“Whatâs funny is that the Bible is full of graphic violence and this asshole doesnât give a shit about that.”

That’s an overstatement at best. There are a few occassions in the Bible where some violence is described graphically, but it obviously isn’t done to tittilate.

Get a life, pal.

So, what, if someone somehow tricks him into spending a few minutes in World of Warcraft, he wont be bothering any of us anymore as he will learn what true addiction is, becoming a shivering wretched shadow of his former self? Sounds worth it to me. I know what a special someone is getting from Santa this year. Do you suppose he’ll leave the box somewhere where it will taunt him until he finally caves in, like a heroin addict thats been clean for years deciding that one little fix wont hurt if you put it right in his hand, or do you suppose he’ll throw the box away immediately to avoid all temptation?

“What I want to know is how the hell does someone become addicted to tetris?”

If you get addicted to a game as simple as Tetris, I think that speaks a lot for your self-control and mental strength.

Don’t forget Super Mario Bros, it advocates violence against turtles. Also it teaches kids that flowers will give them the ability to throw fireballs.

>”a Catholic priest”
Sorry, but if they’re going to be wrong about everything else, I can’t expect them to suddenly start telling it like it is.

Why should I buy anyone anything for Christmas, a holiday (created by pagans) to which the Catholics misapplied Jesus’s name?

Anyway, he blames the game rather than his own inadequacies in fighting the addiction. How absolutely stupid of him.

He is partially right. They are addictive. Now only if only people could come up with better plot-lines…
