I read a short diatribe many years ago by a working mom whose kids were always asking her why they couldn't spend more money on entertainment purchases like video games. She was having trouble getting through to them, so one month she took her paycheck, went to a bank, and got it issued to her in 1-dollar bills. She took the bills home and piled them up on the table in front of her kids, who were amazed at the giant pile of money she had made. She then went through her budget with them, stacking the bills into piles by expense type: this many dollars for rent, this many for utilities, this many for groceries, this many for soccer uniforms, etc. At the end there were only a couple of dollars left, and the kids soberly realized that they needed to wait about 20 years and then start downloading games illegally online.
Sven,
Your comment was a fair and well balanced response.THis is the internet. We have NO ROOM FOR REASONABLE PEOPLE HERE! SO CUT IT OUT!
If you don't have some unusually sarcastic cutting remark, or a batantly stupid thingh to say, DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!
ABOVE ALL NEVER NEVER NEVER ADMIT THAT BOTH SIDES OF A POSITION MAY HAVE MERIT!
UNREASONABLE FANATICISM IS THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE FORM OF RESPONSE HERE!
WE NEED PAGE VIEWS DAMNMIT! CONTROVERSY, NOT EDUCATION!
MY GAWD MAN! THINK OF THE ADVERTISING REVENUE!
OH THE HUMANITY!
