*sigh* poor venezuelans. I see where they're coming from, though. It's obvious how a repetitive series of 1's and 0's can incite murder...
Hey! It's high in protein and I was just a teenager. It was an all night gaming session and he tried to get my D&D character killed. TOTALLY JUSTIFIED!!! >_>ThePeiceOfEden said:Im still waiting for someone to ty to tear the meat off someones neckDeathWyrmNexus said:Fair enough but dude... I pulled that quote from your own source, that is why I questioned your head to floor win ratio. I figured you had checked it out. No harm, no foul as shit happens.ThePeiceOfEden said:

Not really, Venezuela has always had a history of violence in its lower sectors (where poor people live). But yeah, most politicians up to this point had tried to reduce crime in some way or another, Chavez hasn't and has even given out weapons to socialist groups that support him, thus making violence kinda "government approved". He has also, during the years, been known to give money and weaponry to Colombian guerrilla, that was found out during a raid to one of the most powerful guerrilla leaders last year, his laptop had all the info.Macksheath said:
He's tried to promote good free education and tried to help poor people living in the cities try to go back to agricultural production and stuff like that by giving out land...scifidownbeat said:
Neither has worked and both had political agendas behind them.
Not to mention that only about 20 porcent of murders get the murderers identified and only 7% of them sent people to jail, Venezuelan jails where they actually learn how to be more violent and learn more people to do crime with (extremely violent site, do not enter, but it has several videos of what happens in Venezuelan jails www.quelacreo.com).Hookman said:
So not only is crime and violent rampant, but the perpetrators NEVER get caught and even if they get caught its not like they'll be likely to do the time... AND even if they do, it won't be significant nor discourage them from doing it anymore.
In Venezuela the only crime that actually seems to be punished hardly is rape, which often has perpetrators getting caught by random people in the community and rapers end up dying in horribly violent ways, either in the streets or in jail.
(oh yeah, random fact about my glorious country, a Venezuelan minister read an email, it said that Coke Zero was a product banned in the states and therefore Coca-cola had sent it to third world countries where it would be likely to get sold without problems, without actually researching wether it was a fact or just random email fake-y-ness he set stuff in motion and coke zero was banned in Venezuela, while its a perfectly legal drink anywhere else in the world. Hurray Venezuela, may our politicians be ever as corrupt and uneducated as they have always been, and may they continue to ban irrelevant shit while crime kills our entire population.)
The fuck?VZLANemesis said:
All I said was that I didn't know there were that many gamers in Venezuela, since when was it my job to keep tabs on every single nations gaming population? There's no need to go around calling people asses, except H_C, he's an ass hole. But me?
Oh Australia you silly people...........WHAT NOT AUSTRAILIA DOING IT? Madness. I think this will increase crime in some way or it won't change at all.
But... but that wouldn't restrict people's liberties! So what would be the point?ArcWinter said:

It already is, each game in Venezuela can cost up to 300$ae86gamer said:
RockBand with the full set, 1500$
Which is more surprising? That, if this lawsuit had any merit, it would mean:Fat Man Spoon said:
A) Venezuela believes we'd send in men armed with grappling hook guns to hijack helicopters
or
B) Venezuela actually has giant pallets of money, missiles, and oil tanks lying around for anybody with a helicopter and a winch to just grab
