I hope you see the moral wrongs of your ways.

Morals are relative. Apparently as is hoarding. I bought one (1) Wii.

 Yes morals are relative.

Let's use the Catholic church as a prime example here. Their official stance is that sex before marriage is completely and totally wrong and amoral, but to most of secular society, there's nothing wrong with it.

That was fun, let's try something else.

Suppose you've grown up in a poor family where you've seen you older siblings steal stuff so you can have dinner that night, are you more likely to think that stealing is ok now that you've seen big brother pawn a set of golf clubs? You bet your canned refried beans you are.

 So yes. Morals are completely relative, most likely tied to how you were raised. See: Nature vs. Nurture.

OK, I give up. I was wrong, again. The Free Market is not moral. Helping means hurting. Providing a service = being a parasite.

Bare with me, I am still learning to accept my new overlord, emotion. All hail emotion!

Nice.  You come in after you think everyone is gone so you can vomit out idiocy and proclaim victory over everyone who had the guts to stick it out and have an actual debate. 

You can go right to hell, and Ron Paul too.

 Everyone is gone?  I don't know.  I went to work and so much no stuff posted I could not keep up.  It is not like I didn't make several posts.  Anyway, like I said, you win, I lose.  Call it a fillabuster or whatever you want but clearly I cannot hack it.

About hell, I do not think it is real but I like what you said, it proves that emotion did win :)

I understand what you are saying, believe me.  You find something moral, as long as it benefits you

Logic won the debate; emotion just got pissed off at you coming in here and acting like two lines of meaningless sarcasm trumps pages of rational debate on BOTH sides of the argument. 

Next post I see from you had better rebut the various points that have been made in the thread, especially mine, or you admit through omission that you have no decent counterpoints.  Or you can just slink back to wherever you went to when you left the thread the first time, and not admit anything at all.

on 14 games: i've seen wii being advertised with 39 games: Wii sports, Wii play, Carnival games (25 games). that was revolting. very shady business practice.

i always have a uneasy feeling when i read about people debating about topics like this. i'm in general on cdude1034's side, but there was a time when i was strongly on Final-Fan's side. i used to think that i've matured, but these days i tend to think that i've just changed, for better or for worse. either way, i find it heartwarming to see that there are so many people so strongly against cdude1034's actions. i suppose it helps to keep greed in check.



the Wii is an epidemic.
