I upvote that guy. People outside of America first world countries need to see what the rest of the world is really like. It will benefit them in the long run…
Good shit imo.
I support this guy and think what he did is really a really good idea. I dont understand how you can be so upset when thats his response to the haters.
Those other parents just salty because they don’t have money to do something like this. Broke asses…
I like what this guy did though. Reality can be so cruel.
This is all that’s needed for scared straight parenting.
the belt doesn’t just work for setting your kids straight.
it also works for keeping your wife in line too.
just sayin.
That sandwich isn’t gonna make itself, amirite?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I don’t think it’s about scaring. I think ultimately it’s about re-sensitizing his children and helping them realize that stuff really happens.
It’s important that children learn at a young age that the things they do in video games is NOT ok in real life settings/scenarios. I’m glad my mother put this perspective into my head early on. It’s a shame to see what some kids do because they didn’t know better…e.g. kid who shot people because mom/dad took away c.o.d. or some other shit like that.
It’s too bad the kids weren’t into Battlefield…they could have got taken to Syria instead. 
Underlying message to their trip in Israel:
Spoiler
Call of Duty sucks, Battlefield is better.
Cool Ass Dad
Shoulda just brought dem dat ttt2 so they can learn how to bound juggle their opponents in real life.
This is parenting at its best. I’m not kidding. He did the right thing, especially if their “wanting to go back” is a way to help those in need.
Remember that Florida girl that tortured a turtle? She tried to light it on fire and stomp on it. She was imitating gaming’s greatest hero. Why hasn’t Mario been arrested for tampering with middle aged Nintendo fans children’s minds yet?
what part was that? it wasn’t in the article or suggested by the article.
The point is the father knew the horrors of real war from seeing it up close. It’s nothing to take lightly and have fun with, period. Rather than have his kids fall down an ignorant rabbit hole and keep the game around as ‘just entertainment!’, he made a great decision to show them the reprocussions of real war. And now as a result, they reacted as he suspected any normal human being would, and wanted to have nothing to do with simulating casual killings, but put the games down alltogether, go outside and make some type dent or difference.
“in Sweden and Europe we are very privileged. We have all this wealth and rights and social services. And with that comes the responsibility to educate ourselves and not just become zombies playing video games and consuming hamburgers.”
dude has a point, we’re fast to trivialize and forget all the shit beyond our walls in this part of the world. Ironically, by taking his kids into a wartorn area, basically as tourists, he could be seen as trivializing the matter further.
Saying he is trivializing war is like saying Museum of Tolerance trivializes the Holocaust. Rather than showing pieces of war to his kids, he decided to immerse them in an entire society affected by violence.
Hmmmmmmmm this may come back to haunt the father later in life. Since he exposed his children to some violence now…something may go off in their brain and make them become lunatics or something. It’s happened before…it can happen again.
Lord Jesus that belt is thick. Knowing my skinny self, I wouldn’t even have an ass after getting whooped by one of those smh.
Tsk tsk tsk , no junk in your trunk.
