Well, it should be. I don't understand why so many people tend to get angry just because someone tries to peacefully yet firmly disagree with them.

If I saw someone forking over $80 for a game, you bet I'd speak up. There's a difference between speaking your mind, and ramming it down another's throat; I try not to avoid the latter, but silence isn't the only alternative.

If I was in a store buying a game that cost $80 or more (which I have done before and probably will again) and had someone come up to me to tell me that my purchase was "foolish" I'll be honest...I wouldn't see that as someone "speaking their mind". I'd instead see that as someone being an ass or possibly even jealous. Yes we all do have our opinions on the matter, but one thing that nobody likes is being told what they can spend their hard earned money on. If they worked hard, saved and chose to buy whatever game, even if it cost them 1k, who are you to call them foolish or criticize the purchase as foolish? It's not your money so you're or anyone else's opinion doesn't mean anything.
Nobody is on here criticizing your game purchases, so why criticize any one elses? Everyone's budget is different, some more then others but if it's what they want and what they work for then more power to them.

It should be what, a country?! A given? What are you, like 10 years old or something?
"Peacefully" insult people? You're an asshole, plain and simple (FYI, I'm not "peacefully" calling you an asshole. I'm calling you an asshole because you act like an asshole and I don't like you).
You wouldn't say a fucking thing, and if you did, you're an even BIGGER asshole and you might just get bitch-slapped for it. If that's not ramming your opinion (that nobody gives a shit about) down someone's throat, then I don't know what is.

Took the words right out of my mouth Wiggy. I can't tell if he is a troll or does not know when to shut up.
You could get things cheeper, but its harder to find someone who does not care about it and let it go for cheeper. That Ocarina of time cart you got for $20$, I got for $0.50. I got a $100 Goldstar 3DO for $30, I got lucky. I even get a lot of things free from people. You can hunt around for a good deal, but some things are rare and hard to find for $1 at a tag sale, so you have to pay what it is worth if you want it so much, if not you can wait for a deal, but on a lot of things you are going to wait a long time.

Oh great, I replied to this thread too late, after Moviefan2k4 pulled his Ultra Troll Finish and fucked up the thread ::)
