Does "Muslim Massacre" game show a need for Internet regulation?

I will not debate the content of your signatures as this is not a political forum, but they do seem awfully large and are enough for me to block photobucket.

Not to mention sexist... ;)

250px ? 170px falls within the guideline of 550 x 170 and 50K. My sig meets those requirements./

It should be shutdown ASAP. It is racist and disgusting.

Absolutely!

They're never going to do that again.

I couldn't find proper screens but here you go

Hidden and Dangerous 2 is a nother game that comes to mind.

I'm sure there are plenty of Counter Strike maps.

As I said before, it's all about respect. I have the freedom to say what I want, that's great, but it doesn't give me the right to hurt others.

I think the size includes any extra text outside of the picture(s) as well, and thus you break the rules. not fully sure though.

Even that will not exceed 550x170. My entire sig is not larger than the image example shown below:

It is if you include text, your picture sig is 170 pixels but with the text included its an extra 15+ pixels.

We seem to be grasping at straws here people but you have to admit the image itself is 170 so with the text underneath it obviously does go over.

There is no law requiring anyone to respect anyone, disrespect and ill will are not illegal. Hate isn't illegal and hate does not always/necessarily equal "hurt". As someone else posted, you can't pick and chose what qualifies as free speech...

Looks like the site has been taken down, which is too bad because I would've liked to try it.

There is too much political corectness in the world today, and the internet is still full of censorship.

How about this: http://www.middle-east-online.com/english/default.pl?id=317

It was written about 6 years ago. I don't see anyone getting uppity about that. Except for maybe 15 million or whatever Israelis.

[WastedJoker]

Most games (both retail and online) involving violence has an enemy such as Russia, China, Middle East, Japan, England or America.

I suggest people who find those games offensive add the website addresses to their HOSTs file and move on to something more to their tastes.

Leave the internet for those adult enough to police themselves.

Why do these middle eastern games always look like crap?

[DrCheese]

but when a Church was used in that other video game, Sony were forced to stop it.

No, they wasn't. The church could have possibly slapped them about abit for using the image and/or layout of the Manchester church without their permission, but if Sony had used a generic church/cathedral in it's game then they could have done absolutely zilch.

We don't live in a fair world but I'm very glad to see that there are a lot of neowinians who have shown that they understand that wrong is wrong.

No, wrong is what you define as wrong. Again, you can't just take away someone's right to free speech simply because you believe they are wrong.

I think all religion is a waste of time and everyone who believes in it is wrong, but I don't think they should have the right to believe and practise in it simply because I think it's wrong.

As I said before, it's all about respect. I have the freedom to say what I want, that's great, but it doesn't give me the right to hurt others.

Unless you live in a country where hate speech again certain groups is restricted, then yes it does.

I suppose sometimes development takes a back seat to jihad.

Because the evil Western empire has stolen their textures :(

No, my image is not 550x170. It is 250px ? 170px >

There are larger sigs in this forum than mine. But if it bothers you people so much, I will remove it.

[WastedJoker]

Less crying about sigs, more crying bout the evil bad naughty internets :angry:

[Sethos]

Yes, the IMAGE is 170x in hight, but you ALSO have text which adds to the hight, meaning it's higher than 170x.

Just because it's only 250x long, the hight rule still goes.

Haha:rofl::

It's gone now so you can get back to the topic and leave my sig alone.

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Sadly a lot of people have used the term 'freedom' to mean that we have the right to disrespect each other, but why?

It's all about respect at the end of the day.

...

And if you want to respect somebody you can. Of course you have the right not to respect people, of course you have to right to say as much.

You can't act as a morality police, telling people what they can and can't think.

[mad_onion]

well the internet is regulated to the extent of the law that applies in the territory that the servers and the business or person is based.

so if this were set up in the US it would allowed because taking it down would violate the persons free speech.

The maturity level on this thread has dropped to the point were you are discussing about a signature. :huh:

I see it as this: You cant ask fro freedom of speech if you are not willing to give it to those you dont agree with, doest matter how much you dislike it.

In the end of the day I still dont understand people that get offended by this get angry. If I dont like something I simply avoid it, I have better things to do, but I guess thats a hard concept to swallow.

Yes it has, I did not bring it up.

But you did continue ;) Just like me and because of that this will be my last comment about that.
