    That's not the point.

    The point is that you're saying its ok for online violence with fake death to lead to real violence, but not for online gambling with fake money to lead to real gambling.

    You're arguing the ends, I'm arguing the means. The Ends do not justify the Means in this case. Simulated Violence is not violence. Gambling is not simulated. There is a difference, therefore your point is irrelevant.

    You compared Apples to Oranges. Ergo, you don't know what you're talking about and are full of shit.

    You say: Online gambling can lead to real gambling, and as such is not OK.
    I say: Online violence can lead to real violence. Do you think that's OK?
    You say: No, but they're unrelated.
    I say: Why? How?
    You say: durrrr...

    Pathetic.

    I said one is Cartoon violence and the other can lead to serious addiction.

    You can't get addicted to Cartoons. Apples and Oranges. Stop asking if Apples taste better.

    So suddenly Japan doesn't exist, then?

    And FYI, I was talking about addiction to murder (ie. serial killers) compared to addiction to gambling.

    We could be talking about Apple and Orange addiction and be just as relevant to the main topic. I think oranges taste better, what about you?

    Learning from Archer I see. If you're going to play like him, then fuck it.

    If you can explain to me the relevance of Serial Killers to an online gambling system for SC2, I'd love to hear it.

    I already did. You ignored it, or were too stupid to understand it.

    So then you think that SC2 has the same addictive potential to create a Serial Killer as Gambling does for a Gambler. Are you daft?
