Games that should not be played:

[Nobar King]

Here is a seemingly harmless game: Juggler

DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN PLAY IT!!

THIS IS A JUGGALO INDOCTRINATION TRICK!!

Next thing you know they want to listen to slipknot and wear joker makeup. This threat to families must be stopped!

"The Game of Life" should be avoided at all costs, as it teaches children to depend on random chance and decision-making to lead them to happiness instead of JESUS.

Re: Games that should not be played:

I may be missing something here. But I was playing Juggler for a little while. And I can't really see how one could conclude playing a game juggling balls has anything to do with listening to Slipknot or painting your face like the joker. It seems to be a fun game to me. I'm not really sure why you don't think so.

As for the Game of Life. I found it to be a lot of fun as a kid. Kids don't think of concepts that adults think of. Children do not understand the concept of these things leading them to happiness. The point of the game is to win, not to be happy. So, in essence, I don't really see it promoting using random chance and decisions as a means of being happy. Though, to be frank, I have to admit it's not entirely inaccurate to say that to be successful in society, you must make meaningful decisions and involves a great number of random chance events. There are many things that happen in your life that you may not have expected. Thus, the randomness of life.

Whether or not you accept Christ as your savior, I don't think the games mentioned are harmful. If you take it that way, Monopoly is a far worse game. It promotes greed and hoarding of money. Trying to gain more wealth and getting rid of your competition by bankrupting them. But as a kid, I can't remember of ever thinking of it in that way. It's a game that was fun to play. And that's the point of most games. Red-rover included. I'm doubtful as to how someone was speaking of it's origin and the fact it turns into an orgy. I've never had anything of the sort happen in the past when I've played it. Tag was a lot of fun as well. Tag does not promote inappropriate touching. The only purpose is to try 'tagging' the other player and then now they're it. It's just a simple 'back and forth' game to occupy their time.

Like I said, I may be missing something. But if you would be willing to explain your viewpoints on this, I'm willing to listen.

Re: Games that should not be played:

What do you think juggalos do, jesse? They JUGGLE!! It's a disgusting clown tradition. What do you think the first thing they train you in clown school is? Juggling!! Whoever made this game is hoping that at least even one child will join the circus due to having played this game. THAT IS ONE TOO MANY!!

You know this is wrong, you just need to accept it.

Re: Games that should not be played:

Ah. I see. I'm sorry. I hadn't realized what a Juggalo was. Looking it up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juggalo , I realize now what it is. However, I'm still not sure how the word juggle has anything at all to do with Juggalo. Sure they sound similar. But have completely different meanings. So, I'm afraid I still do not understand the comparison between the two. Would you be able to clarify?

Re: Games that should not be played:

Clowns juggle. Juggalos are clowns. How much simpler can I write this for you?

Let's try Euler set theory:
Most people who juggle are clowns. Juggalos are a subset of clowns.

Some juggalos are obviously not dedicated enough to learn how to juggle.

Re: Games that should not be played:

I'm not sure I understand where this comes from. So far, any reference I've been able to find referring to a Juggalo has been about followers or fans of Insane Clown Posse. While, some seem to have some similarities, I don't think that clowns or people who juggle would necessarily be considered Juggalos.

It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.

Re: Games that should not be played:

Very well. That didn't exactly answer any of my previous questions. But that is all right. In your apparently infinite wisdom then, may you explain to me how you concluded the definition of Juggalo to be what it is. Because I cannot find that particular definition of the term. Thank you kindly.

Re: Games that should not be played:

What is there to understand? They're clowns. Do you want your children to aspire to be professional clowns, or worse, amature clowns?

Just because you're a socialist who hates America and our free, capitalist system doesn't mean that Monopoly is a bad game. The only issue I have with it is the lack of a tithing square.

Re: Games that should not be played:

Quite the opposite actually, my friend.

I love America. And capitalism and free enterprise is what makes this country successful. It's not the government. I'm quite against socialism. I'm a libertarian. One who believes in less government. More personal responsibility. More individualism. The government just mucks things up when they're trying to do thing for the people instead of doing things by the people. I was just trying to illustrate how the logic that all games are bad because of things taught in them can be skewed and changed around. I was simply saying that most kids do not usually care about things like that. It is the adults that interprets a game to be 'bad' in such a way.

[...]I was simply saying that most kids do not usually care about things like that. It is the adults that interprets a game to be 'bad' in such a way.

So, your idea, if I have it right, is that no one should tell the people what to do and no parent should tell his children what to do. Thus, I assume, that you think that God cannot tell man what to do.

What you just wrote was eloquent, well thought out, and logical. This leaves me with only one simple question: "What?"

Re: Games that should not be played:

A game for goths to buy for their children,
Columbine paint-ball goth-murder simulator:

ANNOUNCEMENT!

Columbine Paintball has moved it's facilities to further accommodate our faithful 87% of customers that come from the United Stated of America!

Columbine Paintball is now in the USA! Thank you USA for your continuous business over these last 2 years, we would not have done it without you, fellow Americans. We love you USA!

It was a very hard decision for us to perform this move, it was an extraordinary ordeal to move and rebuild this facility, but it is done now. We are sorry Canada, but the USA has shown extraordinary support for this wonderful sport of paintball and we have decided to bring Columbine Paintball to the USA to show that we appreciate their outstanding business and support. Since Americans made 87% of our business up there in Canada it just makes good business sense to move where the demand is.

We are not turning our backs on Canada, we still invite all Canadians to visit us at our new facility down in Wyoming! In fact, we are bigger and better!

Thank you again USA, we really thank you. This is all for you USA!

Support our troops overseas and pray for them

We painstakingly recreated the Columbine High school layout for you to live the action as closely as possible. Become a powerless teacher, an fearful student, a latecomer SWAT operative or an all-mighty Trench Coat Mafia gang member on a rampage, and kill without mercy in a bullet-free environment.

The only legal way to enjoy this event to the fullest is by paintball and we have it all. Come and shoot your friends and family members in remembrance at the original Columbine Paintball facility.

The thread title says, "don't play it", and that's final.
