But a video game not being able to be played, qualified as the "worst Christmas ever"? Really?

I think there is a need for a just little perspective here.

QFT.

Oh please, no overdose of vitriolic moraline here.

And as I already said to Red: this is about little children not knowing it any better, and ticking by a little children's mind's tact, not an adult's. What should they care about what adults have messed up in the world beyond their view.

The issue is not that some kids can not play their video games this Christmas..
the issue is: That in spite of kids (and adults) who did not get anything to eat on Christmas, and people sleeping in the streets or worse, and people dying all over the world and people losing loved ones, in spite of all of this misery and depressing scheiss.... some a**wads took the time to deliberately bugger up someone else's Christmas!
I'm absolutely positive that the kids will get over this.. but what about the wads that did the damage in the first place?.. doesn't this say something really dark and depressing about them?.. I don't want to share the planet with beings like that.

Perhaps we should blame their parents for raising such brats.

Why do you force me to agree and disagree with you in a same thread

Oh please spare me the let's not wreck our special creations bull crap! The sooner they learn life without setbacks is a special view the better. Really! Why do kids need counseling every time something awful happens now? Is it maybe because they are overprotected and can't deal with any adversity? Too freaking bad and learn something of actual value for once. I'm sorry if this is a cruel viewpoint, but life in general is cruel for the vast majority and the sooner one learns that the better. Harumph!

Maybe this would teach those kids the superior experience of PC gaming.

Would be beneficial both to those kids and to the video game industry.

But I'm was talking about those that are happy to even get something this year and they were denied the fun of finally having the same level of luxury than their spoiled peers. Maybe father got a bonus or a mother a second job etc. You know what I mean. You're not stupid, just stubborn

They deserve an honest answer no matter the age.
But there are less brutal ways to prepare them for life. Not nightmare inducing ways. And so what if our children are having it easy when they're really young. It's called progress. I have no intent of giving my kids the ''old country'' treatment my grandparents always talked about. But I will teach them how to adapt if we're forced back to that way of life, wither war or disaster.

Tribes, I am not going to go nitpicking every word and all the 167 different meanings one can pull out one thing I wrote. Like I already said, you know what I mean, but you're too stubborn to say it

I'd sooner walk to Ireland and throw a snowball at you.

Just answer me this, was the action of the lizzard squad illegal ??
