I had to check the calendar to see if it was April 1...

 

"With 62 billion kills in Call of Duty: Black Ops alone, a committee of the Red Cross is debating whether the International Humanitarian Law is applicable to online gamers, and if they are violating it. From the committee's site: 'While the Movement works vigorously to promote international humanitarian law worldwide, there is also an audience of approximately 600 million gamers who may be virtually violating International Humanitarian Law. Exactly how video games influence individuals is a hotly debated topic, but for the first time, Movement partners discussed our role and responsibility to take action against violations of this law in video games.' While it's questionable if gamers themselves can be prosecuted for not obeying the Geneva convention, the Red Cross committee's actions seem to be aimed more at game developers — as first person shooters become more realistic, do game developers have an obligation to include humanitarian elements?"

 

Dear Red Cross: Please stick with what you do well i.e. humanitarian and disaster relief. Keep yer mitts of my mouse and game-pad.

Gamers have more laws and regulations coming, they try to say it's an addiction with these dumb studies, they try to say it has an influence and a reflection on society instead of understanding that it's a reflection OF society.  They blame murders and suicides on games instead of the individual. And now this.  People with too much education and too few brain cells to apply it.  To bad we can't throw people in prison for wasting our money.

Looks like this was a side-note at a conference, some dumb-fuck with too much time on their hands running off at the mouth, and a newspapoer looking to stir the pot a bit. Still, it's troubling to even hear this nonsense being taken seriously by someone in a  charitable organization. Even an over-educated leftie liberal like me finds this sort of crap puke-worthy. Sounds like something the EU bureaucrats might come up with!

It doesn't always pay to believe what one reads in the Press, especially the British tabloid press and especially the Daily Mail!

 

If you are interested in the truth of the matter, have a look at the ICRC's article on the topic:

http://www.icrc.org/eng/resources/documents/faq/ihl-video-games-faq-2011-12-08.htm

 

So, calm down and load another clip FFS! Smile
