Won't help Trixie darling, some nutter will kill someone else for looking at them funny. But thank you for putting forward the words to this great and powerful sarcastic joke. It made me smilelunncal said:
Oslo Murders Lead to Calls For Game Bans in Australia
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Surely right-wing politics has a higher record of turning out extremists? We should ban conservatives (and same for lefties of course)
Lets ban books, tv, movies, talking to other people, looking at other people, certainly ban each and every major organized religion simply due to the fact that by far and away religions and their leaders have been raping pillaging and murdering in the name of their god or gods ever since someone decided their god was right and everyone else can just piss off.
I will put up the amount of blood spilled in the name of jesus christ and allah against a few wackos with firearms or whatever murdering innocent people because they read the catcher in the rye, or watched rambo, or read the bible, or played modern warfare.
People that claim to be religious should spend more time examining their lives than worrying about telling others how to live theirs.

No Australia.... for gods sake - everyone already thinks your governments are ludicrous backwards morons.... we don't need you to try and ban ALL violent video games to prove that.
-sighs- Well, after the recent events I'm hardly surprised they'd latch onto it....
Point is though - this guy clearly had something wrong with him. Video games didn't cause it or 'push him over the edge'. In my honest opinion? I believe this is a 4chan troll - or at least someone from the internet - who's gone insane and decided he'd try and get every video-game banned by claiming bollocks to wreck all our lives.
I truly think this brings the word 'trolling' to a WHOLE new level! Someone needs to make me a de-motivational poster of this! Preferably something along the lines of the nutter who killed them all with a troll-face printed over his head. Then the quote of him claiming MW2 was his training in a separate picture - then of course the full original article of Australia's attempts to ban video games in a next picture. With a final quotation underneath claiming something obvious about the entire situation while somehow amusing - probably something good and simple like 'You Mad?' would do.

Agreed... I thought the politicians were doing great... right up until the point where they decided to claim that the reason he shot a bunch of people was because he knew how to shoot and went shooting (animals, admittedly) regularly. In my opinion, that's not much better than saying that he claimed he trained on MW2 and therefore that game should be banned.Baresark said:
Finally someone who gets that video games aren't the cause of someone doing something horrible! Give the politicians who saw past the media hype some cookies and keep them in office a bit longer, because the world needs more people who don't add momentum to any ban hammers at the first target of blame.
Oh stop bringing logic into the topic.zehydra said:
I want to see all the stupid irrational arguments people are going to make about equating All Modern Christianity to Mass-Murder Indoctrination.
Seriously though it's sad that I can make fun of the fact that there are people who will take any tangency or association with two unrelated topics and then create bullshit conclusions.
***slaps***Spherex said:
NO MORE LOGIC!!!!! WE NEED MORE FEARMONGERING!!!
(and yes, those are both meant as attempts at humor)
OT: Based on what the Oslo Murderer has said and done, his intention seems to have been mass-trolling by playing on the fears and controversies found in the public at large today.
So far, he's been associated with:
-Violent Video Games
-Environmentalism
-"Christian Crusading"
It seems entirely too convenient that his "manifesto" happens to hit upon several specific topics where easy controversy lies (beyond his desire for murder). This indicates that while he may be a lunatic murderer, he did have an ordered agenda; an agenda that was aimed less at preaching/protesting any extremist message and more about inducing knee-jerked responses to those areas (gaming, religion, environmentalism) at large.
Hence, I think he's the world's most evil real-life troll.
neither was Christianity. he was politically motivated. so how about banning politics?D0WNT0WN said:
actually...thats a good idea...
For fuck's sake...
Is it really that hard to tell from the article that Jim Wallace is not, in any way, shape or form, a public official?. He's just a loudmouth handwringer that heads up a small (but very well funded) group of other handwringers. Nothing he says is indicative of government policy.

I know you are joking, but I like the premiseD0WNT0WN said:
.I think it would be better to just try and educate people and hope that other stuff vanishes on its own rather than try to force it out however.
People are knee jerky about fantasy.
I love the Internet. It's where I can find out that everything I hold dear (Christianity, Video Games, Politics, My Country) has a sizable force raised against it by either teenage pricks who think church is boring, and are therefore loud and obnoxious anti-theists (despite the fact that Christianity and Islam are the only two religions I've ever seen bitching about); or misguided extremist political figures giving the whole political system a bad name.
What stupidity, as if this would actually prevent a single occurrence of violence. Apparently they've forgotten what a bloody past the world has...
The biggest piece of bullshit about the whole Oslo attack is that this guy is magically now an "extremist" instead of a "terrorist". That's a crock of shit if you ask me.

I kid I kid but on to my contribution to this thread.
This Christian man is right! [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SarcasmMode] We should ban all video games! In fact we should ban all media of any kind that isn't the bible! That way our children can read wholesome stories like this one. [http://www.biblestudytools.com/rsva/genesis/passage.aspx?q=genesis+19:28-38] Its good wholesome things like that which shall prevent our society from degrading into a heathenistic dysfunctional abomination! That will teach those filthy politicians to throw stones while in a glass hou- Wait a minute...
Maybe we should respect the dead and throw the asshat in prison to never see the light of day again for killing 80 people instead of trying to find a scapegoat. Biochemistry fucks up sometimes. Deal with it guy.
Why don't these people ban The Bible or The Qaran while they are at it, because im pretty sure those two pieces of literature have been more responsible than MW2 or WOW for deaths around the world.
You can't be a hypocrit and say oh thats different because it's a religous book. People, I mean morons, take things out of context and act stupidly sometimes.
John Lenon--- Catcher in the Rye----Ban all books, burn them all.
Jesus I hate when people look for a ready made excuse that appeases the many and annoys the few.

Inorite? The Christian part seems more telling than the video games but making such commentary is crazy. Obviously, the box of evil playing the disc of evil caused the evil. Not the highhanded beliefs of a nutjob...Absolutionis said:
*sigh* Before some jackass jumps on this with their magical inability to tell hyperbole from truth, no, I am not saying we should ban Christians. I am saying that, considering Christianity's track record with murder and war justification, perhaps those with mud in their eyes shouldn't be attacking the cleanliness of media. The whole glass houses axiom, except in this case, the stone throwing doesn't make any sense.
You know, I just got finished reading a thread of people offering condolences to someone who lost their father to that psychopath. And I come here and see people trying to make political gains off the blood of innocents. I wonder if they'll tack on an anti-gay message as well, since the manifesto also contains suggestions for using coming out of the closet as a cover for suspicious behavior?Andy Chalk said:
Spend your time reading the Bible you thump, you hypocrites. You might learn something about the Christ you pretend to speak for.
