China to Ban Online Games Deemed to Promote Gangs

Sometimes, it is just. that. simple.

(via DigitalMediaWire) Beijing - China has banned online games that glamorize gangs, with the country’s Culture Ministry saying that they “encourage people to deceive, loot and kill, and glorify gangsters’ lives,” Reuters reported. [more..]

Yes, China has many faults. But this ain’t one of ‘em.

Let’s see if we can come up with some anomalies.

Protesting violent games is a violation of First Amendment rights. Publication of conservative journals, magazines, papers and books should be prohibited because readers may be convinced bigger government is bad.

For nearly 8 years violent protest of administration policies was “the most sincere form of patriotism”, during the Bush II years. Any disagreement with admin policies now is not only unpatriotic, it isn’t covered by the First Amendment and it’s undoubtedly racist.

The violence and thuggery of video games doesn’t translate into action by the players of those games. The violence of a video showing a “late-term” abortion easily translates into bombings, beheadings and general violence toward baby killers.

Maybe only in excess of 1% (15,000,000) of muslims can be classified as “extremists”, so we can’t paint anyone of that faith as an extremist. Maybe 10 so-called “Christian” extremists (less than .001%) in the past ten years have performed murderous acts in the name of their religion, but all Christians are to be painted with that broad brush.

Come on, folks. There’s got to be a bunch of them. Give me more examples so we can show China just how to conduct their campaign with the understanding of their loyal subjects.

Cracks are beginning to form in the ChiCom’s Great Wall. There were protests during the Olympics, violence in Western China, and Chinese bloggers exposing the lies of the government with respect to tainted food and gymnast ages. The male/female imbalance is causing a severe rise in crime (and homosexuality, LOL).

Earlier this year, a little noticed headline blipped across the screen: China Lays Off 20 Million Migrant Workers. The myth of their continued growth is being sustained the same way our apparent recovery is being engineered: by massive debt!

With greater income inequality than the US, the largest Army in the world won’t be able to stop a billion hungry, oppressed Chinese from reaching toward democracy and capitalism. The Soviet Union, East Germany, Romania, and Albania all thought they could get away with a controlled release of pressure. It ended up in an “oops” moment of history.

You can never believe the official statistics coming out of China. The best approximation of reality is to multiply any good official statistic by -0.25 and any bad economic statistic by +4.

We will see Chinese communism fall in our lifetimes. There will be at least one minor civil war. China will become the most populous Christian nation in the world. It sounds laughable, but I’ll bet it happens.

Nice legislation! However, it should also ban the gang of top party officials who rule with iron fist.
