The most puzzling aspect of this is how most of the people who are against video games haven't even played them. i highly doubt, for example, that jack thompson went out and picked up a copy of manhunt 2. i thought we were taught to not 'judge a book by its cover'. maybe if some of those people tried m-rated games, they might feel that they aren't as influential as they thought. that may not be the case, but they won't know if they don't try them out. the lack of willingness makes their fight against video games much less credible, yet more and more people join in their attempt to clean up the video game industry. what persuasive technique is being used in the text? a. appeal to emotion c. appeal to character b. appeal to intellect or reason d. discredit the other point of view

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
