things are far more complex than you make them out to be. one example i'm seeing just at the bottom of the post is the blanket statement "facebook is the devil." i get where you are coming from, but this isn't a very comprehensive statement - it's a good thing, but i definitely wouldn't liken it to a state of the union for video games, because it's far too specific and personal and doesn't look at all sides of the issue.
