What a compelling argument you make dear. Did you come up with this all by yourself, or did Beavis and Butthead help you?

Re: DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS PLAY TEAM FORTRESS 2!!!

hi all

first i must say thank you all for this board so i can keep my son away from nasty stuff the devil puts on this earth

as grateful as i am i am here to tell you all to ban team fortress 2 (abbreviated as TF2) for the following reasons

i discovered about it this weekend when my 15 year old son charlie brought home his friend and they were playing on his friend's laptop a game where it's nothing but killing, bad words, god bashing, anti-american propaganda, and worst of all HOMOSEXUALITY

first off this is their artwork they use to advertise to the MASSES



as you can see, they all are posed to look threatening (i guess that's what boys like these days)

there is also blantent homosexuality (when the doctor heals his patients they all say things like "i love this doctor" or "get behind me doctor!")

they made a character that looks like a soldier and he talks about god's world being his ("this is my world, you are not welcome in my world!") when i heard this i was MORBIDLY SHOCKED and appalled and ashamed of my son and he knew it

i was wondering why my son was getting into fights and after i saw this i banned him from ever seeing his friends

if you see your child playing this, tell them to uninstall it and watch him do it!!!

hope this helps parents out so your child doesn't stray far from god!

Re: Everyone here is dumb

[. . .]you forbidding your son from seeing his friends is a good way to ensure that he drops all contact with you once he moves out. . .

I've met my share of gamers. . . He's never moving out.

[Mary Etheldreda]

Re: Everyone here is dumb

wow, ok, so first off, when they said “medic, get behind me”, they say it so that they could guard him,

Guard his rectum from competing roaming homers you mean!

stop trying to find “gay messages”

Stop ignoring them!

Two, of course the characters are going to look threatening, they are mercenaries.

Maybe gay mercenaries aren't threatening to you, but some men still prefer their back-doors to be a one-way tunnel, if you catch my drift.

Three, you forbidding your son from seeing his friends is a good way to ensure that he drops all contact with you once he moves out, not to mention drive him away from church altogether

The OP is a good Christian mother (Proverbs 22:15). She will discipline her child and he will not leave the faith! God promises (Proverbs 22:6)! Even if she has to discipline him with the rod, he will not die (Proverbs 23:13). Your mother should have beaten you more as a child. You wouldn't be so eager for a strange man to bugger you behind the Piggly Wiggly!

Re: DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS PLAY TEAM FORTRESS 2!!!

I'm afraid this isn't true at all. Not once does this mention homosexuality nor does it portray the soldier character as gay. The teammates merely show their appreciation to the medic because he made sure they lived. I'm going to be honest y'all need to grow up.

Hello, Miss Flemmino, and to , at . It appears that you are new here.

As with all newcomers, we would like you to skip over to our friendly Introduction Forum, where you can post a proper message of introduction. That forum is here:

Your comments about the Team Fortress characters are noted. As I am no expert on this (at the age of 84, these games have no appeal), I will let some of our other lovely members address your concerns.

I do hope that you will find your time with us to be a great blessing to you, as we study the and glorify the together.

Also, cant wait to get banned for having an opinion.

No doubt that would feed your sense of victimhood and oppression. It would also allow you to believe that you have your own unique, individually formed opinions.

I regret to inform you that i got bored so decided not to read a single word of the rules. It looked quite long so i decided not to read any of it. I hope you understand.

Well, I cannot say that I'm surprised by your rebellion, Miss Lam; although, you may very well have some rather serious regrets as our Department of Faith looks over your file!
