Imagine if I asked you to prove that someone in the Obama administration said No Child Left Behind was a failure. And you righteously offer a quote as proof. You attribute the quote to a man no one has ever heard of, but don’t post a link. Only that quote is from a journalist, not anyone in the Obama administration. With a name only, no citation of their position or job title, and with no link for the reader to check for himself, people are left to assume it was someone in the administration, since it was offered as proof of what the administration said. That would be deceptive, but it wouldn’t be a lie. And because this is the internet, I don’t make judgements about peoples intent. I don’t know if you MEANT to be deceptive, but that doesn’t change the fact that it WAS deceptive. One can be UNintentionally deceptive.

honestly, couldn’t have laughed louder than when i saw that!

wait wait wait…

Imagine a guy goes into a store and asks for a coke. The guy behind the counter hands him a diet pepsi. The customer says, “hey, this is not a coke, it’s a diet pepsi. I asked for coke, so I assumed you’ve give me a coke.” Then the guy behind the counter says “Ta Dah!”.

That’s you. That’s hilarious.

Like I said, your responses are pretty entertaining, but as much as I got a chuckle out of “Ta Dah!”, I honestly think you can do better. Maybe sleep on it, get a fresh start, a good breakfast, THEN type something. Yeah, try that.

i don’t think you should disprove a negative. just show us something representative of what nintendo really said to let us know that the expectations were wrong. (as i said before ) (it is possible to argue persuasively against a negative- i had to do it in a paper recently, but good lord it’s not fun!)

but don’t give other research assignments you wont do yourself. heck, just don’t give others research assignments. it’s smug and designed to create an artificial end to the conversation. as if any answer without your quote means your right and theyre not. Ridikulus!

ta dah!!!!!!!!!

wait wait wait wait….

Absolutely. I totally assumed you quoted someone from Nintendo since that’s the only quote that would have ANY relevance to the discussion. So yes, very deceptive.

And you can’t prove a negative (what nintendo DIDN’T say) with quotes einstein. If someone says they promised 1:1 control, no number of quotes I show that don’t mention 1:1 control could ever prove anything(this should be obvious). The only way to prove or disprove this is to either produce or not produce a quote where Nintendo promised 1:1 control. And so far, all we’ve seen is said quote NOT being produced. But for that, I’ll wait patiently. Hell, since you mention it, I’ll even light a candle if it helps. In fact, I’ll bookmark this page and come back every so often to see if you can come up with anything besides lame excuses and weak sauce attempts to turn this around on me. While they don’t actually achieve much, they are good for a laugh so feel free to continue to entertain.

still waiting for the quote that shows how nintendo really introduced the wii.. wait wait wait….

Deep – “@ used

Daverage- i’ve got this one for ya! (read: Yeehaw! Look at me!)

” relies on wireless technology with built-in motion sensors to translate movement directly onto a TV screen.””

So I ask for a quote attributed to Nintendo from DaveRage and you step in and call the ball only to provide a quote from…….a journalist? And never mention its from a Journalist? Without a link by the way. Deceptive. Pure and simple.

Nuff said. Moving on.
