here's my dad's line of thought: because i play an online war game, where i shoot and/or knife other soldiers in game, so i will do in real life: shoot real people and knife real people. in other words, my father states there is no difference between reality and *in game* fantasy.
ok, we know the above is preposterous, but you can see what he's driving at. worse still, my video card burned out and my dad says he will not buy me a new video card because of *his* logic in the first paragraph.
how would you counter argue against my dad's line of thought in the first paragraph? that is, what sort of verbal defense would you use against him. forget that i need a new video card, what sort of defense would you suggest against his argument.
