Just waking up and writing in non-native language requires coffee.

Ooooh, So much ooohs.
Somehow, suddenly I want to play Monkey Island again.

I realize there are a lot of people that think like you, and that's just sad. It is the kind of mentality that leads to bullying, desperation, and (in the extreme) the mass shootings.

Really? That's the only way you can imagine? What a black and white world, isn't it?

Indeed, because that's the direction the industry is taking, right? Oh, wait, actually it is robots that are increasingly taking over people's jobs. So when the bulk of production is automated, where does the economic power to buy it come from?

Taxes. RTFSummary for chrissake.

All your argument is irrelevant. A coder may make great software, that delight vis customers. Several users have happier lives, bla bla bla. Ve may provide excellent ROI for vis boss. Bla, bla, bla. Yet, the amount of taxes that individual coder pays, compared in proportion to what big corporations* do, is far greater.

* it seems people here are ignoring the big picture... calm down Apple fanboys, this is not only about your masters.

Well, it is certainly true for your friend (cayenne8) right above your comment, who said:

Altruism at its finest!

And just a quick comment on "It is also immoral to force people to pay for something that they choose not to/don't use": unless you are a complete hermit (growing your own food, sewing your own clothes, etc.), you are indirectly making use of things that you may have chosen not to use for yourself.

Except we're far from just barely surviving, while there are people actually struggling. Your indoctrination in individualism does not allow you to see how immoral that is...
A little bit of empathy would do you good.

It's kinda sad to have to spell it out loud... but here it goes: your tax money is used to benefit society; when you don't pay your taxes you are not contributing to society, yet you still benefit from those who contribute - that is immoral. Please, cayenne8, tell me how isn't that obvious?

Furthermore, how can a system where the "I'm gonna get as much as I can (regardless of my needs) and give as little as possible" mentality is the norm be considered moral?

Nobody needs to show anything that is openly obvious.
As I write this I can hear you say 'obvious to whom?'
To anybody non-retarded and non-sociopath, obviously.

And that's what you get when the technology allows it. But not in the case of the backdoors. No, the government would never abuse its powers...

IIRC, science says algae are (to use your expression) the planet's lungs, not trees.

As it isn't for the majority of politicians. Money is all that matters. I'm not American, but if I were, I would surely join these guys: http://www.wolf-pac.com/
Getting money out of politics should be your (you, citizens) top priority.

Sure, I just quoted the summary. And unfortunately people usually don't grasp the difference between determinism and predictability, as most of the comments here shows. What these fluctuations etc. do is just increase the chaotic behavior.

Yep, that's how humans work. Anybody that had the chance to observe a patient with long-term memory impairment knows that.

From the wikipedia:

Please, enumerate the situations where this would be allowed, and the reasonable uses of force as well.
