    No, they are not reasonable. Not at all. A reasonable remark is
    "What are we going to do about all these criminals and murders? Why aren't we holding our elected officials feet to the fire?
    Those are reasonable remarks.

    It's victim blaming when you say it's the victims fault, or that the 'deserve it'
    Not for advising them to use stronger passwords and tools.

    Yes. It. Does.

    I look forward to your paper on how wearing short skirts means it the woman's fault for being raped.

    You attack ME and you are at fault regardless of the fact I was in the woods at night.

    You are a horrid, uncivilized human being and should be shunned for society.

    fallacy.
    I use a password the is based on my personal life. Good luck finding out which part of my personal life.

    The MORE personal info about me, the harder it becomes to to guess my password becasue you are inundated with info.

    And you can use person info as a base to derive from.

    nope. Far more hacking goes on that is in no way illegal, then people who use hacking skills to commit crimes.

    It's a bad example, and you should feel bad for using it.

    "So very little music you hear out today can be considered "musical" at all."
    bullshit. I could go on and on with current music that is, be any definition musical.

    There where people in your day(mine to from the sound of it) That thought the previous generation was real music, and so on.

    " And music splintered, and money took over"
    says everyone who doesn't like a shift in music for all time.

    "and while there have always been one hit wonders, that is now the norm."
    No, it's always mostly been one hit wonders. The 60s, 70s, 90s where FULL of one hit wonders. Look at the charts at the time. You have forgotten the crap of you generation and only remember the greats. and since no one plays the one hit wonders(seldom, anyways) from that generation, kids will where the good music from the time.

    Tell me, are you amazed the the pinnacle of music coincidentally coincides with the music you liked when you where in your teens?

    Think about that a bit.

    But that's not the issue.Apple isn't saying they can't, they are saying they don't want to.

    So having a will, a death certificate, a solicitor, and willing to personally meet with Apple is now simple and convenient?
