America 101 for Foreigners

[ignerntbend]

I get it, video games are fun, there just isn't anything redeemable about them.

Dude, there's plenty of redeemable things about them. For example: don't you want to go to heaven? Because even if you don't you might want to consider the alternative and rethink your situation. Read the thread, dude. I'm pleading with you. How can you be right about this and everybody else so wrong?

What about simple relaxation? So can a by-product of the game, if not the game proper, be of value especially if one allows that a player plays only in moderation and not to the neglect of more important things?

I never found video games relaxing.

I don't legitimize the huffpoo

Ah. Well, obviously that means nobody else ever could. THE MIGHTY LEE1000 HAS SPOKEN!

Aren't you just so clever with your little names? Bless your heart; you're not about to risk learning something from somebody with a different point of view; we've already established that yours is the only correct one, right?

 

[lee1000]

Irredeemable, how do you dispute that without reaching?

 

[ignerntbend]

This thread isn't weird enough for me. Maybe it'll get better.

 

[Dave70968]

It's going to be okay, Lee. Just show us on the doll where the bad game touched you.

 

[ignerntbend]

OK, It's getting better.

It's going to be okay, Lee. Just show us on the doll where the bad game touched you.

Irredeemable

 

[dennishoddy]

Oh, look, somebody else who thinks his opinion on things is the only correct one. Just lovely.

Speaking about yourself again I see.

 

[Dave70968]

Speaking about yourself again I see.

Nah. I have no problem with saying "I don't care for x" instead of "x is irredeemable." The former is a statement of personal taste; the latter is a statement of absolute value, applied to all.
