See this is what I truly don't get.... why people are so willing to spend so much on game systems that the companies make obsolete within 5 years and you have to pay another exorbitant price for the new one, not to mention restocking the whole video game library.
(if the company's were really smart they'd charge maybe a 10% profit on the system itself then hit the people with the price of the games themselves. Ah but the geniuses don't make the games .... pity.)
See my PC gets the graphics I need, if a game needs something I can upgrade my video card a lot cheaper than if I have to buy a new system, and as long as the game uses XP (which I don't see any jumping yet) I'm good to go.
I don't need games so realistic that I lose touch with reality.
There are people teaching their kids to kill us, to hate us and using our ignorances and greed against us......
What are we teaching our youth? Stay inside, don't worry about imagination or being in shape and just vegetate for hours in front of your newest bestest top of the line game system.
No wonder our professional athletes suck and are so injury prone....
I appologize but this is just the height of greed and how truly out of touch with reality this country is. We've lost sight on what truly is important and what Christmas is truly about, love, generosity, goodwill toward men....etc
Worst supporters of this nihilistic, ego driven, selfish, hateful, commercialized season is? The Christians that claim to be so close to Jesus that "Only they will get to Heaven." It's ironic, hypocritical and sad.....
And Jesus said unto them, "You must go out in the season you celebrate my birthday and buy, buy, buy. Pay more for those game systems than you do for your children's schooling. Let those systems be your baby sitter. Worship the dollar and all that it brings..... and forget what the fuck I preached about...it doesn't matter, you "read" the Bible, you profess to believe in me, you'll go to Heaven.... You don't need to live with the ideas I taught in your heart, when you would rather enjoy a love of money and all that it can bring you here."

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
