The Geneva Convention?

This article made me laugh.

To the uninitiated, this kid wanted to play Call of Duty: World at War, but his father first made him read the four Geneva Conventions, then agree to play by those rules.

It's a very interesting twist.

Nothing wrong with a little bit of understanding history. Frankly, I think a lot of people would benefit from a good reading of the Geneva Convention, especially a certain part of it.

And I happily declare I ignored the Geneva Convention while playing the game.

I didn't say that reading the Geneva Conventions was wrong. It's actually a pretty good idea the father had.

And lemme guess... you're thinking about the part about POWs?

Article 4.1.2 of the Third Geneva Convention. It seems to be the one part people don't want to acknowledge.
