I said maybe they shouldnt have it, what person under 18 needs to pirate
in the first place? They dont NEED something that badly do they? Im sure
they can find a suitable replacement thats cheaper... In any case if
they keep the same prices there as they are here and the min wage it 10x
lower well then by all means, pirate the hell outta it if it keeps you
going, you do what you gotta do.

Heh yea so I hear... Well I have no real arguement with piracy I just
like to see what people use as an excuse, thing is pretty much everyone
here in the US that uses that excuse cannot be for real, you can get a
game for like 50 bucks and you make 50 bucks in a day.... With a burger
King job.
