Luckily, in this modern age, government corruption is totally under control! I'm glad that lobbyists don't have influence any more.
Elite is different from elitism. They are also usually mutually exclusive.
Yes.

Yup. Gandhi was imprisoned 4 years for sedition.

music: an artistic form of auditory communication incorporating instrumental or vocal tones in a structured and continuous manner
Just because you don't like hip-hop, rap, or synthesized/corrected vocals, doesn't mean it's not art or not music. Music is an intensely personal experience.

I've never claimed on
It's also silly to criticize Microsoft if there are torrents of virus-laden MS Office floating around.
This requires user action and piracy. No one can -ever- claim that -any- computer is safe from, essentially, social engineering.
The best commentary I've heard on profanity laws and censorship. Thank you, sir or ma'am.
I don't see why that's outside the scope of Wikipedia. A video of the disaster could fall under "historically accurate [depiction] of what happened."
I agree that lectures would be a bad idea, but some full-length videos are very informative and useful for research purposes.
I work at home. I don't expend any gasoline or carbohydrates getting to work.
Memory fault - where am I?
