I could be wrong about this but since you love the military so much, wouldn't you want to encourage military style games such as Call of Duty? After all they're meant to glorify war and the military but they're rated M. And I have to say, Grand Theft Auto has been the scapegoat of the video game industry for years. If a violent act occurs, people want to assume it was GTA that caused it. But it's just a silly game, it has no bearing on people's psyche. My family's been playing that game for years, and we're not violent people. As I've said before, if you look at people's history you'll find that before games, television or even newspapers, we were pretty violent creatures with nowhere near the compassion we have now. Even the Bible is practically a bloodbath.

That said, I really wish arcades and pinball halls would make a come back, I adore pinball.

Bear in mind that was I was in a bad mood when I originally wrote this, and that my mind is so warped it can't be fixed. M-rated games are the games I've seen the most in cases of people that don't have a life and just sit there and do nothing but played the game. Even adults are included. That's the reason such games are unpopular in Wildcat City; they'd prefer to actually be of service for those that go into it.

I was never a serviceman myself, but that's linked to the autism I suffer from. Also linked to the autism I suffer from is the fact I've never won an argument in my life (not against you, anyways).

Arcades and pinball games I don't have a problem with because those are games you can play for a time and then go do something else with your life, and some of those games have a military theme which I have played. Take for example, this game, Commando:

I think so long as you're open to hearing other ideas, you're more than capable of eventually gaining an open mind.

I'm pretty knowledgeable on the behavioral traits on Autism having been in the Autism program when I was in school (despite never officially being diagnosed) but I wouldn't attribute it to why you don't win many arguments, that's more to do with the way you shut out all information you deem negative or contradictory towards your world view. As I've stated, if you at least consider and ponder such things, you'll find it easier to make a more informed argument.

I agree that people are too attached to their electronics these days but games are just another toy like anything else, doesn't make anyone a bad person for liking certain ones. Now obviously I'm a pretty big fan of games so I'm more prone to coming to their defense, hence how many times we've had this discussion.

Exactly; my weakness is being close-minded. All these re-uploads are going to show that, especially when they state cases like what was in this narrative. Here's hoping we don't have this discussion any more times, although chances are we will; I have another story I have yet to re-upload, and it's about how a riot over World of Warcraft being put to an end (because of global fear of Leo the Patriotic Lion's huge voice) leads to the end of video gaming altogether in Wildcat City (it shows how extremist I am).

Leo's voice can reach 750,000 people easily without a loudspeaker, by the way, and it has proven it is capable of starting natural disasters and earthquakes, making it the deadliest weapon on the planet.

I don't play World of Warcraft, but what's your problem with it?

I guess I didn't like the concept of it, because I never liked the concept of MMORPG games. Again, I've been so close-minded that it's taken its toll on me and I've paid the price for it. My mind is so warped I'll never fix it.

I also avoid it to protect myself, as I don't want people stealing my identity; I'm already taking a chance as it is with FA, and my parents and brother are furious with me for ever starting an account, talking to a bunch of people I don't know, and who could potentially harass me and be cyber bullies. Amazingly, that's never happened, but I do have a very trusting nature and I place my trust in everybody (as opposed to my brother who is hard and cynical and trusts absolutely nobody), and thus, I am just begging for identity theft (or worse, getting murdered with a knife).

Er...well first of all unless you publicly post your address there's no danger of being murdered with a knife. Not to mention, why would anyone do it? You're not hurting anyone. Second, if your personal info such as your social security number isn't posted anywhere on this site then nobody's going to be able to steal your identity. I think you worry too much.

I'm sure that family of yours would have a colorful choice of words for me, though.

Colorful? They would never use profanity or innuendo. They are conservative as I am, so upon learning you are liberal, they could potentially debate with you on issues. But I was a problem child all my life, and it's not just because of the autism.

You're calling yourself a problem child because your views and attitude differ slightly from theirs? That's a terrible, self-defeating attitude to take, there's nothing wrong with individualism.

I didn't necessarily mean they'd swear, I'm sure they just wouldn't be very approving of our continued interactions.

Only because I don't know you in person, and I tell people too much information about myself on average (although never the phone number or social security number).

All I know is that you're a christian conservative who likes tigers, marching bands, super heroes and game shows.

That's pretty much all you need to know. One thing I didn't mention about that was that one of the few shows I enjoy that isn't a game show is this, the classic Batman series from 1966. Try these if you wish:

I was never big on super hero films although I have nothing against them. But as wrestling fan, I realize that wrestling and super hero shows and comics are very similar, so I'm quick to come to the defense of both.

I see. Wrestling never appealed to me, but for some strange reason, the "wrestling on skates" did: roller derby.

An example of that would be this here:

That was before, not now.
