I agree with your parents, Joe. Also, Newby has a valid point. One thing he overlooked, though: they pay for internet and electricity.
They both use the electricity and internet, and playing a game doesn't really spike either of them into red zones that Joe should pay for. At least, as far as I know, it wouldn't really be necessary.
WoW is $15 a month that
they aren't able to use, and don't particularly care to I wager.
It *is* my money.
Tell your parents to suck on a bible. If it's truly your money, explain that to them. Explain that you want to play the game, and you pay to play the game, and that if they have a problem with that they can refund any money that you are charged in the future that you feel you didn't get the full product out of.
@Sidoh:
Boo. Perhaps asking me to cut back, but grounding me completely is just asking for me to get pissed and never talk to them again. They won't even give me a ride to church tomorrow, and claim it's to *stop* me from playing WoW. Flawed logic, anyone?
If it's becoming a problem in your life, cutting back may be a good thing. Stopping something cold turkey is stupid. Only if it's a drastic problem should it be stopped dead in its tracks.
As for not giving you a ride to church... perhaps it's for the best, Mr. "I won't go to MIT if I get a 100% scholarship beacuse I'd rather go to clown college!"
