When someone is superstitious about something that another person thinks is silly or stupid because they don't believe it.

From my Peruvian ex-roomie I learned that it was for peasants or general degragatory for poor people; or in the opinion of the rich people 'the indians'.

The government of the United States of America.

The US government is "owned" by the civilian population of the United States, and they have the right to voice their opinions without consequences from the government.
There are three branches of the US government, from lowest to highest in power:
Local Government (run by a mayor)
State Government (run by a governor)
Federal Government (run by a president)
All three of these levels of government work together (sometimes; it depends) for certain purposes, such as involving taxes and how taxes can be used for various services. For example, the local and state governments work together, often, to create local services, like schools, police departments, and hospitals. The federal government, on the other hand, is rife with countless services and agencies, with enough power to serve the entire nation and other nations.

When one thinks of the US government, they usually think of the federal government, which is, as mentioned, the highest level of government.

The US government has been bashed time and time again concerning its true purpose. The US government does have certain secrets, but the US government is better than any other government if you stop and think about it. The US government is run by bureaucrats, not thugs (all kinds of nations think our government is evil and gone mad).

Although it is entirely your opinion, hear mine : THE US GOVERNMENT IS NOT EVIL.

A word used by stuck up teenagers who think that if music is popular and the album gets into the top 10 then the band are automatically are rubbish and are terrible.
One of the most 'sellout' bands of our time is Green Day. I am a Green Day fan and I will freely admit that but I have friends who in 2000 liked Green Day but since American Idiot claim 'Green Day are shit! They are such sellouts!' And these people haven't even heard of Kerplunk. I don't think that any band has sold out. Every band sets out to make music and to hopefully be famous. Everyone wants a limo. Everyone wants £1m record contract.
Being rich doesn't mean you make rubbish music. It doesn't mean you don't care anymore. It just means you are rich and have a lot of fans.

And Good Charlotte? MTV from the start in my opinion.

While giving evidence at the trial of Stephen Ward, Rice-Davies made the quip for which she is most remembered. When the prosecuting counsel pointed out that Lord Astor denied having an affair or having even met her, she replied, "Well, he would, wouldn't he?" (from Wikipedia).

Hence, "MRD applies" means "he would say that, wouldn't he". Usually used to devalue an opinion by drawing attention to the other-than-impartial situation of the person voicing it.

An unresolvable and ultimately useless comparison.

A comparison which is just as easy to support as it is to contest.

Something which is both the same and different simultaneously depending on your point of view.

alt. *Apples to Apples*--Though not the initial meaning, occasionally the phrase "apples to oranges" is used to dismiss a "distinct difference" noted between two things which are not distinctly different. IE the neverending opinion wars often attributed to brand-loyalty. These are based on imaginary chasms of vast differences which cannot be proven or conclusively settled. IN other words these things are not really very different, but people desperately want to believe they are.

Black Thought is the lead rapper of the hip hop band The Roots. In my opinion Black Thought is also the best rapper ever. The reason I think that is because Black Thought has NEVER, and I mean NEVER, disappointed me! I have all of their albums also so I've heard pretty much all of his stuff.
