I find it ironic that MontanaHatchet says that Slimebeast is selfish when he's telling us that he can't provide for his relatives due to high taxation.

I really don't see how you, Montana, or anyone, could think that wanting to help relatives is a selfish thing, and shame on you, Montana, for saying that.

I don't like it because it's a similar attitude I've seem from Mafoo. That is, that someone's time holds some kind of great importance. If time was of great importance, none of us would ever play videogames. In fact, we'd spend every waking hour working and we wouldn't have much of a need for anything else than a bed to sleep in.

And shame on you for a lot of the things you've said or done on the forum. I won't name them, but you know what they are as much as anyone else.

It's not time.  It's the freedom to spend ones time how they would like.

When I "waste" my time playing videogames it's my choice and there is value in that.  I'm doing something I enjoy for leisure.

 

If you don't think is important and your own time is important.... think about how you feel when your waiting in line at a long line... and your stuck behind an old lady counting pennies, or writing a check, or something happens at a fast food place that takes longer then it should etc.

Sometimes you'll get absolutely pissed off about that stuff... and that's less then a half hour of your time.
