so you are making a forum post to tell people of your opinion that making forums posts to express opinions is stupid.   did i get that right?

do you understand that people enjoy expressing their opinions?  would you like me to link you to a dictionary definition of the word passion or maybe hobby?

Word up.

Best thing to do is have a chuckle at the stupid short-sightedness when it appears and let it go.  That way, everyone wins.  The OP gets to speak his/her mind, and you get to have some fun.

eh, i know a girl who got a doctoral degree in the subject of medieval string.  who am i (or you) to judge what over people get passionate over?  i mean, you have over 6,000 posts here at VGC which quite frankly (i would approximate) 99.9% of the world population would say is a stupid hobby/passion.  don't judge less you want to be judged yourself.

I would hold the hope that theoretically that getting a degree in that will somehow lend to knowledge base of humanity.  Not sure what one gains from worshipping a corporation though, and being a footsoldier for it, and NOT beind paid.


LIke all religions eh??

Actually, it has been shown scientifically, the part of the brain exercised in by individuals who are extremely loyal to a brand (say Apple or Harley-Davison, or even likely video game consoles), is the same part of the brain involved in people who follow religion.  So, there IS a connection, and yes, like ALL religions.  The difference is issues at hand.  In normal religion, the meaning if life, and other metaphysical issues are involved.  In corporate worship, it has to do with where you spend money.  One can argue that the individuals are compensated in all cases, but the compensation for corporate worship is far less.

I totally agree and i add to, that doing that not only you don't get paid but you help the company to maintain the high prices. Because of alegated sucess that fanboys promote.
