*flies back in and lands with a thud* Sorry wasn't thinking clearly, I had just woken up when I typed that post. Prehaps I should explain...
Yes SS I do care that the X-Box will succeed for those that believe in it. And if it does, I might just as well get one myself.
Basically the reason for first three sentences are explained in the second to the last one. I am fed up and the reason is simple. Because I know that no matter how many facts are thrown, how many names are called, etc. there will be people who will stubbornly stand by what they believe in. The pro X-Box, the pro PS2, etc. Then you have what I call the 'true neutrals' which is what I am. There is very little that provokes me one way or another. It takes a lot to get me angry or to make me sad. The reason is the same as why the sky is blue and the grass is green: it just is...and therefore I'm just am.
I have watched this debate (and others), occassionally putting in my piece when I felt it approprate. A lot of the times I just shake my head at the stubborness of some ppl who just can't see that they are not getting anywhere with the debate. Debates like whether the X-Box will fail or not, whether Harry Potter is the work of the devil, whether eating meat is moral, etc are truly pointless to me...as no one can win them.
So I ask you...all of you...before you hit that 'Reply' button, ask yourself this:
"What is the reason for this reply? What is the likelyhood of me proving the other wrong? Would I just be wasting my time?
my personal answers:
To add fuel to the fire of a pointless debate.
Not likely.
Most likely.
