I think the western viewpoint would typically be reflected in the title of the article.

"No, I'm pretty sure death is significantly more powerful than the fear of death."

Really? How do the Swiss feel about the one child policy in Switzerland? Is anyone getting punished for breaking it? And what's the name of the only political party there? Gosh, the things I didn't know about Switzerland.

I've just tried looking at this from a little less of a western viewpoint. Let's bear in mind that China is (or at least has been) a highly collectivist country compared to most other countries that we'll be living in.

The Tauren? Pandaria? How do they come up with these names?!

Terrorism is primarily about fear, and the threat to life that produces it, not the weapons used to cause it. This "prank" will have caused panic and could quite easily have stopped someone's heart.

No. People live in fear of being bombed and shot, and throwing firecrackers into a public place is highly exploitative of that.

Thanks for the dripping sarcasm, but terrorism isn't just about death - the fear of death is just as powerful and this prank is highly insensitive to that at best.

In an effort to make it sound like you know what you're talking about, you have exposed how little you know. While I wouldn't claim that this makes me qualified for being president of the planet earth, I'm a politics university graduate, and the first definition of terrorism that came up when I looked (since it helps…

It's close enough to terrorism for me. It's just for an even more selfish cause than the usual ones.

"Videogames don't affect children. If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music."

REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY FTW! ;)

That was beautiful. I know that thanks to crappy new Kinja most people will probably never read this comment - but this video put a big smile on my face when most videos posted lately have been really disappointing. Well done, Europe In 8 Bits, and thank you for helping to make my day.

This biscuit seems to be getting stale pretty fast.

I will give you a biscuit if you can find someone on the internet who cares or thinks you know what they need.

I agree. It was going for a particular tone but nothing actually happened. It was basically The Thing without any meat on the bones and the Half Life suit.
