>The cultural parliamentary committee submitted on Saturday a draft law that seeks to ban electronic games, in particular PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) and the Blue Whale that was reported to be an online “suicide game”. The game allegedly inspired an Iraqi teenager, 17, to commit suicide in January, Iraq's Independent Human Rights Commission said in a statement.
>“The committee is concerned about the obsession over these electronic games that ignite violence among children and youth. Its influence has spread rapidly among Iraq’s society,” the head of the committee, Sameaa Gullab, said during a press conference in Baghdad.
In 2016, Philipp Budeikin, a 21-year-old former psychology student who was expelled from his university, claimed that he invented the game in 2013. He said his intention was to cleanse society by pushing persons to suicide whom he deemed as having no value.[19][20] Although originally claiming innocence and stating he was "just having fun", Budeikin was arrested and held in Kresty Prison, Saint Petersburg, and in May 2016 pled guilty to "inciting at least 16 teenage girls to commit suicide"
In June 2018, Russian financial analyst Nikita Nearonov was arrested for allegedly masterminding the Blue Whale game. Nearonov is suspected of grooming 10 "underage" girls in order to bring them to suicide, 2 of which, aged 14 and 17, are known to have survived. As a financial analyst, Nearonov has been described as a "very smart" computer expert who held a large amount of contempt for teenagers, believing that they were "wicked" and "deserved to die". Police reports claim that Nearonov's involvement in the Blue Whale game was his "hobby".[

This happens in every country. I remember in training we were told to never use definite language about certain things as we could be discredited by experts if we ever had to testify. Case and point one thing we were told was to never say beer, alcohol, or drunk. Instead we we're told to say things like "what appears to be alcohol", "a liquid substance that smelled alcoholic", and "appears to be intoxicated" because one of the most common ways of getting intoxicated was through house hold cleaners and mouthwash due to their availability, cost, and lack of regulation.

Well, yes and no, fact is, most money goes to places like Moscow and vanishes there like water down a drain. That's why pretty much everything that isn't a major city is a shithole. If you live in one of the cities, you can have a high life style. But Russians have some major issues, even in the mentioned shitholes its hard to find a Russian who hasn't the newest phone, a new car or other useless crap people buy to feel good. If you see a Russian with label clothes and an Iphone, chances are he lives in a concrete flat with 1 room. Does that make him poor? Mentally maybe.
Adrian Nguyen
>The committee is concerned about the obsession over these electronic games that ignite violence among children and youth but public stonings and beheadings are perfectly fine
But to be fair, its hard to get a good home outside the big cities, so Russians fill that lack of quality life with useless crap. In Europe its kinda the other way around, its relatively easy to have a decent quality of life, so people care less about showing off phones and shit.

I bet you're the same type of fucker who thinks meth and heroin should be legal. >Unless you have no fucking life outside of video games Have you been paying attention to the state of the world lately? Most people from our generation are using video games as ESCAPISM. Dating and marriage is at an all time low, men joining the military is at an all time low, everything that's made men what they are is slowly dying off and being replaced by faggotry. Instead of wanting to be carpenters and soldiers, are youth wants to be lets players and streamers.
No, video games are absolutely a fucking blight on our society. So is the internet.
Have you seen the news latest? The West isn't too keen on the internet or vidya. Most of the people that are against weren't from the generation that use them.

Being someone who is center left, I don’t understand why so many far left sjws want Islam in the west. Do they not care about their gay friends because Islam doesn’t like gays. I wish some common sense would come to the majority of the left, it’s embarassing. Islam is incompatible with western values.

Yes, user. That's exactly what I said, you fucking idiot.
There are plenty of passtimes and hobbies that actually get you involved with productive things. Why don't you learn to fish? Why don't you go outside and hunt? Why do you NEED to play video games? They're an extremely passive hobby, and by extension they're making our society passive. I mean, we have to try. We can't just sit here and watch as our rights are slowly stripped away by the government. We can't just sit here and let our kids become brainwashed by video game propaganda.
That could be. I’m of the left that just wants people to help each other and take care of one another, not the pink haired people that blame whites for everything.
I mean it doesn’t really matter who is in the government, they just want your money.

So cinema and everything on TV are also worthless. Listen to yourself. People like different things and indulge in different hobby. Maybe not everyone want to be a conformist robot like you.
I'd argue that cinema and TV aren't AS sinister, because there are actual thought-provoking shows and movies. The same can't be said for video games. They're almost all universally passive.

No, actually, if you look at the statistics it's very clear that most courts are generally unbiased. Guess you'll have to be a victim somewhere else, user. Well congratulations, you just degenerated society into a group of shit-eating morons. Humans need laws to keep them in check, and video games NEED to be stopped before they turn our youth into literal fucking idiots.
Take a look at someone like Chris Chan. Why is he allowed to exist in our society? Why hasn't anyone stopped him? We're literally letting a crazy many run around, castrate himself, and harass other people because "WE DON'T WANT TO BE JUDGEMENTAL, Yea ForumsROS!1!1!"

>>Damn, what went wrong with Iraqi society? Historically weak central governments punctuated by corrupt lords, problem compounded by ages of foreign warfare and intervention, which caused society to develop a higher emphasis on family, the family's place in a community, and revenge.
Saddam acted sort of like a modern day king in that his actions in monopolizing the use of force and carrying out brutal tactics to shutdown any and all threats to his power (even religious authority) echoing historical periods of any currently successful state. He laid the political and social ground work for a modern state with a strong central authority, and had he continued to lead Iraq eventually the evolution political landscape would have followed the history of western nations. Its important to the remember that Saddam tried to ally himself with the West and was at one point considered an important force for stability, even by America, due to his eagerness to please the West and stance against Iran and religious authority that challenged his own. The only reason it fell apart was because of a miscommunication about Kuwait.
My best friend growing up was Iranian. His dad is super conservative and super serious. He always looked mad and he would get pissed when his son was playing video games during the day.

The middle east has always been a shithole. Bombed out cityscapes or not. They've been bloodthirsty backwater dune dwellers since the beginning. You can invade and bomb them to hell and back and nothing will ever really change except for pissing them off even more. But autists with no understanding of US middle east relations and no idea of how we got to this point will never understand. The biggest mistake the US ever made was to get involved as a mediator in the middle east. This has been going on since the end of WWII. Giving the jewish post holocaust diaspora a slice of territory made muslims reee out of existence. Muslims were FUCKING pissed but they directed this asshurt at the jews not the rest of the world. Throughout the 60s 70s and 80s the Israelis killed a shitload of muslims and the muslims blew up a shitload of Israelis. The worst thing the US could've done is get involved on the Israeli side in a time when the entirety of the arab world hated and distrusted the Israeli's guts. Que Iranian revolution and Syrians both enforcing suicide tactics against Israel after Israel had been on a streak of bombing and shooting muslim kids and civilians. Then Beirut bombing happens and lockerbie, the most high profile bombings yet at this time. It was around here that the US really started to make its stance known with an Israeli bias. Big mistake because Israelis had become just as bad as muslims and muslims up until this point didn't see us as much of a problem mostly a nuisance for taking the Israeli's side and wanted us to get the message that the did not fucking like our siding with Jews. Here is the conflict of interest. Literally the reason for getting bombed and 9/11ed. Muslims had no problem with the US unless it involved furthering Israeli interests in the region. Arabs+Jews= bad news. Should've NEVER taken any side. But interventionist neocon hawks and their hard on for Israel and a big misunderstanding of arab jewish relations fucked everybody over.

Cripple one person, wait for someone to appear to carry them away, shoot them, rinse and repeat. Got very popular in the balkans and as long as it's not a first responder it's not a war crime.

I just find it hilarious that these fucking mudslimes are invading everyone trying to stir shit, raping people, changing laws and then you have both the right and left wingers trying to find why they are okay and even claim they are good
A lot went wrong. The first major mistake was the US not being able to pick firm positions and targets as well as betray Turkey. When Russia showed up helping Assad. The US dragged their feet on eliminating Daesh pockets. Then, due to Turkey seeing the US as a threat starting actively fucking with US in an attempt to make thing worse. They succeeded and now the US fully eliminated the Daesh pocket. Only for the Kurds to repress the Arab majority and be extremely corrupt at all levels of the government thus preventing any sort of progress towards stability. TL;DR, the US had no long term plans.
