First, I want to tell you how much I genuinely appreciate your care and effort in replying to my comment. You paid it more respect than it deserved, a fact I acknowledge in hindsight. Second, I admit my bias in this matter. I, like many children of a certain era have a strong emotional attachment to Nintendo as a brand. Through highly effective propaganda coupled with, what I will admit for myself was, some of the only joy I experienced growing up a poor child of color in the rust belt of the U.S. Nintendo, Sugar Cereal, and Saturday Morning Cartoons were on the same level as Thanksgiving, American Football, and Church on Sunday. They were our politics, our religion. Third, I believe were we afforded the luxury of better conditions of conversation we would find we have many beliefs and values in common. I too believe stealing from Walmart is no real crime. I concede your arguments are sound. My observations and stated opinions were influenced more by emotion than logic. Again I appreciate you taking the time to share your opinions. That is something that takes more courage to achieve day by day.
