Well, I'm a member of the Taliban, and I never claim about the thousands of shooters where my brethren are repeatedly shot, stabbed, blown-up and tea-bagged.

Next, it'll be the Mormons because a game portrays Salt Lake City with twice as many women as men.kebab4you said:
OT: Even if the game HAD been portraying police (which apparently it isn't), if you are a criminal and certainly the dark protagonist of this game, they MUST be the enemy, because you are a vigilante and they are justice.
Wait what does the Swiss Jewish Police Association say about this? What about the Atheist? What about the Buddhist? What about the rest of the Swiss police, who apparently are out there fighting actual crime instead of trying to find easy scapegoats to complex issues?
Yeah, like a few people before me, the moment I read "Christian" I just assumed it was going to be another baseless tirade against videogames. Whatever.
To be fair, not all Californians are liberals. As a matter of fact, many parts of Northern California have more in common with parts of the American South than they do with the larger cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles.Savber said:
On topic: Not surprised. Any time a game might possibly contain something that someone somewhere might conceivably see as even the tiniest bit offensive, a group of their "advocates" steps up and yells into a megaphone about how it's a travesty.
Well, I'm not sure if the "reveal" resolved anything, and might have actually done damage. See, this group probably had reason to believe police officers were in the game as potential opponents. The game developers saying there aren't any cops makes me think they might have wound up backpedaling. If they did, and I suspect they might have, that's a bad thing because it encourages other groups to pressure game developers knowing that they are likely to cave.
As far as it being a Christian police association, I see no real problem with that, in this case I can see where their concerns are coming from whether I agree with them or not, and it hardly seems to have anything to do with the religious portion of their banner.

This shouldn't even be an issue.
There should be no problem with people disliking police or virtually harming avatars of them. This is an incredibly basic example of free speech (not as in "they can't do that!" because I have no idea about rights in Switzerland, but as in "there is a reason countries often grant protections like that").

I lol'd. I just with the devs didn't have to be all nice and PC and instead have said it with a bit of "neener neener", if you follow, to point out their oversensitivity.

Couldn't care less. No could. And while we're at it, not give, either. And now you know.Dr. wonderful said:
you could at least say that conservative Christians are at fault :/ Not all Christians are evil. I am lead to believe the Swiss are INCREDIBLY conservative, due to their policies on race, but I imagine a conservative police group is even more so.Blind77 said:

Tried, but still can't see it. Sad I know, but this is just making me more fidgety.lacktheknack said:http://sfgospel.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341ce22f53ef011168c500d4970c-800wiantipunt said:What is in this picture that I am not seeing. I must know!FinalHeart95 said:

It's not grammar though. "Couldn't" care less means you are at the lowest possible level of caring - you can't care any less than you do because you don't care at all. Could care less means you care at least a little bit, since you have room to care less, and... what sense does that make? Any percentage from 1% to 100% caring could be given, and you'd still be able to truthfully claim that you "can" care less.Dr. wonderful said:
...it ain't hip at all it's just pure logic. "Could care less" just doesn't make any sense.
I think there needs to be some ruling that when you are responding to a thread about some group of nutbags doing some entirely nutbaggy thing, you should refer to them as 'that group of Christian nutbags' or even better, a 'bunch of fucking nutbags making Christians look bad', making sure you're at least accepting they are nutbags and not just some of the wider group of regular, not insane moderate Christians.
Same goes for Muslims, gays, COD players, Wii owners, and Prius drivers.
After all, wouldn't that make the news easier to handle? 'In Kansas today, a religious nutbag made Muslims look bad by having a beard and blowing himself up in a car, fortunately only his own life was wasted by his own dumbass action, however he has caused mild traffic delays, so I'd avoid Downtown Topeka for the next few hours. Now here's Jim with the weather!'
By all means carry on lumping all Mail readers in the same loony group however, as I've found regular exposure does seem to lead to early onset dementia, and I've never met a Mail reader who isn't wrong in the brain.
