You don't think there is a problem in America then?You ask what aspect of the culture and Christianity in America is threatening to the rest of the world?
Does the thousands of innocents killed in retaliatory strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq ring a bell? Clear proof of the danger they pose.
The fact that there are thousands of American/ Christian fanatics there who will do anything in their power to kill the greatest number of Muslims. They are 100% resolute in their commitment to terrorism and murder. They are willing to kill women, children, even babies for revenge for '9/11'.
This is not a problem to you?
The reasons I stated above are the whole point of why we are going in there to change their political structure and society.
American empire-building is a cancer there and their whole society needs a complete cultural reform.
This is not racism. This is fixing a very serious problem that is a real danger to my country and it's people.

I think IceFire has a point. Religion, traditions and culture are not traits you are born with. There are elements that you from some perspective can call 'toxic' or destructive or undesirable. The problem is in the "perspective" part. Just like Christian fundamentalists like IceFire can say that Islam is 'toxic', Islamic fundamentalists can say that Christianity is 'toxic'. A hardcore atheist would say that both are undesirable and that religion should be forbidden altogether.I wouldn't call discriminating against a particular religion racist.... but it is discrimination.
By the way, I'm a hardcore atheist, and I'd never call for religion to be forbidden- and I don't know any freethinkers that would. WHile it is evil, bad for humanity, and worth being rid of, 'forbidding' things doesn't work.
Quote[/b] ]The mature and reasonable approach (incidentally the guiding principle in democracies) is that there is no absolute perspective and that there are different points of views that have equal values and should be respected as such.
Unfortunately, that is the type of garbage that gives rise to cultural relativism and other nonsense. It is simply not true that 'truth' is subjective. The plane either crashed or it did not. People have their own interpretations of events; but the events themselves are digital and discrete; they happen or they don't. Yes, of course we may lack knowledge about some of them, but that does not change this fact.

So Icefire, would you support a war to rid america of the fundamentalist government/ peoples that infest it?

I think you are confusing 7.62x39 and 7.62x51, and possibly 7.62x54.The 7.62x39 is indeed an intermediate cartridge used in assault rifles such as the AK-47. The 7.62x51 is used by machine guns as well as battle rifles (M14, H&K G3/91, FN FAL, M1 Garand). The 7.62x54 is used in the Dragunov and some light machine guns such as the PK.
You're right except for the garand, which used .30-06 (7.62x63 mm) There were some later attempts to convert it to 7.62x51, but they were unsuccessfull.

When did I mention war? Hasn't anyone ever told you there are other solutions than violence?
-
So even the hardcore Bush administration supporters are admitting the gash they talked about invading Iraq due to human rights violations was bullshit? Excellent.

Simons: Download the OFPwatch utility and use that. It will tell you when the mission is finished and automatically download any addons you need. Its better to organise the addons into seperate folder(s) which OFPwatch can also do and use automatically for the server.
The best servers... well opinions vary, but any you can see linked to in people's sigs in these forums are guaranteed to be good. Which one is best for you depends on how hardcore you like to play (no 3rd person, no crosshair) and where you are. But when you find one that is good for you, stick with it and get to know the people.

Any time a bunch of religious fuckwits want to kill each other, I'm a happy guy. Not good that (relative) innocents got in the way though.
Would someone explain to me how this is so specially different from the bombings of other businesses, though?
-
So according to BBC news 24, North Korea has probably been testing WMDs and chemicals on their own citizens (political prisoners.)
Are they going to be ignored, because they might put up more of a fight than the Iraqis? Or will the US prove they really do care about human rights abuses.....
No links found as yet. Will update when I find some.

Someone's been watching too many US war films.
Real soldiers don't grab a massive map and spread it on the ground.
And the rest of the suggestions are either already suggested or ..bad.

As I've said before, I am on a military shooting team, and have been on similar teams for years. Firing a weapon in a game, even one as realistic as flashpoint, is absolutely nothing like firing it IRL, not to mention everything else you need to know how to do (reloading etc.)
People can claim that the poor parents shouldn't be held responsible for not caring about their children all they like, but at the end of the day it is their responsibility. How do we change society for the better? Stop making stupid fucking lawsuits blaming other people (ie games companies.) All that is needed is a few judges presiding over such lawsuits to say
"No, sorry, they are YOUR children, do your job, case dismissed and a fine for wasting my valuable time."
For the fiftieth time: being responsible for children doesn't entail being with them 24 hours a day.
Especially in the case of parents who blame games that THEY bought for their children.
The solution is to make parents aware that if their kid goes awol, THEY will be held responsible. At the moment they don't care, because they won't be.
-
Because it was hard to do, too much work to do, and wouldn't make that much difference in their opinion; but mainly because it was hard to do.

You cannot answer the questions. You cannot make any decent points. All you have done is claimed some games should be forbidden (banned), refused to elaborate, claimed you never said anything of the sort, then started with this line about parents not being responsible for their children.
Its amazing.
Like it or not, parents are legally responsible for their children. That is a simple, demonstrable fact. Go and argue with the government if you do not like it. Don't complain that children don't listen; its still a fact if they listen or not. Don't say parents cant stop children doing certain things, because they can; and usually its a lot easier to do so by talking to the child instead of shouting at them.
*edit*
I am NOT saying, Balschiow, that it is always easy or pleasant for parents to 'control' their children: BUT THEY ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE.*edit* *edit2* Thats responsible as in accountable; liable */edit2*
Don't claim, either, that games companies have some responsibility to tailor their games for an age range they ARE NOT SOLD TO.
-
Bah, I side with Bals on this one, totally. It is a problem of society, and if anything will fix it, it will have to be solved collectively by the society.What is the problem, as you see it, and how will banning good games solve it?
-
Respect for human life is the limit.Answer the question, please. If you can.
Who decides where the line is? How do you determine what deserves to be banned and what doesn't. What makes your opinion and mine that OFP shouldn't be banned (or shouldn't take tighter responsibilities) more right than the lobbyists who insist ANY game featuring violence of ANY sort should be banned?
Thats the problem; please try to answer it, not make flip remarks.
I don't watch any shite like that. That is how we deal with things we don't like in a consumer driven commerce: we don't buy it if we don't want it.Quote[/b] ]Same goes for surgical operations on MTV or other bullshit. Don´t you see the results of all this crap every day ?
Quote[/b] ]Well maybe you ask my girlfriend who works in a Kindergarden or my neighbour who works at a primary school. Ask them what they think about your ,all is up to the parents stuff. They will tell you that children are more left alone these days. Why ? Because their parents have to work, father fulltime, mother parttime to keep their income up so they can afford living. What do you tell them ?
I tell them that they are STILL responsible for their children, whether they like it or not. I already told you they don't have to physically be there all the time; they just have to show some slight remote interest in their own children: trust their babysitters, guardians etc. Not leave them in front of a TV or a computer all day: that is simply bad parenting, pure and simple.
Allow them to use the TV or the computer if they want; but not simply dump them in front of it and leave them with no further thought.
'WAAAAAAH ITS NOT OUR FAULT WE ARE BAD PARENTS'
Yes, it is. It is your own fucking fault, not the TVs, not the games.
Its really simple: show an interest in the kids. They do not have to be there all the time (this will be the third or fourth time I say this, just in case you put words in my mouth again.)
Quote[/b] ]Yeah, check the computers...Hey man , what are you trying to sell us here ? Even I was smart enough to hide my Karateka tape and my Doublke dragon floppy fro my parents. Do you think parents get an computer course automatically with a child ? I know a hell lot of mothers who have no idea of how a comp works other than operating word or doing their online banking.
Let me draw your attention to one simple fact:
THESE PEOPLE BOUGHT THE GAMES FOR THEIR KIDS
Read the article.
The woman KNEW her son and his 'friend' were playing the game; she knew the content of the game; she simply did not give a shit.
Quote[/b] ]Don´t tell me that parents have the only obligation.
Parents have the only responsibility for their children. GET USED TO IT.
Crap. Lazy parents. Can't be bothered. Bad parenting.Quote[/b] ]That´s just nonsense as everyboidy knows here it can´t be controlled if the kid doesn´t want it to be controlled.
Show me a child that makes enough money to own their own computer and internet connection. The parents can stop them playing such games if they want to. They could also talk to their children once in a while, you know, have a discussion with them, find out whats bothering them.
Quote[/b] ]And that´s part of my opinion I still stand firm with. YOu certainly won´t change that Baron. How hard you try, I don´t mind.
Still waiting for the answers you know you cannot give on forbidden games.

Just realised I have a 5 Digit ID,never took any notice of that before.

British army had 6.5mm ammo they were going to use until the Americans forced all of Nato to use 5.56.....

A solution is never found by blaming someone for someone elses stupidity.

Quote[/b] ]Game developers, TV, etc are NOT responsible for raising the children of fuckwit lazy parents.But they are responsible for content control. That´s it.
BIS is best example. Or don´t you think that a lot of people would like to have bodies that splatter and limbs flying through the air. Does BIS do it this way? No they say they have a responsibility to follow and that´s what I mean.
...No, they don't / didnt have the engine that could do it or the resources to spare, so it was never a consideration. Would you have still liked OFP if all the weapons looked like magic wands and shot streams of feathers?
They didn't do it this way because of responsibility, they did it because it was the best choice for them in terms of aesthetic and engine load. And even if it had been implemented, it wouldn't change a thing about the game; just eye candy. You're talking nonsense.
OFP's level of violence would be seen as completely irresponsible by the people complaining about violent games. You might not think so; but some would. Where is the line? Eh? You draw it at manhunt; they draw it at barbies fashion designer. Who is right?
Quote[/b] ]That's not answering the censorship questions.Would you pls hold your breath ? I did not say that I want total censorship. I neither used the word itself. So pls hold it.
How many times must I show you using the word forbidden until you admit it? How can you sit there and claim you didn't?
You did.
Forbidden = banned.
There is no such thing as only banning 'some' violent games. That is the point. You cannot do it. Can you accept and admit this. (Saying 'I was wrong, I don't want any games forbidden' would do)
That has absolutely nothing to do with it. Parents are responsible for their children until they reach legal age. End of line.Quote[/b] ]And you have always done what your parents wanted you to do, right ?
Thats why we have a ratings system.Ratings system have not much effect this days, parents buy the games and teenagers already know where to download illegal copies of movies and games.
EDIT: There is many PC mags. where it is 18 rated demos on,
where is the rateing on that?
As has been said many, many times in this thread, the rating system is not a law; it is to help parents mainly in knowing which games are suitable for their children and which are not.
How do you know the demos are 18 rated if they don't have ratings on?? That makes no sense. Heres a hint: Look on the cover of the mag or the box, there WILL be a rating on it.
Well, I am talking about America at least, we knowit's the parents' fault, what can you do, fire all mom's to stay home with their kids and restore proper parenting practices? You aren't, so okay ratings, but ratings do not stop kids from looking at this stuff or playing it apparently.You can stop listening to their whining and their bullshit law suits; you can pass laws making responsibilty matter; it is NOT the companies fault that their stupid selves hurt themselves by using the product wrongly. (eg McDonalds Coffe bullshit)

You all know that parents nowadays dont sit on your shoulder 24 hours a day. And you all know that most of your parents obviously don´t know wich games you play. Right ?Sure they have responsibility, but game developers have a responsibility either so has the government, so have schools, so have media in general.
Or do you really believe that only parents are guilty for more than ever violence among children and teenagers ?
That's not answering the censorship questions.
And you're wrong.
Its the parents responsibility to know what their kids are doing. They don't have to be there 24 hours a day, they just have to take a slight interest in their kids and know what they like doing.
Game developers, TV, etc are NOT responsible for raising the children of fuckwit lazy parents.

Exactly. So why do you want it realistic but want to be able to fly around in a magical camera?
-
Why do you complain about what most people would say are minor, cosmetic things, purportedly in the name of realism, but play games through a magical flying camera?
-
The ..... 3rd (I think) terminator game (Rise of the machines?) was actually pretty good - it was one of the first games to have drivable vehicles and aircraft in it - way ahead of its time.
This looks like it could be good, to be honest - but it won't be, because its been over simplified.
