If you would have left in the rest of my article you would already have my
answer. Who gives a shit if they can't afford it? It is not a neccesity of
life. We're not talking about some poor homeless bastard stealing food to
feed his kids, we're talking about a bunch of cheap little creeps that won't
save up their milk money for a _game_ (otherwise known as a "luxury"). It
does not matter if you are a "starving student" (what bullshit), it is still
wrong.
I used to be one of those "starving students" and I don't buy this line of
bullshit rationalization. If you can afford college you can afford to _BUY_
your toys (or did mommy and daddy pay for everything (if so, ask _them_ for a
copy of DOOM ][)).
