Its not that I dont respect your methods and beliefs as a parent - your arguement about video games and kids is sensible, its just that its not consistent. The fact that you post it on a video game forum is ironic.
And there is no 'lift' in telling you that I see a glaring contradiction in your conviction, how can I get a lift from trying to put sense on someone who is so close minded.
You didnt make this post for discussion like one would tend to believe in this discussion board, thats out of the question. You either made it as some form of enlightenment for others, or for some way of reassuring yourself that you are doing the right thing.
Rip, sometimes "BECAUSE I SAY SO" will not be enough to your children, even though they shut their mouth for fear of reprisal - kids keep thinking about it, and trying to work out the logic behind it (thats why they can be so inquisitive)
I'm not saying that you should have a bunch of self serving, spoiled brats playing Mario and drinking coke all day while you try to explain to them like adults why you dont agree.
But sometimes "Because I say so" is a good way to raise followers, not leaders and invididuals.
Think about it.
Or, you can just believe that I'm attacking you.
-edit-
I'm sure that he could probably tell someone more about specifications of WW2 aircraft than you could. Come to think of it, I'm certain of it.
Maybe so, who cares about specifications for obsolete aircraft. Thats useless data.
I'm a pilot, and a student physicist, I could not only teach you how to fly in real life, but I could also teach you why the plane flies and all the underlying forces that make it that way.
One of the ways I learned all this was spawned by the curiosity for the physics engines in old space games and first person shooters.
Aces High is not the only game you can learn stuff from.
So there really is nothing that makes AH more aceptable than other games, other than you liking it.
