BBC News: Have Your say part I

Why are so many people on the BBC News have your say site completely unreasonable and post so much sillyness. You can't reply in person to their comments, so I'm gonna start doing so here. First up a bunch of people who like nothing more than to say that people that are interested in computer games have no life and owning an XBOX 360 means you do nothing other than play it all day.

Do you have an Xbox 360?

No, and since I have a life I won't be getting one.

Glad to see that life you have includes spending time reading a discussion about a console you don't want and then posting a statement which has no input other than to put down other people you don't even know.

Sad people. They must have such tiny, uninteresting lives, if all they can contemplate doing is sitting playing silly games all day.
More fattie couch potatoes I think!!

Yeh, we could be doing so much better things like surfing the net looking for an online discussion we can flame. Not every XBOX 360 owner is going to play it all day every day.

No. I don't have one, I don't want one, I don't need one.

I have a full, busy life and wouldn't WANT the time to sit playing on x-boxes/playstations or anything like that.

I'm out there - LIVING LIFE!!! :-)

So presumably you don't do anything with your time which is for the sole purpose of entertainment or enjoyment, no reading books, no watching movies, no going for walk. If this is true I wouldn't want your life much either; if you do waste time doing activities which have no purpose other than to entertain you maybe you could realise that different people enjoy spending their time doing different things.

Is this the second coming of Christ? GET REAL!! It's a games console!!!

Then we wonder why we have the society we are lumbered with...

I'm sure all of societies problems are caused by people who are passionate about something they enjoy spending their free time doing. If anything, getting our youth addicted to computer games keeps them off the streets mugging old ladies.
