoor, only kids who like the outdoors are the "Jocks"
I like to play with toys, not Xbox or computers.
I HATE how my "peers" talk about sex, and drugs, and laughs about it.
I cry when I got a LIZARD, because i LOVE reptiles, and my friend Allen cry when he got a IPHONE!

My Twitter icon is gone but still installed (iPhone)?

I just got the new iPhone so I'm assuming it's running on the latest OS? Anyway, yesterday I was using the Twitter app. It started acting up all of a sudden. It would close immediately after I'd open it. Then I'd click the icon and it wouldn't open at all. Then the icon disappeared altogether. It's still installed though. When I go to the app store it only gives me the option to open the app, but when I press open it won't. -.- I've checked the other pages and the icon is definitely gone. What do I do? I've tried to restart the phone and it still won't come back. Any solutions?

AT&T iPhone 5 with Straight Talk $45 plan?

I recently bought an AT&T iPhone 5 from a friend. I tried going with MetroPCS, however, it needed to be unlocked.AT&T needed the previous owners information to unlock the phone which i do not have access to (because the friend bought it from someone else). And prices for unlocking an iPhone 5 are through the roof. I heard about the StraightTalk unlimited $45 plan. I don't know all the details just that all i need to buy is the SIM card since the phone is already with AT&T. If you could please tell me the details and whether or not i should get StraightTalk or just get my money back for the iPhone. Please and thank you!
