The dangers of theft in the game ...

#1 Post by krelji » Sat Oct 25, 2008 5:45 am

I found this a few days ago and found it rather hilarious and disturbing. Perhaps
all illegal activities should be stopped in game, since the consequences in real
life might be a bit harsh...

Perhaps plain dumb kids should be prohibited to play in any community :twisted:
Perhaps some form of physical punishment should be re-introduced to parents and teachers in these countries :wink:
Might be a good old slap or two from a father or mother in the right time could keep these things at bay. :twisted:

Here in Finland, not too long ago, a mother was fined for administering some good old fashioned parental care on her child. You simply cannot do anything these days without people crying out in alarm. Thus all the troubles.

Hm, yes, you can go to jail in the US for popping your child on the rear if someone reports you for child abuse.

And then we wonder why all the kids these days are all screwed up.

That is what saves the US from me.. I'd never become a citizen in a country where:
public drinking, child abuse, sexual harrasment is illegal :twisted: but every idiot can have a gun and can shoot me for sleeping on his grass without his permission :twisted:

*Sigh* I unfortunately see too much truth in this. With the far right and their archaic morality teaming with the far left and their treehugging 'social justice' the American citizen is being stripped of more and more freedoms. Gone are the days where one could enjoy a bottle of rum under the stars at the beach, smack your son for throwing a tantrum at the market or flirt at work. Not to worry though Stilgar, they'll be taking our guns away soon too.

Good luck with that. What will they do, come to each household resident and confiscate each firearm? I'd like to see them try that. Especially in the south/midwest. I don't see them successfully being able to enforce it.

see now thats why Canadians are only allowed muzzleloaders and the like. I would find it awesomely funny if someone tried to chase someone else off their lawn with a muzzleloader.

regardless, it needs to be done.

Can't you just hug eachother instead? If you really need pistols, I can give you all a water pistol. It's even good for the lawn.

Funny thing.. you're not allowed to drink until 21, but can drive when you reach 15 and I bet you don't have t be 21 to own a gun. :wink:

In our country.. we think if you're not old enough to drink, you aren't old enough to drive a car or have a gun..
