You never answered the questions.  Yes, yes, I know my grammar was
awfull, but the point still remains.

However your response does suggest that you completely object to non
productive entertainment.  Your "alternative" forms of entertainment
also points out an elitist view.

Tell us Mike, what do you like to do for fun?  Do you enjoy following
sports teams, going to the opera, going to the movies, reading a novel.
I also really enjoy the last three myself beyond computer gamming, but
in the grand scheme of things all three are a complete waste according
to your logic. 

Lastly, this is a silly discussion, but fortunate for you I ALSO enjoy
the sport of argument for sake of argument.  ;)

Having fun is an accomplishment as is learning a foreign language,
writing 
a book or becoming a Supreme Court Justice.  There are probably people
out 
there who have so much fun that their accomplishments are as great as 
those of Einstein, Beethoven or Gandhi.
