Well, he says that his parents wouldn't let him play video games when he was a little boy. It's natural that he wasn't prepared for his first "tetris session" so he got hooked. It's like you gave a caveman to try video games. Of course he wouldn't be prepared for what's in store for him, thus he'd get addicted to it.
Maybe his parents should have taught him some self-control instead of raising him in an isolation bubble.
My first computer. If I don't count my uncle's ZX Spectrum and my parents video games console, I was really too young for videogames then and those were not mine. But C64 was mine and came at the right time.
I'm also sharing games with some friends. I think that you can download it as many times as you want, to as many machines you want. But the game will play only on machines where that particular account is ACTIVATED (account management>activate system). And one account can be activated on up to 5 PS3s. That's what I think...not quite sure though.
It's not stealing. You've been brainwashed by your government. It's sharing.
When you steal an apple from someone, he no longer has his apple. You did harm to him. But if you copy a song from your friend, he still has his own copy and you have yours. that's sharing and you did no harm to your friend. Well, whether you did some harm to the artist who composed that song is another question. You might as well never have thought of buying it in the first place.
Yeah I kinda agree. I was a kid when there was a religious war in my country. Catholics VS Orthodox VS Muslims. Wow, what a religious festival, you can't even imagine. They just ran around slaughtering each others throats, raping women (and men), drinking beer and dancing folklore. All the time praying to their Gods, preaching love and peace (yeah, right). I'm pretty sure most people enjoyed it and now that it's all over, they feel nostalgia.
a phobia means the irrational fear. It doesn't mean that you're terrified, scared, it's just a normal fear that makes you hate someone.
People/animals usualy hate only things that they are affraid of. For whatever reason. When you hate an enemy in war, you're affraid he could harm you, and he could, so it's a rational fear. but to think gays are sick and to hate them is not a rational fear since they can't harm you, they don't wish to, and they're not sick. Hence the name pho...
