Also, I didn't see much of an overreaction on the parents' part. How were the supposed to react? Their own child just got smacked into next week by a guy six times bigger than him. I'd attribute it mostly to parental instinct that they'd react with nuclear holocaust levels of panic, and I'll be the last person to defend biological instincts, but isn't parental instinct... kinda important?

The only unfortunate thing is that the kid probably felt vindicated after that.

He took away the bat--that was the most important thing, so there was no need to hit him after a light kick. Clearly, he just got pissed off, as most adults do in those situations--it wasn't a rational decision that he made; he reacted out of anger. It wasn't based on forethought. If anything, after doing what he did (rightly), the stern talking to, I might do what Aria said to do and drag him to his parents immediately (maybe not break his arm in the process though?) after getting kicked.

But no--you certainly don't hit a child, let alone a child that isn't yours, let alone that fucking hard.

You don't hit kids. It's pretty simple. He was in the wrong for doing so.

If my life would be forcibly changed as a result of conversion, then hello martyrdom.

I assume by "convert," you mean "convert". As in, actually change your life in accordance to the religion?
So, lip service wouldn't be an option anyway. You wouldn't be able to lie, because that's not a true conversion.

It's convert or die--those were the options given.

If it was rastafarianism, maybe I'd understand...

I also don't know what the hell a necromonger is, but I assumed it had something to do with Islam...

Edit:
I guess not. Ummm. Whatever, then. If it's Islamic extremists, then yeah, peace out.
If it's... I don't fucking know. I hate vague questions.

You work on extradition, that's what you do. Sing the song and dance while you're in danger, then do whatever later. If all I have to do is pay lip service to the religion, why should I care? Being where I lived in the South for the past few years, I had to pretend to be a hardcore Christian or face being a pariah. Been there, done that; it's not as God awful as it sounds.
There are simply some things that I'm not willing to compromise. And again, I'm just saying, since we're dealing with Islam here, I would think you'd have to commit a little bit more to the religion than just lip service. If it is, then sure, but... that's simply too big of an assumption when we're talking about some of the most violent and repugnant zealouts out there.

You're not just compromising your free speech here--you're compromising your life either way.
I'd rather be dead.

It being "not as godawful" as it sounds isn't really the point.

Meh. I'd pay lip service, but they can't exactly force me to believe something. Something as silly as a public label isn't worth ending your life over.
What's life worth at that point? Something tells me they wouldn't take kindly to being lied to, either.

I feel like your generally under-appreciated by the masses here. I doubt you get much money (if any) from YouTube, and the channel really helps legitimize this as a gaming community rather than a B.Net offsite. It would be awesome for this place to grow and give the creative people here a chance to use their talents, and your stuff is the foundation for that. Thanks for what you do.

How does this campaign solve the problem besides generating some buzz? I mean, this doesn't change anything
No no, modern activism is properly done as follows:

1. Identify cause
2. Create buzz
3. Repeat step 2.
what would you recommend we do instead

Been working okay for me. Then again, I don't go on it quite as much as I did when it initially came out.
