U.K. Politician Using Oslo Shooting to Change Ratings

[Robert Ewing]

Way to cement your political career right there Keith. Smart one. Freaking dumbass.

 

[Chairman Miaow]

Can we start a petition? The "get the queen to make an official statement telling Keith Vaz to go fuck himself." petition.

 

[Akimoto]

"Breivik describes how he trained for the attacks using the video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare," Vaz continues before stating he "is disturbed that Breivik used the game to help hone his `target acquisition' and the suggestion that the simulation prepared him for the attacks."

I may be speculating here, but this man might not have ever used a gun before. I call it the point-and-shoot fallacy.

How hard can it be to not spend money on nuclear weapons we won't use, put it into the NHS whilst paying doctors and nurses whilst getting rid of the fucking middle managers and...
No, that's common sense. Curses.

I'm clearly not cut out for politicks.

Residual Cold War paranoia + ex-empire syndrome is fun!

Seriously though, it's sad that people like this get given power, I want to meet the people who vote for anyone who'd be willing to change the law on something that they have absolutely no knowledge of.

 

[Chairman Miaow]

I've never been a fan of Labour, but I tend to follow Tom Watson on Twitter because he's a gamer and often goes out of his way to show up Vaz's idiocy on a topic Keith knows less than fuck all about.

I really don't want to vote Labour. Hell, I don't want to vote for any of the cocknuggets we've got malingering around...

Someone give me money so I can go into politics.

Vote for a smaller party then! The only way we can fix the mess we are in at the moment is by getting in some new blood and getting rid of the dinosaurs! As long as they aren't BNP or UKIP or anything. I was so amazed when it started to seem like the Tories were getting power. The fact that they were supported by the Sun always confused the shit out of me. A newspaper (if you can call it that) for the downtrodden masses calling it's voters to support that silver spoon ****-bag Cameron?

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

Can we get some these politicians to play call of duty, and then take them to a shooting range to see if they have learned any real life firearm skills from playing the game? Because that is the only way I can imagine them stopping this kind of stuff short of just waiting for them to die or scandle to force them to resign.

The problem with that is that everybody needs to do it for it to work. And no fucker does.

Hell, the last election, everyone was all like "Hell yeah I'm voting Lib Dem!" and did they? Did they fuck.
Labour ended up with the most votes, so we got a Tory/LibDem government. The fuck?

... also while we're on the subject, I'm honestly surprised that nobody seems to use the witticism ConDemNation.

I voted Green. I know other people I nagged into voting Green. Unfortunately my constituency still had a higher vote for the BNP.... BUT THE POINT! I will get to it eventually. The point is that if everyone just says nobody votes for them.... Nobody will vote for them. Every vote counts. And I think Liberal Democrats ConDemned (see what I did there?) their political career by joining with Conservatives. I wouldn't be surprised if they lost almost all their seats.

Anyone that has both played first person shooters and actually fired a gun knows the similarities are almost non-existent. The only thing you're going to get from a FPS is that you have to point the gun at your target. Wow. That's a tough concept.

 

[userwhoquitthesite]

*rolls on the floor laughing*

Ah poor Keith, he just won't give up will he?

Get his picture with a hooker, that'll shut him up

 

[Gottesstrafe]

Modern Warfare is as close to actual war as say Minecraft is to working in construction.

I'd be careful about what comparisons you make.

 

[Davroth]

You know what's the best way to interest underage boys in videogame? Slap lots of warnings on it, and make a big deal out of it. Preferably have some tv show make a segment about it, showing censored screenshots showing how horrible it it.

Honestly, I start to think this is a huge scam paid by the entertainment industry.

 

[Yeager942]

Oh for fuck's sake. When did my country decide to regress to the fucking Dark Ages?

... oh right, that election thing.

Forgive this ignorant Yank, but are the conservatives in power currently?

Wow, that video was horrible. I want my time back.

 

[Macgyvercas]

I find it disturbing that people actually believe you can get better at shooting guns by playing a shooting game. To quote Yahtzee:

"Pressing buttons to shoot guns in say, Soldier of Fortune, is about as far removed from the workings of actual guns as my ass is from the dark side of Europa".

 

[AstylahAthrys]

I have a wonderful idea. Let's classify games by age and put them on the front of games so consumers can see. If games are too violent, rate them 18+ and not let kids buy them. It's a brilliant plan!

Wait, we already do that.

 

[Astoria]

Why do people only ever pay attention to the minority these days? How many copies of CoD have been sold? Millions? And because a few people got out and shoot someone it means it was because they played CoD. It couldn't possibly be because they have some sort of mental issues can it?
