Eh, I totally agree, but hasn't this topic been done positively to death?

I completely agree with everything you said.
I also think you?re a entitled brat if you pirate a game and then complain that it isent very good.
Or if you pirate a game at all, since you're basically saying you should have it for free while other people are paying for it.

No. People who say the answer is always between two extremes are just afraid of taking sides. Sometimes it's between two extremes, sometimes it isn't.
Can I get an example of that? Note: My counter argument will be (if any) that your example is not two extremes.
What you're referring to sounds like the [a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_to_moderation"]Argument to Moderation[/a] and Wikipedia defines it as a logical fallacy. You'll be able to find many examples on that page.
And if your counter argument is that the two opposite sides in these examples are "not two extremes" then I would say you're contradicting yourself because you said the answer is always between
two extremes.
Edit: I said there were multiple examples in the link, can you not follow a link? But fine, if you really want me to copy/paste them here I can do that:
- "Some would say that hydrogen cyanide is a delicious and necessary part of the human diet, but others claim it is a toxic and dangerous substance. The truth must therefore be somewhere in between."
- "A 100 ft canyon lies in front of Jack and Jill. Jack wants to build a 100 ft bridge to cross the canyon, but Jill doesn't want to cross at all. A compromise between the two would be a 50 ft bridge, which would only please Jill."
- "Bob says we should buy a computer. Sue says we shouldn't. Therefore, the best solution is to compromise and buy half a computer."
- "Should array indices start at 0 or 1? My compromise of 0.5 was rejected without, I thought, proper consideration." ? Stan Kelly-Bootle
- "The fact that one is confronted with an individual who strongly argues that slavery is wrong and another who argues equally strongly that slavery is perfectly legitimate in no way suggests that the truth must be somewhere in the middle."[4]
- "You say the sky is blue, while I say the sky is red. Therefore, the best solution is to compromise and agree that the sky is purple."
- "Jon wanted to touch the fire because he said that fire is cold, Jim said he shouldn't because it is hot, So they compromised and said it was lukewarm and Jon burned off his hand."
