Does this make me a bigot for understanding what marriage was created for?

Which is the good tech support?

Why not? How is the Wii-mote any different than a mouse? And the keys on the Wii-mote are pretty much like a keyboard. The newer editions of Metroid have you aiming by pointing the Wii-mote, this is not much different than any other FPS on the computer. It would be much easier to use a keyboard/mouse than the Wii controllers.
