11:00:17 | Lucifer | OK, time to start |
11:00:30 | Lucifer | This week's topic is "the utility of fantasy" |
11:00:49 | SLacker | [gallery] Lucifer Darrow nods |
11:01:23 | Lucifer | No doubt we all engage in fantasy from time to time |
11:01:35 | Lucifer | Reading novels, watching movies, playing games |
11:02:04 | Lucifer | But at what point does it become detrimental? |
11:02:28 | goomba | the point you sign up for world of warcraft |
11:02:34 | Lucifer | heh |
11:02:48 | SLacker | [gallery] IRC: Lucifer: test |
11:03:10 | goomba | one person was complaining about his brother not going to highschool for 12 days while playing wow like 18 hours a day :P |
11:03:25 | goomba | i hope that was an exaggeration |
11:04:00 | Lucifer | I'm sure that happens sometimes |
11:04:27 | Lucifer | Some people play it every waking hour |
11:05:01 | Lucifer | That kind of behaviour is widely criticized |
11:05:21 | Lucifer | But the question is who are we to judge how they spend their time? |
11:05:44 | Lucifer | No matter what we do, someone out there will judge it to be a waste of time |
11:06:29 | goomba | as long as they can support themselves i suppose they can do whatever they want |
11:06:52 | Lucifer | * Lucifer nods |
11:07:00 | Lucifer | So it is really up to the people that support them |
11:07:11 | goomba | if its actually hurting them in the long run though people might want to help out, like they do with drug abuse and the like |
11:07:22 | Lucifer | Obviously (I think) they aren't harming anyone except possibly themselves |
11:07:28 | goomba | im talking crack smoking punching cops on the street drug abuse! |
11:07:47 | Lucifer | first hand experience, goomba? ;-) |
11:08:00 | Lucifer | how many cops have you punched? |
11:08:04 | Lucifer | * Lucifer scortles |
11:08:09 | goomba | he was asking for it |
11:08:13 | Lucifer | no doubt |
11:09:03 | goomba | well if they dont realise they are hurting themselves, like i said some people might want to intervene |
11:09:08 | Lucifer | OK, we agree that some people become addicted to fantasy |
11:09:37 | goomba | as for the actual utility of it, i hope someone else steps in and has ideas on that :P |
