His point is that YOU have no room for comment what so ever based on your online time calculation. Besides, why should you care about any of this? Are you the mother of xbox? If you are... that should splain alot! And for those of us that work our a@@es off everyday, day in, and day out... to come on here and read about childish baloney like it's the new mania... why it upsets some people. They feel unappreciated and maybe in the pits! Support would be better than reply like a skank! Just sayin'
1. Sure I do.
I'm not being hypocritical, just pointing out the blatant hypocrisy. I absolutely actively engage in online foruming. So? I haven't complained about how anyone chooses to use their recreational time - online or otherwise. People that chide others for a similar behavior in which they engage deserve to have their hypocrisy called out.
2. I came to this forum and I care about this topic because gaming is an activity in which I engage and am interested in - especially the topic of the newest XBox system since mine is currently in need of repair...or replacement. I am no one's mother.
3. I could likely spank the pants off you and a heck of a lot of others when it comes to working hard every day. Maybe that's something that should be considered before judgement is passed. Not only do I work an insane amount of non-traditional hours each week, they are fast paced, high pressure, physically demanding hours that are inconsistant, unpredictable, and in an environment that has a higher than normal degree of risk and is void of all social media. Even when I'm not working, I must still meet very specific standards that limit my choice personal activities. For my first degree, I used my GI Bill, the second I paid for out of pocket. I, no - we - my husband and I- are in our early thirties and have no debt with the exception of a mortgage, are active, healthy, and independent. Which brings me to #4..
4. YOU feel unappreciated?! Please. A gamer starts a thread to discuss the new XBox with others that share in their excited anticipation when others bring their hypocritical assumptions of gamers being jobless mooches into said thread despite the fact that those people do not even participate in gaming, have no interest in it, and are clearly unfamiliar with their target audience. Now a bunch of gamers are (again) having to defend themselves against a baseless stereotype. THAT's why you'll get little support from this girl.
Maybe some education would help ease some of that resentment.
Just sayin.
