    "Gamers face jail in Greece." Just the title alone makes me want to punch a whole lot of people in the face.

    Then I read the article and decided that they needed to be killed instead.

    Honestly. This is the dumbest **** I have <b>ever</b> ****ing heard of. If they want to stop gambling, why don't they stop gambling. What the **** does it have to do with video games. ****ing heathens.

    Hmm, the news article was posted in 2002, so probably a change to that law has already been made if there really is a distress amongst the inhabitants due to it. And also, people are saying that the news item is no way related to the truth as it only concerns electronic gambling.

    Sauce:

    Or maybe that just totally explains why society is so **** up...

    Hmmm.

    Either way, I'm never going to Greece. Bunch of animals over there.

    I can gurantee that those restrictions do not, or no longer, exist, since I went to Greece a week or so ago and played Half Life 2 and Doom 3 at an internet cafe.

    And to think, Greece was the most forward-thinking place in the world. What a shame. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Lies. At 2:30 in the morning you went to bed thinking "what a ****ed up country". Woke up and thought "oh holy crap I made one dumb post. d'oh."

    Same thing. The point is that outside of Soviet Russia or China or North Korea or or wartime Germany or other places, stuff like this doesn't really happen.
