Red Cross what are you doing you're supposed to be good and not dumb.
I feel like going up to them and scream YOU GUYS ARE FUCKING STUPID! And then proceed to make them realize how fucking stupid they are for even considering this shit.
this is pretty much the most retarded thing I have read all day
I don't know why some people are considering the No Russian mission that horrible. Compared to the shit you can do in about five seconds on Saint's Row 2 or 3, it just pales in comparison.
Go fix some real wars, cunts
I wonder if they're turning into PETA? Much talk, little work.
[QUOTE=Noth;33626123]This is [B]not[/B] the Red Cross we all know and love (ICRC), but rather the Red Cross Red Crescent (RCRC) organisation. However, they do associate with each other, but that's as far as it goes. The ICRC handle peoples well being, donations, charity work, POWs, etc. The RCRC work in each country it's in, according to that countries local humanitarian laws. So, to the RCRC, violent games are bad because they don't conform to humanitarian laws. I doubt the ICRC actually give a shit.[/QUOTE] Ok, for a second there it had me raging. I always knew that the real Red Cross was too good to worry about stupid bullshit.
[QUOTE=Cone;33625666]The things they want to arrest you guys for are nothing compared to the jobs I pulled in Liberty City. I'm wanted in twenty-five states.[/QUOTE] Got nothing on what I did in Saints Row. I'm wanted in all Fifty. Parts of French Indonesia too for some odd reason. :v:
can they be sued for libel or something along those lines?
Red cross just went full retard. I don't think they understand that the Geneva Conventions only applies to humans and last time I checked, a bunch of 1's and 0's in a computer is not a human being.
or at least mass stupidity [editline]8th December 2011[/editline] AUTOMERGE
[QUOTE=Hidole555;33626192]Is there a version of that game on the internet somewhere? Also, looks pretty dated. Look at the part where that scrap heap meets the sand. It almost looks photoshopped in.[/QUOTE] I think that's VBS2, a military sim made by Bohemia Interactive. Getting the actual thing will cost you a few thousand bucks as far as I know, but ArmA is pretty much just VBS with less stuff.
As I have been deemed a war criminal I request as a death wish that all cashiers and internet site owners that have provided me with the tools to commit genocide upon thousands of pixel people are captured, questioned and tried for assistance of a war criminal. -Richard ''Strelok'' Dent.
I thought of volunteering to help. Fuck it
[QUOTE=shian;33626756]I thought of volunteering to help. Fuck it[/QUOTE] yeah i was going to donate my time to improve the lives of others too, but that was before they insulted my precious video games with what amounts to a thought experiment

[QUOTE=viperfan7;33626888]I'm just going to quote this again[/QUOTE] they're not even saying "video games are bad" they're just saying they're concerned and want to look into the issue it's like a completely reasonable attitude to have [editline]8th December 2011[/editline] i mean i'm super concerned when i see a 7 year old playing grand theft auto 4

[QUOTE=McNab;33626301]Um This guy needs to be fired, or something.[/QUOTE] Well, I guess all those studies were right... People are starting to not being able to tell real life from video games after all :v:
I wouldnent get too worked up about this, illeagal or not; Imma play my fucking video games
What the fuck. No seriously, what the fuck.
Hitler ain't got shit on me.
Every book author is a murderer and everyone who reads it too. They imagine the death of the characters, aren't they?

Red Cross seems awfully distracted lately
This just in: Paintballing outlawed. Simulates homicide.
Red cross is bullshit anyways, it's a terrible charity organization that takes 70% of all donations.
