 Shoot Chavez? Why? Because he wont sell US cheap oil?

This news is BS, proposal is on the table but also US congress discussed changing French Fries to Freedom Fries so same kind of cr4p.

First get rid of despots in your own country before you go exporting democracy to other countries.

 

Because he's a tin pot dictator that's why. God knows we've put enough of those idiots in power it's time to take a few out. It's called taking out the trash.

 

Not to defend Chavez, but many people had the same feelings towards Bush... One should be careful not to fall into the trap of cultural relativism. 

He never said that he voted nor supported bush, but yea, bush was kinda dumb, just like this stuff! Ay like how i tied that in? Heh.

Anyway, I'll have to see more news sites I've actually heard of posting this, until then lets hope for the sake of gamers that this doesnt happen.  I mean, it only takes one person yelling to cause an avalanche of course.

I guess a home made game that glorifies the revolution but has ten times as much violence as a normal game would be allowed? ,)

If this news is true it's just a try to control their own citizens. Authorities may never know for sure if people are playing or plotting for a counter-revolution on such a platform.

Care to share with us what country you are from? Based on the "we put plenty of ruthless idiots in power" remark my guess is US. Who gave you the right to put anyone in power or take power from anyone? 

You don't sound like Ben Franklin to me, you sound more like king George.

Not that i would like to defend Chavez (nor incite anyone to shoot him) but cultural relativism doesnt apply here. Latin Americans share in the same European culture that people in the English speaking world (Australia, Canada, the US, etc.) possess in common with those raised in continental Europe. Yes, some of us live in countries were the majority still mantains a proud native American heritage, but that doesn't take away from our European traditions. You can measure leaders like Lula, Calderon or Kirchner by the same standards you would use on Berlusconi, Merkel or Zapatero. Chavez and Bush can be measured in the same standard (both failed poorly as leaders of western liberal democracies) without any cultural bias.

in the united states of america we study the movement from britain to this continent for almost a whole month,so we dont really care about that garbage,thus your little barb is wasted in that most of the ppl in this country dont even know who king george is

nor do we care

just about every country has been founded by murderers and rapists,so whats to be proud of ? :)

1>i hope the news is true

2>i hope the ban applies to online games as well,would be nice to have fewer cheaters and less : 

jajajajajajaja ,lol , and cries of hack in my games  as 'hack' is often the only english word they know

for those of you who are NOT complete cheating jerkwad pieces of human trash,i feel your pain as i love games myself.

ive encountered far more cheaters than legit players,thus i have very little pity for you

next stop global ip bans on the south pacific, turkey, and all middle eastern countries ! a man can dream cant he ? :)

*they should have game servers in their own regions and languages anyway for reduced lag and communication issues*

Heh, gaming could just be used as cheap entertainment... look at asian countries and the F2P gaming industry and culture over there...
