To teach your kids to respect your neutral range.
Flat ass is flat.
remember that israel is a wealthy country with many nice areas that aren’t getting rockets shot at it.
@pedoviejo is that belt actually swedish? pretty cool imo lol
Apparently games are evil.
Let your kids play CoD. Then make them get out of the house and exercise.
And on the other end if the spectrum we have a POS like this:
I hope he gets what’s coming to him, in this life or the next.
He’s not Australian. Not after that.
There are an increasing number of Islamic Australians going over to fight in the Syrian conflict, and others. One became a suicide bomber, at least two are now wanted on terrorism charges as a result.
Fuck that shit.
actually they are Mexican belts. IDK if Swedish folk have the same, but in Mexico they “cinto piteado/cinto de pita”. You’d be surprised at some of them. I would never wear one, but the stiching on some of those belts are remarkable.
He said it directly in the part I quoted.
The idea that people will correlate CoD with perceptions of war. That’s not an implication, it’s taken as a given in his statement.
So, instead of just not letting his kids play those games because they are too young, he expended funds frivolously to put his children in potential danger of a bus explosion? Now instead of playing videogames that people like to believe turns you into a psychopathic killer, they want to make repeated trips to the country where they can potentially be killed by an exploding bus?
Also… I thought Israel banned direct flights to and from Muslim countries.
I see what you did there.
I see your bamboo cane and raise you one horse whip

I think it’s too early to say. Depends how this ends up being perceived. Right now its just being used as conservative sensationalist fearmongering, but for interest’s sake, what if the attention is drawn away from the actual issue of war in the middle east?
I’d say most people who’ve heard the story make it into a story about gaming or parenting already, rather than awareness. They take the point about how out of touch we are and how bad it is over there, stuff it in their pocket and go back to talking about how it affects them personally.
To add to that:
I had a similar discussion with a couple of soldiers at Eurogamer last year, when they were laughing about how unrealistic CoD Ghosts was, compared with the real thing. It’s nothing like it and it shouldn’t be. It never even crossed my mind that people would draw a serious comparison between a game and reality. Not a gamer at least.
Maybe it’s just me but gaming is a form of escapism. An odd kind, since unlike TV or music, it actually requires l interaction from the user with other users, but its purpose is still to give you an ‘unreal’ experience. Are people playing CoD and thinking ‘shit, I’d make a great soldier, it’s clearly loads of fun, when’s the next flight to Iraq?’
I think his kids have gotten an eye opening experience out of it, and will forever know how fortunate they are for it and the fact that it was just an ‘experience’, but gaming shouldn’t even come into it.
Not true currently. The only difference now is the frequency and the time you have to run to shelter from the moment the alarm starts. In the southern cities it’s roughly 15 seconds and in Tel-Aviv it’s 1 minute.
Bonus points if its a head shot.
It Only Does Everything.
Swedes are great looking folks. If you ever see a Swede on vacation they’ll be in impeccable shape, pretty sure they have state mandated weight training there or something.
Woosh! The point is flying over your head at 800 MPH.
It isn’t about them becoming psychopathic killers. If that was the case, he’d have told them no and that would be that. It’s about empathy and imparting decision making to your children. The children are the ones who decided they didn’t want to play the game, not the parent telling them they couldn’t.
You’re trying to twist this into an anti anti-video game debate when it’s not.
i’m swedish and i have never seen a belt such as the one pedoviejo posted.
sooo errrhm ya just saying! :))
How many Mexican Swedes are there? 
:tup:
