I read their committee report and it didn&#8217;t mention video games, but it did mention how they want to change the &#8220;violent culture&#8221; that they feel turns youths into violent soldiers. In other words, like I said before, they want to regulate video game violence.<\/p>\n<p>And if they didn&#8217;t want to stick their nose where it doesn&#8217;t belong, why didn&#8217;t Alexandra Boivin say that when she was questioned initially? It took them more than week to craft the statement? I trust the terrorist-huggers at the Red Cross about as far as I could throw their headquarters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TT sends a link to from Huffington Post which updates the bit I wrote about the &hellip; <a title=\"Red Cross: Gamers are safe from war crime prosecution\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=27867\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Red Cross: Gamers are safe from war crime prosecution<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[155],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-shitbags"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27867","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=27867"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27867\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=27867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=27867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=27867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
