Bill O'Reilly gets tough on fake video game propaganda

Posted Dec 11, 2006 at 10:34AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Wii, PS3, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, PSP, PC Gaming Tags: Bill O'Reilly, Firefox, YouTube
Ó


We're reporting this as objectively as possible. No opinions. No spins. No nothing. And with lots of " ". As soon as this gets posted we're ducking safely out of the line of crossfire.

Remember the Bill O'Reilly article we posted some weeks ago? The one where he called gamers "junkies " and game consoles, particularly the PS3, as a "big, big problem" because "people get addicted to it, just like opium, just like drugs and alcohol."

Shortly after that, the "culture warrior" appeared on Oprah to air his views on the war that's tearing up America. The "culture war " is between "Traditionalists" like him who believe that "America is a noble country." On the other corner are the "Secular-Progressives" who he says think America is a "deeply flawed society that needs changes in every area."

And yes, we read it. Twice. And no, he didn't say anything about video games.

Anyway, this is not about the O' ranting on the O. This is about this video on YouTube featuring a little girl sassing back at O'Reilly's stand on video games and rap music. After watching this video we thought Cher donated her brain and this kid was the (good or bad) recipient. It turned out the girl was an actress and the whole thing was an ad for a band called The Bastard Fairies. Oh wait, we promised you a lot of quotes so here's the official statement attached to that video (we even retained the upper case as well ):

"THIS VIDEO FEATURES A TALENTED YOUNG ACTRESS PLAYING A FICTITIOUS CHARACTER. IT IS A COMMERCIAL FOR THE BAND 'THE BASTARD FAIRIES' AND DIRECTED BY AN AWARD WINNING DOCUMENTARY FILM MAKING TEAM"

So what's the fuss? O'Reilly took it a little too seriously and went on the air to slam the video with guest child advocate Wendy Murphy calling it "an ultimate inhuman treatment of a child." O'Reilly then says the girl is "being raised by nuts" who are "abusing her emotionally."

Okay, so this is not directly a gaming issue. But we thought we'd use it warn you not to use your kids (or kid brother or sister) to take on O'Reilly about his views on video games. Unless you want to be called a "nut" and "an emotional abuser."

Was that objective reporting or what?

You know...

If this video was made and kind of just existed within the confides of cyber space, I probably would of giggled (like I did) and then thought nothing more of it. But the fact that O' Reily and FOX News both talked about it as a "serious issue" makes me fall in love with "The Bastard Fairies" and whoever put this together. I dont know who they are or what their music is like, but anyone who helps in making O' Reily look like an idiot is forever in my debt :D

Disgusting

Seriously, this is disgusting. Oreily is bad two and so is oprah. Its all out of proportion. Things like this never happened when mario was kicking bowsers @$$ on the nintendo. Nor was it when street fighter was out in the arcades. Rediculous

I couldn't agree more

Wow i'm so glad my parents weren't like this kid's parents. Just add this to one more stupid atheist trying to push their agenda and using video games to do it.

someday you'll get it, like it or not

Romans 14:7-11 (New International Version) New International Version (NIV) 7 For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone. 8 If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. 9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. 10 You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat. 11 It is written: " 'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.'

parents

I hope this kid is pulled from the super liberal parents. Shame on them for this sort of mental child abuse.

by - 2006-12-11 11:58:24
ummm

Her parents are cruel and unjust psychopaths..... they're forcing her child to say all their views over the internet to the entire world because they're too much of cowards to do it themselves. They're views are extremely skewed and closed-minded so what they are saying don't have any effect towards me or my views. These people are pathetic, blaming Bill O'Reilly for current issues. Where exactly does O'Reilly state the video games are causing violence in real life. He's ONLY stated that the people who allow themselves to be consumed by video games are the problem, not video games themselves! All you O'Reilly bashers better look for a better excuse to throw rotten fruit at him, because as far as his views on the issue presented here... he's pretty much correct.

by - 2006-12-11 12:03:31
why I don't read the bible

The bible is unprovable and written by ancient idiots. Those same authors living today would be in the insane asylum. Why doesn't anbody listen to current generation crackpots and what they say? Because they're insane. Religion might have the intent of doing good, but you'd have to be an idiot to believe it. Independent thought and morals by the right people will someday solve far more problems and misery than religion ever could. Besides, that kid made a very good point wether or not she was told to say those things.

BULL*****!

You f**king cult idiot! You are well informed of a misleading closed minded belief that is disgusting and perverted, you hypocrite!

by - 2006-12-11 12:24:15
oh really.....

the theory of Evolution is unprovable and written by new-age idiots. Those same authors living back in older times would have been ignored and ridiculed. Why do people listen to current generation crackpots and what they say? Because they don't want to believe in a God. Evolution never had the intent of doing good, but many idiots still believe it. Independent thoughts and immorality by many people will still cause far more problems and misery than religion ever did. Besides, that kid didn't make any good points... even if they weren't even her own views and she was forced to say them. The reason i posted this against Mr. Common Sense is that those statements are opposing statements but said in the exact same fashion as you presented your argument. There was no fact, only all opinion based in there. You want to know what really causes wars and major conflict? It's not religion, it's opposing world views. Conflict will always be here, no matter if religion is present or not, so there is irrefutable evidence against this little girls claims and your own. I agree that violence has always existed way before media came into play in modern society, but i don't see how that comes into view when trying to discredit O'Reilly about this issue presented here right now. Where and when did he announce these claims? Nowhere and never. The only thing he's said against video games was that people were allowing them to consume their lives and THUS they got violent when waiting in line for the PS3 when it came out because they would do anything, even hurt other people to get their grubby hands on the new video game system. Gaming IS addictive, that's already been proven. Violence as a direct result of gaming? It's been proven against that, there isn't proof that violence in video games causes violence in real life.... but there is something that has been proven. Addiction and fear that you won't get your fix WILL nudge that addict into resulting to violence if he/she thinks they won't get what they want.

by - 2006-12-11 12:25:18
Disagree w/ both

As a parent there is no way I would alow my child to be used as a means to spread propaganda against religion. This is down right sacrilegious. Shame on the parents and the rock band that had this produced. As for the Media...here they go again using anything they can as a means of promoting their agenda against video games. I am sick and tired of them as well. Their arguement is empty.

by - 2006-12-11 12:28:10
STFU

Anyone who wants to Impose Their Views on other people Are Free to do so, but dont whine when somebody has a counter argument. People are free to make up their own Minds, if u cant handle that. than go shoot yourself. dont whine about it on your on TV show. dont be a Pawn is what im saying, if you believe something, state the evidence of why you believe it, not Propaganda.

by - 2006-12-11 12:29:22
ugh...

Sad, parents exploiting thier children to push thier own agendas.... anyways, why did the parent dres the girl up like a slut? Was that to re-enforce his mind set that, Rap music doesn't make people violent...it makes them sluts?

by CHUCKINGROCKSATSPACESHIPS - 2006-12-11 12:29:47
To Mr. Common Sense

Well said. I am getting sick of all these people around me trying to push religions on me that are fairy tales of people that lived long ago who were either retarded, high, or trying to become known for something in their time. When these religions were made, people did not understand the world and thought alot of the things they seen were magical and did not know the Earth was round, did not know what the dinosaurs were and thought the stars in the sky were holes with heaven shining light though and such.

by - 2006-12-11 12:31:06
What?

First of all, the only thing this girl said that was wrong was mentioning south park and family guy in the same sentence, south park is way much smarter than family guy (or simpsons for that part), family guy is just stupid (but nontheless really, really funny=)). I think it's really strange how some people, even here at a game-news-site, react:S This is not super liberal parents in Sweden anyway:S

by - 2006-12-11 12:31:55
its really sad how hopeless you are.....

Psalm 14:1 (New International Version) New International Version (NIV) Psalm 14 For the director of music. Of David. 1 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society [NIV at IBS] [International Bible Society] [NIV at Zondervan] [Zondervan] People screw up dude, but the truth is still the same... and going by the comments you make, language, and the way you react to the name of Jesus. im gonna have to call this spot on.

fgf

id ***** her

by - 2006-12-11 12:36:56
care not

mmm, all my views in a nice lil package. give or take.. isnt the news channel doing exactly the same thing bassed on the video, using the video of a child and making an issue of it to fill 20 minutes and make it seem like their down to earth with whats going on.... if you look at the back scene of why this was made and for who and by who, the implications are a lil more minimal. as well shes a young actress or something.. and don't actors in movies talk the same lines and topics... i see no basis of comparison for the fact that shes a child vs and more educated actor in hollywood (if thats true at all)

by - 2006-12-11 12:39:19
What I say has no effect on idiots, but I say it anyway

No effect towards you huh? Uh oh she's making a point, time to tune it out and complain instead. Since when can't parents teach their child their beliefs? If some kid was on the internet saying christian beliefs they were forced to believe in private school or whatever wouldn't that be the same thing? Religion promotes more closed mindedness than anything else in the world. It will never evolve or improve. Uh oh I made a good point now tune me out, believe everything you were brainwashed to believe, and continue never thinking independently. That's America baby!

by - 2006-12-11 12:40:22
This reminds me

of watching them terroist videos where they have their kids rant about killing americans and anyone that isn't from their country. Has anyone else seen them? That is what this little girl looks like to me. Watch this and see what I mean http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdFMslbDccs

by - 2006-12-11 12:44:05
Stupid atheist?

What makes atheists stupid exactly. I want an explanation. Stupidity is believing everything you're told. If you decide something on your own after careful thought, that makes you smarter. What you never thought about how likely the things you're told to believe are wrong? I guess you're the stupid one here.

by - 2006-12-11 12:44:57
ha!

making a kid do that is maybe a little far, but I agree with the message 100%

by WarLord - 2006-12-11 12:48:17
Awwe, now that is just precious.

I hope those who are against the parents of that little girl are also against all the parents who turn their kids into television stars early, and put them in commercial roles that have them present a product or service they probably can't comprehend yet. This sort of thing happens all the time in the media world, so why the hell does this one get picked out of the litter? With that aside, the people behind that message made good points. Points that O'reily and others have yet to respond to. Violence is apart of life, and no form of media can prevent it. The fact that we're arguing about violence in media is hopefully a sign that real life violence is at a record low. Otherwise, we're just wasting more time than I thought.

by - 2006-12-11 12:51:39
I agree

I agree, this video is very good. I even wonder if this is childabuse: look at a 'good' ameriacan christmas movie, how much christianity is poured into that and has to be presented by child 'actors' who are 'made to believe' (please no religious harm ment, it's just that a relegion is also a belive wich is put in a childs head, just as has been done in this video). I agree that they took it a little far (let a child talk about nazi's can't be right.. right?) but still the video is good. What bothers me the most it that in america the statement's presented by the girl are very extreme (in, let say Holland, this statements aren't that extreme anymore..) and she could suffer greatly from it. Let's hope she doesn't.

by - 2006-12-11 12:53:35
Finally an intelligent response

O'Rilley didn't even address what she said, just the fact that a kid said it. Then made a big debate about that so it would seem like this kids parents are immoral child abusers or something. Fox is the true propoganda experts but somehow it's "fair and balanced NEWS."

by WarLord - 2006-12-11 12:57:48
Lol

Even so, I watch Fox more than MSNBC or local news. In fact, I have it on right now. (Blushes) I guess I just love to hate it.

by - 2006-12-11 12:59:17
right you are

Why do you have to confront us with your idears? (I'm not calling them insane idears, I'm not saying anything about any religion; but PLEASE: A RELEGION IS A PERSONAL THING: DO NOT CONFRONT OTHER WITH YOUR BELIEVES!

by - 2006-12-11 13:03:58
I wish I could have written a book 2000 years ago

In it I would say: Do not always believe what you are told. Others have beliefs and desires they want to impose on you and without careful consideration, they will take advantage of you. People do not like to admit they are wrong, yet admitting you're wrong when appropiate is what makes people smarter. Living should be a quest for knowledge, and accurate information is essential. All people want you to share their beliefs, but they are often based on greed. If you're a fool who believes everything, everyone will take advantage of you.

by - 2006-12-11 13:06:45
Truth Is This Is Bad

To me, with this girl it is too young. That is bad and should never have happened, just due to age. Thats it though, believe what you want, like Atheism, or Christianity (AHAHAHA). The only problem with this clip is the age, nothing else.

by - 2006-12-11 13:07:34
Isn't that a cute little terrorist?

That's funny because the message is less killing in the name of religion. You might want to watch the whole thing next time.

Nope

Not here in Denmark, neither. I think the US is the only country in the western world to have such a big part of the population believe in god, and get so angry when someone makes something like this.

by - 2006-12-11 13:15:53
where?

Where did it say that? I sure didnt see it, though I read it here before I watched it, still think she has nothing strange to say...

by - 2006-12-11 13:18:38
How can you...

How can you believe in a book written ~100 years after "the savior" lived? And that's the oldest gospel in the new gospels, most are way younger. The theory of evolution builds on 100% more facts than the bible, since the bible doesn't built on any at all. ***** JESUS CHRIST, THE VIRGIN MARY, THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE POPE, AND GEORGE W. BUSH. Amen.

by - 2006-12-11 13:20:44
oops

i bet fox just decided to ignore that lil detail since it would make it better news.... or news at that...

by - 2006-12-11 13:27:34
Nothing mad about this :S

I dont think there should be so much problem with this video, the kid is right, playing videogames does not make us killers, i like F.P.S is and action games, beat them ups, i never got into a fight, ive seen weapons...hunting weapons, shotguns i dont even like to try it for real, but in videogames i like to kick some ass ;) but not for real...terrorism...torture people.... is not that a lot bad ? and it is much more real...they show it on tv and dont *****ing care if there are children looking...and now they make all this fuss about this...videogames are not the cause for any violence...if it was so even super mario would be banned...because there is violence too...we kill turtles mushrooms...from a certain point of view every game is violent...i love videogames... but i would never kill someone only because i played GTA or another game...video games are fun... its where you do what you cant do for real...Do you think terrorists have ever played a videogame? I dont think so...George bush ever played any strategy game? Dont think so?...Marines and soldiers in Iraq have they played F.E.A.R Half Life or any other game where they *****ing shoot someone(virtually)...But they shoot for real.....also are shot...its not videogames...its madness...wrong decisions...religions...but not our *****ig videogames...we love them...we can virtualy have a lot we cant for real...just like cars...we can drive ferraris etc etc its a way to make hard things to happen for real to be easy to have in a virtual world.

by - 2006-12-11 13:28:03
not what I ment

I ment it that it's parents using their kids to fuel their own selfish desires. These kids should not be made to do stuff like this. Think of her friends and her life now. This kid most likely had a good life then you get a bunch of wacko parents telling her "Honey you want to be on tv and the internet? All you have to do is read these lines that we don't have the balls to say ourselves." The thing is that they are using their kid to get "THEIR" message across the same as the terriost use their kids to get their message across. There is also a differance between a kid doing a sprite commerical and one doing a propagada video for loving mommy and daddy.

Transformers aka non-logic aka where is my cap

You know, making comments like "This is child abuse" or even insinuating that this is child abuse is absolutely non-sense! Everyone is siding to: Man, those liberals are nuts! Well, I have got some news for you, thats exactly what a right wing nut case like Bill O'Reilly WANTS you to think. Did you notice how they never once took any stand on the actual comments themselves? It's because the only immediate defense they could muster was something 'obvious'. Here's the thing: How is this child abuse? In what fashion does it constitute child abuse? For one everything she said is absolutely correct! She's on the 'world stage' whereby she's citing the truth about how centuries of religious genocide have been committed. If you know anything about the world, then you should know that religion has been the catalyst, direct, or latent 'cause' (ie. WWII Jews-no it wasn't their fault!) of more tragedy then imaginable. Children mimic, learn directly or passively from adults, it's how they grow up. AND aside from that, she's an actress!! If you want to be a real about it then why don't you all march on Dakota Fannings parents house, because in her next movie she is raped. How's that for child abuse? Once again, avoid the real issues. True right wing republicans are crazy. Why do you think they dug out Wendy? She's an extremist! They knew about the strong reaction they'd receive. God people, don't you know that there's more than meets the eye?

by - 2006-12-11 13:55:08
yes really

Evolution is only a theory. It was never intended to form a religion or solve the worlds problems. It's called scientific progression. It is based on observations, evidence (fossils, etc.), and scientific deduction. I would not call Darwin and others idiots only because they had an opposing view. Unlike the bible or other works of fiction, this is based on things that can be proven. It's true these people would be dismissed, ridiculed, and probably killed for their beliefs in ancient times. You're missing an important point. People were essentially savages then. They knew nothing they could not see with their eyes. Not much has changed in that area since. Could it be because not being muslim is a crime in many areas? . Religion does cause world conflict because it influences culture. This has dated back all the way to the crusades. Countries where religion is less prominent have fewer wars. Coincidence? The biggest problem with people in the US is they like to believe what they're told, as long as it doesn't go against what they were previously brainwashed to believe.

Mr. Common Sense Needs Justification...

Believing what you can perceive on your own makes you ignorant. And no, stupidity is not believing what you are told, as clever as you hope that makes you sound. Speaking of amorality and the agendas pushed by religion... What the ***** is that little girl being forced to do? Sounds like some stupid athiest who is insecure in their beliefs pushing for some inner justification of his own beliefs. If it makes you feel intelligent to fight the crowd, then by all means, continue. Someone who is intelligent stops to think about why the crowd pursues what it does. Sometimes, to follow the crowd means you are a lemming. Other times, it means you aren't naive enough to stay behind out of stubborness. To each his own, leave the kid alone, take your egotistical agendas somewhere else. Yeah, they diss people preaching to them... So what the ***** were they doing just now? Think about that.

by - 2006-12-11 14:03:49
To Mr. Common Sense

You are ignorant. I don't know what else to say to someone as close-minded and niave as yourself. God Bless, I'll pray for you.

by - 2006-12-11 14:08:56
Did you guys even read

Did you guys even read the article posted?! You just went straight to the point and accused the child's parents of child abuse. The little girl is an actress you blind sighted motha f**kas.. Bill O'Reilly makes you violent, like what you guys are doing now, trolling

by - 2006-12-11 14:14:16
hey stupid...

...i thought only God could judge, i agree that its wrong that these parents have exploited their child, im from hollywood, happens everyday, but to blame atheists, now your just stereotyping like the next retard

by - 2006-12-11 14:24:19
God.

He doesn't exist, he has never, nor will he ever. The idea of a maker, who has made this world, and then just turned its back on it, is redicilous. Everything in this world is just a coincidens, everything in this universe if a coincidens... It just happened... No one knows how, but no f*ing way it was a fat dude who made the world in a 6 days... And yes, religion has caused many wars and while still cause many. I thing, that as long as man lives, there'll be religion.. Sadly, and becoz of that religion we will all be doomed, The Christians went on Cruisades, in the Koran some where, there's something about that the muslim belife should be forced by swords... F*** religion.. It's all messed up... I don't hope i'll end up in Paradise or Hell forever.. I'd rather just be happy about the thought that I'll die, and then nothing.. No more worries, just eternal peace... And no, a utopia is not possible as long as there is free will, and a utopia is not possible without freewill.

Salut

I salut you Mr. Common Sense

by - 2006-12-11 14:27:06
this is great

I love this.... I think that the kid shouldn't be influenced and used this way by the parents but how can that be stopped...it cant and it happens on both sides of the coin... but I agree with whoever told her to say the stuff. oh and by the way...religion sucks and does cause wars.

by - 2006-12-11 14:32:44
Matt is a religious cult leader, he needs donations!

Your first sentence makes no sense whatsoever. If people believed everything they're told, we'd still be in the middle ages. Only stupid people NEED somebody to explain how things work. Sure not everybody who decides something on their own is right, but you need to think about what you're told and not blindingly believe it. I'm sorry if you don't have the mental capacity to make your own correct decisions, but many people do. This kid is an actress and if you were intelligent you would read the article instead of acting like you know what you're talking about. See, if I believed the sh*t you said I would be wrong. I asked for an explanation what makes atheists stupid and all you did was pile more BS on top of the previous post. I know you don't want to admit you're stupid or wrong and that's why you will continue to get stupider. I'm not wasting any more time expaining this to you retards as you have a chronic mental ilness preventing you from admitting you're wrong.

by - 2006-12-11 14:39:17
you know whats sad ?

its sad that bush hasnt done anything horrible in iraq lately so now they gotta pick on the internet users who try to get ***** out.. if anything this just made this little girl famous , props to the parents and more power to them ! cant believe the news/this ***** doesnt have anything better to protest against

athiest

Gosh your right the fact that I believe something that people wiser and smarter than me really does make me stupid. Thanks for pointing that out. Just because you think your wise because you come up with your own ideas just makes you have a hard time believing what others might believe because you want to be different and you want to rub buddha's belly. Believing nothing makes you just ignorant. Take a deep breath. Do you know what all it took for your body to do that? About 1000 things just happened in your body to make that breath possible and to provide oxygen into your blood stream. That is God's design my friend not some random thing that just happens to work out.

what are you talking about moron

i'm not closed-minded towards other people's views like you choose to accuse me of. It has no effect on me because it DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. She made many BAD points, so why should it affect me you moron. When did i mention religion in my post? Are you writing things in your mind and thinking that i am the person saying those things? You didn't even make any points, you're just blabbering on about what you believe, no facts or anything. You're just another one of those sheep following a biased shepherd and doing what you were TAUGHT, not what you learned on your own. I wasn't saying you can't teach your child whatever you want. I was saying that it's insane and cruel to force your child to address YOUR views across the world because YOU YOURSELF don't have the balls to show your own face on the video. Why am i even addressing you anymore, you're too stubborn to even listen to reason anyways.

first of all Mr. Common Sense and Bull*****

Mr. Common sense, you are a hypocrite. Are you trying to say that you learned EVERYTHING YOU KNOW by finding it out yourself? You mean you didn't read any books that had that information in it? You were never taught anything and believed it? Hypocrite, you won't admit you're wrong either... so what gives you the right to claim your own personal beliefs are the right ones? I suggest you shut up about it and move onto something else. This article is about Bill O'Reilly and that little girl in that video on YouTube. Bull*****, where is your 100% more facts than history huh? I thought history sorta IS fact. If the "theory" of evolution had 100% more facts than the bible..... then why is it that it's just a little THEORY and not a fact? hmm......

context

Mr. O'reily's whole point was that the girl was being taught to hate others who believed differently than she does or in this case her parents do. Coincidentally this mind set is what causes wars, not religion. I don't know about Islam, but Christianity doesn't promote war. Those wars started in the name of chrisianity were generally started for political and/or monetary reasons. they can't be supported by scriptural beliefs. I listened to the radio broadcast involving this video and video games were discussed as a separate issue and O'Reilly's point there was that people can use video games as a mode of escapism and avoid real life altogether if they desire and if they do they are doing themselves a disservice. I think that some things have been taken out of context and made to say things they weren't meant to say.

Mr. Common What?

That's the thing... People are forced to go to Church? Last time I checked I walked to Church of my own volition. Common Sense's only arguements involve mud-slinging, but with good reason--he frustrates himself by trying to argue without logic, much less arguing an *opinion*. Common Sense's interpretation of free-thinking is obviously skewed, considering you failed to address the fact that this video is pure propaganda. Maybe I should listen to this video, because it's so enlightening... Or wait, isn't it telling me what to believe? This debate isn't about religion or your obsession with the word 'cult', but your ineptitude in the understanding of the very arguments you yourself preach. Think carefully before you begin spouting things, it may help your credibility, who knows?

Religion is Evil, so is Bill Oreilly

These right wing yahoos on fox and oreillys show are the ones that are abusing not only children but adults with their views, i fear more for the children of the right wing conservative republicans and christians than i do for someone else. I personally agree with everything that kid said, i have said it before and still agree that religion is the base of all evil. Christians think how good they are but are really hipocrits and liars. If they were true christians and i emphasize that point, they would not be so quick to judge, thats not part of the chrisitan values that are taught, but they think it is. If there was no religion in the world, it would be a better place. More people have died and suffered cause of religion and it still happens everyday. So i think Bill Oreilly and his narrow minded cronies need to go ***** themselves cause they are probably the most ignorant people on this planet. Bill comes off so high and mighty but is probably finger banging small children in house or something else that is more vile than what he is saying this girl is doing. I think parents should teach their kids the truth about whats going on today and to think outside the box, not be a sheep or a conformist, stand up and be who they are or what they want to be, not send them to church which is a form of brainwashing. Down with Religion and up with Individualism!

This was awesome

I hope kids were more involved. However, I am really sickened at the bastard fairies for using a child as a political tool. I totally support bashing O'Reilly, but the fairies should have more balls and do it themselves. Stop using inncoent children, even if they are actors.

Religion and Everything else

I just Watched the Video and Nothing She Said Was False, It is the Republicans that Pushed for war in Iraq, More People have been Killed in the Name of Religion than Anything else. Maybe without Religions we will all be a bit normal. everyone thinks that thier Religion is Best, that Other Religions are Evil and That their Worshipers are going to Hell.. Hmm... i say thats a whole lot more Violent that Counter Strike. In Counter STrike U kill other Player Virtually. Religions (not just the Ones that Preach Killing Other humans but the one you go to Every Sunday) Say that I am Going to Burn in Hell for all of Eternity, In Coutner Strike i just have to wait till the end of the round so i can get a 2nd Chance.

by - 2006-12-11 17:25:58
get real

since the starty of man there has been fighting and war rock to bronze bronze to iron iron to steel steel to lead (bullets) now your trying to say that violence is caused by video games and rap music i think people need to relise that nothing is to blame besides your self dont try to say ***** like oh but this is child abuse how the hell is it shes a god dam actor and religon is the theroy that evry 1 accepts as fact the evolution theroy is just that a theroy that is called a theroy unlike religon which is called fact by the churchs come on. ive been listinin 2 rap music since i was 8,ive been playin violent video games since i was 5 including ma15+ and im not violent unless im started and ive heard worse mouths on kindergaten kids then this girl i think wat u should all do is grow the hell up and relise that no matter wat u say there will always been people to disagree there will always be war over somthing and that no matter what people are goin 2 find something to blame there problems on

by - 2006-12-11 17:26:28
No

The only people not open minded are christians who deny every little. I can say this as I've been brainwashed into one my whole life and now I'm finally at the age with the opportunity to look back and reflect on my decisions and beliefs. The bible is worthless. Easily 50% or more is repulsive and offensive to today's world. So what do the church's do? They skip those parts. And after all, we can't ignore this, because the bible itself says god's word knows no age: The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand for ever. [Isaiah 40 verse 8] The law of the Lord is perfect. [Psalm 19:7] Have some excerpts to see what you believe in: Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy. For six days you shall labour and do all your work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns. [Exodus 20: 8-9] For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death. [Exodus 31: 15] If you guys keep thumping the bible... You must put anyone who works on Sunday to death. Statistics show this is more than half the working population of the United States. What do you believe in again? Oh yea and you choose what to believe? Well Jesus says you sure as hell aren't going to heaven: For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. [Matthew 5:20] If you don't follow every law to the perfection of the people who spread them in the first place, you may as well not follow them at all in Jesus's eyes. You wont end up in heaven. If a man or woman living among you in one of the towns the LORD gives you is found doing evil in the eyes of the LORD your God in violation of his covenant, and contrary to my command has worshiped other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or the moon or the stars of the sky… Take the man or woman who has done this evil deed to your city gate and stone that person to death. [Deut 17:2-7] STONE ME TO DEATH, I'M A NON-BELIEVER. NO WONDER CHRISTIANITY WAS THE DOMINANT RELIGION OF AGES PAST WERE VIOLENCE WAS AN ACCEPTABLE THING. The residue left over makes it the most popular religion today. Does that make it right? No. It jsut means they killed more people to become the dominant belief. Even members of your own family cannot be spared: If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods …do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. [Deut 13:7-12] EVER USED THE NAME OF THE LORD IN VAIN? YOU BROKE A COMMANDMENT. GOD HAS A PENALTY FOR THAT. YOU PROBABLY NEVER READ THE BIBLE AND NEVER KNEW IT: Anyone who blasphemes the name of the LORD must be put to death. The entire assembly must stone him. [Lev 24:16] SWORE AT YOUR PARENTS? THE PENALTY IS JUST THE SAME: All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. [Leviticus 20:9] ANYONE WHO CHEATS ON HIS/HER HUSBAND WIFE MUST BE KILLED: If a man commits adultery with another man's wife - with the wife of his neighbor - both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death. [Leviticus 20:10] HOMOESEXUALS MUST BE KILLED: If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death. [Leviticus 20:13] NO REASON TO GO ON... THERE'S HUNDREDS OF MORE EXAMPLES. THE BIBLE IS A JOKE AND COMPLETELY UNRELATABLE TO TODAY'S WORLD. THE END.

where has this post gone?

Still not seing where you religious types are going with this. Back to topic here, this video may be propaganda, but you're just upset because it's the kind against your beliefs. Do you know how much pro war propoganda there is? Or propoganda against stem cell research and abortion? This video is definately a better kind of propoganda because it is against war and killing. Sure you can argue abortion and stem cell research are wrong but that's just opinion. Yeah the truth is kind of offensive sometimes but deal with it. The truth is, religion causes more violence. I don't know how anybody could dispute that. It has gone on for thousands of years and will never end unless something changes. Religions NEVER change. Therefore, no matter how many war causing problems are solved, religion will always be the main factor that causes war. You could always blame it on one side or another, but both are at fault. Sorry to go over your head there. Also as a former catholic, I had to go to church 6 days a week. I had to go before school every day and on the weekend. Mass never really changed at all and I can still memorize the whole thing even after not going for 8 years. Let's just say that made me tired of everybody telling me what to believe so I have my own now. I am a moral person and I don't do any wrong to others. Religion is often nailed in the head of kids from an early age, to the point of nothing else even being comprehensible to them. This is wrong. With this video, it's just that a video. It's not being shown to children over and over again from an early age to brainwash them. It's an idea, which is what religion should be, ideas. When it becomes a belief, it's carved in stone and can never be changed. Some 2000 year old beliefs are obsolete. You think I don't know what I'm talking about? Of course not. While I really am enjoying this, it's totally pointless to try to change somebody's mind about what they were taught at an early age, so I'll leave you two to bicker amongst yourselves.

I learned what I know from sources I thought to be reliable. Books, newspapers, magazines, whatever. How could I learn without a source? I make sure my sources are reliable. If somebody tells me something and they can't prove it or would have a reason to lie, I don't always believe it. You must really think I'm stupid or something. No I don't read, I just watch fox news all day and they feed me crap to make me support the war and other conservative propoganda. WTF? Do you think I just make crap up?

To Koru-Sama

What is your point. Evolution is more proof that any "magical" religion. Maybe the idea of god is the idea of everything ever put together. God is not a he or a she. God created the idea, right? I am part of god and you are part of god. Mars is part of god and so is the sun and all the galaxies and the forces. I believe beyond what the bible says. The bible is petty in its thought of god. I would not believe anything that came to me and told me they were god, even if it was some sort of huge entity from space because there would always be something greater then it, and everything there is and ever was is. _______________________________________ End of hippie talk for now.

Mr... Again.

You've finally come around in one respect, in seeing that this is in fact a matter of opinion. However, your assertions on religion are still flawed. I don't take particular offense to this video, people are entitled to their opinion, I just believe this propaganda in itself is total garbage. As a former Muslim, and now Roman Catholic, (two of the most notoriously violent religions on the planet) I am very familiar with the Sacrifice of the Mass and the teaching of the Koran. Religion in itself is not a problem, or a source of violence, the opposite, in fact. People are violent, and religion will always be a channel for that at times. (The EXACT same as Nationalism, ambition, etc.) Look at WWII. It was nothing the Jews did, but nationalistic fervor and religious and economic notoriety of Jewish people (though those claims were bull) that caused the Nazi uprising. It isn't 'religion' persee, but its effectiveness as a channel for these emotions. Nationalism and other, lesser, diversions work the same way. I agree with you on religious propaganda. Religion is one of the most personal things on Earth, and throwing it in someones face usually fails to produce a whole-hearted embrace, or whatever. As a Catholic, we are taught to lead by example...You know that I'm sure, Catholics were never big on door to door stuff. I'm going to stay away from the abortion issue, which entails stem cell research, because that in my 'opinion' isn't a matter of opinion...but a matter of fact, and like you said, this whole string we are having is way off topic. Point in case, this was a stupid post by QJ. The implications visited in this video were far and away off the topic of video gaming, and more of a pseudo-intellectual rant by a liberal purpose-driven band. This discussion lacks relevance because this topic lacks relevance to video gaming. Sorry about any hard feelings that may have occured, and I apologize for anything that I said. Take it easy yall.

Red2Lucas

Sorry lucas, I overlooked your comment at first. Good point, except that indeed she is an actor, as the article mentions and as Mr. Common Sense mentioned to me. I think in general having a little girl perform that... Well, it's not something I'd have my child do. I would take my child to Church until he is of age, and then it's his decision, he never has to go back. The flaw however, is that you are comparing the 'propaganda' of spirituality and Church (for those who are bent in thinking that the Catholic Church is all about secret agendas and Da Vinci codes, well, your clever, laser-sharp minds are spared from this discussion) to the message that little girl was presenting. The video was telling people how to think, I'm not sure what Church you go to...But that's not what Catholics preach. Morality is in no way comparable to jabbing propaganda present in that video. Was that 'Gangs like the Republican party,...killing innocent people' Yeah, that one made me laugh a little. In the end though, it's your opinion, really. If you deem that comparable, then, alright man. Go ahead. Common Sense is right though, this is all opinion, this is going nowhere.

My impression of O'reilly "HEY is there anything we can do to these parents for making they're daughter call me an idiot. honestly my view on it is every ones over doing it with the ohh that poor little girl.... did you see the way she played her part it was more than she was just reading a script ...every ones saying aww she has no idea what shes saying....pshh yeah for all we know she could be a 24 year old girl that looks ridiculously young and if not ohh the ***** well she served her purpose "hey lets use a lil girl so that instead of just a few people seeing it ....every one will" and it *****ing worked so every one who thinks this is child abuse go ***** off anyone that thinks o'reilly is a good/smart/talented/well thought out man can also go ***** themselves...and as for the religion stuff that girl made a great point violence has been around way back when pac man was just eating *****ing dots way before the days of shooting hookers there really is no way of telling what someones gonna do we've had crazies that never played a violent game in theyre life that went out and disemboweled someone ...and me ive played *****ty games like GTA and never once did i actualy feel the urge to ACTUALY go outside and shoot someone...sure maybe video games could give someone an idea of how to do something violent but it doesnt put the violence inside the indevidual the violent beheivor would be there either way so ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ohh no im useing bad words does that mean im gonna grow up and shoot someone...nope im 21 and ive had a filthy potty mouth since ***** i was 13 and i think the worst ive ever done is ***** on someones car in retaliation !!!! so once agn ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****!!!

Where do they find these nutjob child advocates? She looks like an evil wench children are probably scared of.

HELL YEAAHHHH

A LOT OF WHAT THE GIRL SAID ABOUT RELIGION AND VIDEO GAMES IS RIGHT. RELIGION AND GANGS AND EVEN REPUBLICANS WHO ARE WAR HUNGRY ARE WHATS CAUSING VIOLENCE NOT VIDEO GAMES. ALSO IF VIDEOGAMES SPECIFICALLY BECOME AN OBSESSION AT LEAST ITS AN OBSESSION THAT WONT GET YOU KILLED LIKE ALCOHOLISM OR DOING TOO MUCH DRUGS. I THINK BILL O REILLY IS ADDICTED TO YOUTUBE BUT YOU DONT SEE ME KNOCKING HIM. LAST THING SOMEONE MAY HAVE TOLD THE LITTLE GIRL WHAT TO SAY BUT EVERYTHING BILL O REILLY SAYS IS FROM HIS OWN MIND AND I THINK THAT IS VERY SCARY.

Koru sama...

The theory of evolution is fairly new (in tearms of the bible) and to some outragous, but what is more believable, a story of two people making everyone on the world, a "god' making the universe, a man saving all the worlds animals...OR...a scientific look to show how the world actully formed...(big bang..human evolution from a single celled organism to a multiple celled-complex organism "us") In my opinion that is something more realistic than believing a 2000 year old book on events that they believed at that time to explain the world...we look at greek mythology today and see how outragous it was to believe how there was a god for everything that lived on a mountain...same applies here... religion explains what cannot be explained or to prove my point what people DON'T want explained ti them (the non-believer of evolution) Now i am in no way against religion for i am on the fence between both sides..i look at what is being presented and see the more logical answer.

did she say somthing that is inaccurate?

People are complianing about a girl being used to express an adult's ideas. The fact is that what she was saying is overwhelmingly true! Where are the people disputing the facts? Can you make a credible agrument that video games are more harmful than religion? Would it be better if she was influenced/brainwashed by people who do believe in gods and fairies? And yes I realize she is an actress...

Psalm 14:1, That Is Stupid Cult Talk

It is not creditable words of wisdom. This is cult babble that make no sense. Only a fool would believe in that and waste valuable life thinking that is true. I think I would talk like that if I were high too. Another thing then is that you are a hypocrite and are going to Hell for using the computer you are using because the teachings of Christ tell you to be simple and not destroy the world.

@ Mr. Common Sense

Here's a quote from your post: "Only stupid people NEED somebody to explain how things work." So you call everyone who needs things to be explained stupid? That's quite the irony. Seeing as you don't care for religion, it'll be assumed that you depend on explanations from scientists. But wait; isn't that needing someone to explain how something works? According to you that would be calling yourself stupid. Don't start giving me the old "but science is based on facts" junk. Religion and science both have factual explanations that can be proven. Now surely you wouldn't use such hypocritical statements would you? I mean come on, only stupid people do that right? You and a lot of other people should just quit echoing what mommy and daddy tells you, along with the crap you hear on the news, and start developing your own opinion. That's obviously not your opinion because it's the same "Religious People" speech I hear every time the subject is brought up.

Bear in mind that I'm not trying to convince anyone of what to believe/think. My point is that people should simply quit trying to sound intelligent by trying to disprove something they can't.

jeez man

O'Reilly is just... he's nuts. He has no idea what their life is like, what if the girl needed to do that commercial so she could live decently, or go to college, what if she was living on a can of soup a week? In that case, make like 900 commercials, whatever. This is just... America's downfall is in this being news, not in this being here.

I'm not trying to convince anyone either, just think about what you believe.

Nothing can be proven about religion. A book written 100 years later after Jesus died is not any proof. Mark wrote the first gospel, then Matthew and Luke based theirs on Mark's. John's is totally different and who knows what he based his writings on. The old testament is even less believable. That's why believing it is called faith. It absolutely cannot be proven.

You know, making comments like "This is child abuse" or even insinuating that this is child abuse is absolutely non-sense! Everyone is siding to: Man, those liberals are nuts! Well, I have got some news for you, thats exactly what a right wing nut case

You've finally come around in one respect, in seeing that this is in fact a matter of opinion. However, your assertions on religion are still flawed. I don't take particular offense to this video, people are entitled to their opinion, I just believe this propaganda in itself is total garbage. As a former Muslim, and now Roman Catholic, (two of the most notoriously violent religions on the planet) I am very familiar with the Sacrifice of the Mass and the teaching of the Koran. Religion in itself is not a problem, or a source of violence, the opposite, in fact. People are violent, and religion will always be a channel for that at times. (The EXACT same as Nationalism, ambition, etc.) Look at WWII. It was nothing the Jews did, but nationalistic fervor and religious and economic notoriety of Jewish people (though those claims were bull) that caused the Nazi uprising. It isn't 'religion' persee, but its effectiveness as a channel for these emotions. Nationalism and other, lesser, diversions work the same way. I agree with you on religious propaganda. Religion is one of the most personal things on Earth, and throwing it in someones face usually fails to produce a whole-hearted embrace, or whatever. As a Catholic, we are taught to lead by example...You know that I'm sure, Catholics were never big on door to door stuff. I'm going to stay away from the abortion issue, which entails stem cell research, because that in my 'opinion' isn't a matter of opinion...but a matter of fact, and like you said, this whole string we are having is way off topic. Point in case, this was a stupid post by QJ. The implications visited in this video were far and away off the topic of video gaming, and more of a pseudo-intellectual rant by a liberal purpose-driven band. This discussion lacks relevance because this topic lacks relevance to video gaming. Sorry about any hard feelings that may have occured, and I apologize for anything that I said. Take it easy yall. You know, making comments like "This is child abuse" or even insinuating that this is child abuse is absolutely non-sense! Everyone is siding to: Man, those liberals are nuts! Well, I have got some news for you, thats exactly what a right wing nut case like Bill O'Reilly WANTS you to think. Did you notice how they never once took any stand on the actual comments themselves? It's because the only immediate defense they could muster was something 'obvious'. Here's the thing: How is this child abuse? In what fashion does it constitute child abuse? For one everything she said is absolutely correct! She's on the 'world stage' whereby she's citing the truth about how centuries of religious genocide have been committed. If you know anything about the world, then you should know that religion has been the catalyst, direct, or latent 'cause' (ie. WWII Jews-no it wasn't their fault!) of more tragedy then imaginable. Children mimic, learn directly or passively from adults, it's how they grow up. AND aside from that, she's an actress!! If you want to be a real about it then why don't you all march on Dakota Fannings parents house, because in her next movie she is raped. How's that for child abuse? Once again, avoid the real issues. True right wing republicans are crazy. Why do you think they dug out Wendy? She's an extremist! They knew about the strong reaction they'd receive. God people, don't you know that there's more than meets the eye?You know, making comments like "This is child abuse" or even insinuating that this is child abuse is absolutely non-sense!

Jeese... us... haha...

I was made to go to church, I know others who were too. I've known someone who was so absolutely indoctrinated by her parents she burned Disney products because her preist told her Disney supported homosexuality. Heaven forbid. Organised religion is CORRUPT because PEOPLE are corrupt. You religious types keep forgetting this little tiny fact about your precious Church; IT'S RUN BY HUMANS. God is infallable (unless he makes a rock too big for him to lift...) and possibly so is Jesus, though I never knew the guy and I hardly trust a 2,000 year old book to tell me so. MAN, however, is fallable. Man has ALWAYS been fallable. That you place so much of your "faith" in the hands of men is what disgusts me and so many of my fellows. You don't place faith in God, you place faith in men preaching to you. God gave us reason and logic, through these inherent tools we may know him. The aims of men are corrupt and mired in greed, they can not be trusted. To put faith in human kind to discover truth is to forever be blinded to it. And O'Reilly should be beaten with a fun noodle, but not in a fun way! Mwa ha ha... my evil tendencies brought about by playing Super Mario 64 so long ago begin to emerge... oh if only I had never punched those mushrooms!!! I'M SORRY GOOMBAS!!! GOD FORGIVE MY SUPPORTING HOMOSEXUALS AND GOOMBAS!!!!!!!! Arse.

If one were to believe.....

Its very simple........ Speculating on how we came to be here is at present pointless as most people on here are not Archeologists and dont have a clue what evidence is - even if it was shot down out of heaven by "god" him/her/its self. What is Proof? People need God as they are scared without an explanation. In reality this proves that - scared/stupid people need to believe that they are important and loved by the universe - not that they want a real "GOD" - its because they want to be "GOD" and exist forever. The most important thing to remember is that most mono-theistic religious people actually believe that either: 1/. Muhammed the shepard was actually talking to God all the time whilst he was conquering half the world, taking over and imposing his rule. Sensible people take a step back here - 1 guy in a tent getting relevations about the whole reason for being. You want to believe this? 2/. Jesus the carpenter was actually the SON of god, God incarnate - Christians believe this man had powers to heal and errr......destroy demons - you know the ones that we err....see all the time. He got killed by Romans - so then Disciples wrote some books about how he came back. Some people demand this be believed! All in all life is a crock - no one knows why we are here. People who claim to know more than others without proof are generally known in my circles as "Billy B*ll*****ters". It seems your exempt if your religious. You can just shout louder and get people scared.....

Inphuckingcredible.

To all the people condemning the parents for using their child to push their own agenda: ACTRESS - PERFORMING - FOR - MONEY. It's actually someone else's agenda, geniuses. Next - notice the disjointed editing of the video? There's a strong indication that she's performing the script in unordered fragments. We don't actually know that she knows what she's saying. Common technique in Hollywood when dealing with underage performers. Other than that, it was awesome, and quite tongue in cheek (my heart sinks when it sees people taking the South Park and Family Guy references seriously). As for the religion debate. Ha. Haha. Hahaha. There is no debate. Someone put it so beautifully up there in one of their comments. They said I'll take my child to church until they're of age and then they don't have to go back, their decision. All I could think was, that's *****ing nice of you, to give them the pretense of a choice once you've already spend the formative years of their life indoctrinating them, you effin' genius!
