    Quote from nico

    Oh, and st0lve - The fallout games are pure genius, and in case you do not allready know; Beteshda (or however you spell it ) are going to make the next game in the series! =)

    Thats in no way a "=)" compared to the "=D" that would have been on my face if Interplay or even Troika (their tech demo was awesome, and they had some of the original Fallout staff) was doing it.

    Yeah, and what I see is mostly insulting of jews and israel, which is NOT a western country. I find none of them insulting in any way, but I understand how maybe some Americans might be.

    But they aren't really a factor here, cause none of you knew about them, nor cared about them until 'wolf posted them.

    Are you insulted by them RD? In which way?

    I could count millions of things in the world that are worse then drawing a prophet from a different religion from a objective point of view

    I take that you haven't seen the drawings?How objective is Muhammad with a bomb on his head?

    Freedom of speech has its limits when it concerns others...How would it feel if Jesus Christ was the one insulted instead?

    RD, its not ok, but you know how they are. They don't have the same culture as us, but since we are so god damn "perfect" we should be able to raise above them and press our big "IGNORE" button.

    I kinda have feeling that next-gen doesn't appeal to me. Ok they might be fun to play with friends on internets or lan, but hell even Worms is fun to play with friends. I enjoy most games, atleast the games that contain the words "Apocalypse" or similar, but I know that I'll never have enough money to both buy the game, and buy a monster rig that can run the game on acceptable fps and loading times. This counts for all next-gen games.

    And by the way, I enjoyed Fallout2 alot more than I enjoyed HL2 or any other new pc game, and I'll still not tierd of it.

    But I can say, the engine, screens and such look nice, too nice for a common poor kid.

    Just because your in theory allowed to say, draw, paint etc. anything you want, doesn't mean its ok for others. I wouldn't do shit if I think its ok, but I know that so many people will be pissed off, cause its a word called "respect".

    We broke one of the Islams most important rules by publishing those pictures.

    And we all know how the Muslims and Islamic people react when someone goes up agaist their belives, even I, who haven't been interessted in politics for more than a year knows that burning flags, threats and suchs is a "common" thing in the middle east.

    Those drawings insulted millions of Muslims all over the world, as for now, the Swedes are the only smart people left in Scandinavia, cause they had enough knowlegde in their head NOT to print those pictures just because their allowed to do it.

    I'm ashamed to be Norwegian these days.

    Ok RD this is starting to make my head hurt.

    You sure know how to handle entitys, but you sure as hell don't know what this is about.

    Japan was used as an example, a mighty good example if you ask me, cause Kosmo told you about how their think of honour and how they threat themselves different than we threat ourself in the western part of the world.

    Its nothing about the imigrants in Denmark, NOTHING. Most people here in Norway (Muslims, ME and such. And YES we are involved in the case) doesn't even care about the threats, but they say that they disrespected their holy stuff and such, but they don't put jihad on their ass cause they know the western culture by now.

    Now, the thing about these drawings:

    Some guys (12 artists) made 1 drawing each (I explained in another post), and they got printed some time ago. And when the ME people found out, they got pissed. Cause the drawings dis-respected their holyness and violated their rules about images and pictures (which I also posted in another post).

    Now; What the discussion is about is this: Did the artists\directors do the right thing by making\printing them? Did they really dis-respect the ME people by going it (even if it wasn't their intention) and what are they going to do about it now?

    ROUND 1; FIGHT!

    No seriously, you guys should be adult enough, and good examples for us non industry pros who might want to be that one day. "My dad is stronger than your dad" style discussions won't work.

    Hey I said something serious outside politics.

    It means it happened in Denmark, in a western culture. Freedom of speech IS western culture. Where is their respect for it? If they want to live here they gotta respect it.

    Its not the local Muslims that react so bad and burn flags, its the ones in the middle east. Its not just in Denmark, its in Norway aswell.So RD; Lesson 1:

    The muslims that are pissed do not live in Denmark, they live in their "original" country in the middle east.

    Lesson 2: Its possible that Denmark export wares and such to the middle east, so that they can get cut of the Muslims foodchain (if you know what Im talking about).

    Lesson 3: Western and middle-eastern cultures aren't the same, we accept different things, we hate different things.

    I posted it because Kosmo said christians would go wild over a drawing of Jesus as a warmonger. Well here is an action figure of Jesus as a warmonger. Theres probably a factory making this stuff, unbombed.

    I think you rather have to post a picture of Maria (Jesus' mom, the virgin), in a gangbang with 100s of people, at once.That would maybe (except that the Muslims respect their religion abit more than christians and other western people) give the same impression.

    To be honest the jerks that drew the drawings and the directors that printed them should really have though a few more times about what they were doing;

    Islam got a strick rule that NO IMAGES OF MUHAMMAD is allowed. Not even their mosques have pictures of him, they might have 1 picture in the whole mosque, which would be of the imam (or whatever its called, sorry I don't know). And making a charicatur (like this of their most holy person, is a huge insult.

    And we "oh so good" european western countrys are dumb enough to be all like "OMG WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEACH, LETS DIS-RESPECT THE MUSLIMS AND ISLAMIC PEOPLE!". Let me put it like this, if I was a muslim, islamistic or anything I'd take those 12 drawings as a major insult.

    Everybody is like "what the muslim and so are crazy! hating us for freedom of speach", well we all know what they are like, what their situation is like, and how the react to the smallest things, but anyway some people got to be so fucking dumb and still do stuff like that.

    The thing I think made the muslims even more mad, is that the magazine that printed it in Norway, was a christian magazine, so I don't believe that it made it better for them.

    Whatever they do, WE are the ones that fucked up, its not the muslims and islam that did anything wrong.

    edit: sorry I missed some capital letters on Muslim and Islam and such.
