I've learned for the next time to not say anything. Thank you for your time.
Here's a newsflash. You're right that subjectively not agreeing means you're for something else by default. But if you're going to make a claim, then support it with something like, "It's not far of a leap for some people to connect it to the videogame violence issue currently being decided in the California Supreme Court," then what you've done is equate one to the other by giving an example of a topic with the same merit that you also don't believe in (ie, video game violence= bad kids). And if you agree to the latter argument, which has equal weight to the former argument, then by default you've agreed to the former.

Even if that wasn't your intention, it's why the response you gave got that reaction; because you set up that type of argument, not because we don't understand your ways, or whatever you think. I laugh at the haughtiness of you're post as if you know what you're talking about when you can't even form an argument. GTFO kid.


I'm not a cynic; I just like to play Devil's Advocate once in a while.
