In Reply to: Your Criticism Seems Somewhat Arbitrary..... posted by AudioHead on October 28, 1999 at 08:50:51:
I am not putting down the entertainment that you get out of any art, music, movie, games, etc.. But I am questioning their existence, only when the amount being spent on it is so ridiculously high. I'd rather see that much money being spent on some medical research. But that's not going to happen as long as there are people that encourage that..
focus on the capitalistic underpinnings of these types of activities.
Hi Audio Head, your responses were very interesting, thanks.. I want
to get back to the interesting and more challenging stuff, how about them movies?? Thanks again..
I realize that overpaid golfers might offend your moral sensibility; but think about
professional poker players for instance, the top dogs make buku bucks
in Vegas tournaments, heck, they don't even have to walk around in the
elements and make swings like golfers; they just sit on their cans and
throw around cards and chips. How's that for an imbalanced physical effort vs paycheck ratio!
There is a considerable degree of pressure and stress, however, that must be
factored in at that level of competition and with stakes that high; wonder
how high the heart attack rate among top poker players is vis-a-vis the
general population? Seems it would be somewhat higher, considering the
amount of stress and the fact that they can't release that stress, keeping
it all pent up with stonefaced demeanors and all.
