[Praxius]

Quote by: shawmutt Day of Defeat rules! come over to my group's server, the 907th. We're mostly packed in the evenings unless there's a private match going on: 208.101.39.64:27015

Server sounds familiar.... I'm more of a drifter myself, going to whichever server has players.

BTW: I don't have Source.... just the classic DoD mod on HL.

Have you tried insurgency yet? INSURGENCY: Modern Infantry Combat We have a server for that too: 208.101.39.68:27015

Nope, haven't tried it.

See ya there, in game name is Shawmutt too.

Name is usually either Praxius, or Cpt-Praxius. I'm not in any clans, as I have more fun putting the boots to clans.

And a BF2 server, I don't play that though, I don't think it's that active: 64.34.175.203:16567 sorry--and now back to your regularly scheduled debate--

Actually BF2 has a lot of servers and a lot of players...... however the gameplay isn't as realistic as I'd like it to be.... three shots to kill someone with a sniper rifle? Come on.....

Realize that once upon a time a 7 year old didn't know those things.

Maybe in 1812.

Regardless, the implications in the game require a maturity and understanding that 7 year olds don't possess.

Keep treating them with that attitude and they never will.

You were fully aware of all sex and drug references in 2nd grade?

Besides the detail of sticking your wang in the chung (Which I had a basic belief how that worked without comfirmation) yes. How sheltered was your life in comparison? I knew that a baby came from the mother, I knew a male and a female required to get together in an intimate situation to have the ability of creating a child. I knew it had something to do with the genitals.....

I remember seeing pregnant women when I was 4-5.... what do you tell your kids about pregnant women? That they're just fat and babies come from storks? How Silly.

And violence? I grew up around primarily WWII weapons, equipment, books, movies, etc... from a father who was also in the military..... if I could understand what a World War was at the age of 5 or 6, perhaps even younger..... I'm sure I can comprehend someone getting beat up.

In the enviroment I grew up in, I required true education as to what it all was about, or else I would begin to interp what was all around the house and who know's where that would have led me.

As I recall the worse swear we used regularly was hell or some other version of it, and that was only the troublemakers.

Wow... lol.... my cousin reminded me just recently the first time he got into trouble for swearing, which he picked up from myself and my brother.... the earliest recolection I have of soap in my mouth was at the age of 4.... for the F word I believe..... and it was that horrible brown/transparent perfume smelling soap too.

We've been swearing for as long as I can remember.

At 7 some kids can barely read, you can't tell me they know the mechanics of sex and the descriptions of drugs.

My god.... problems reading at the age of 7? I mean, sure there are some here who have reading problems and what not.... but you make it sound like it's a common thing with the average child...... If that is the case, That clearly shows something about your education system..... I was considdered behind in reading skills at the age of 5 and didn't take me long to catch up.

And besides.... since when has someone's ability to read ever determine their intelligence?

If you guys are actually that limited in educating your children about the world around them, then perhaps it is a better idea not to let him play the game until he is educated in these situations.

The Government shelters you guys from the truth, and in turn you guys seem to do the same to your children.... that explains a lot.

It all boils down to education, teaching of responsibility and knowing limits..... whether she allows her child to play the game or not is her decision as a parent.... if she does not properly educate him or her on the game being played, then that responsibility falls on her shoulders as a parent.

If you don't agree.... then have your own kid and bring him up right as you see fit..... until you hold a kid in you for 9 months and then push it out of your body, I don't think too many mothers will enjoy you preaching to them how to raise their child.

Playing a game is one thing..... teaching your 7yo how to launch an RPG or rape a hooker is another.
