When do you introduce violence to a kid?

I was watching this video speech of Marilyn Manson and I wanted to share some thoughts with you guys...



I think he makes nice remarks, it made me think about how will I raise my kinds, it's kind of hard to try to teach someone... When do you know it's the right time to introduce to sex? violence? murders? deaths? drugs? all those things kind of are hidden from lots of kids because of their parents, then they hear it on the news, listen to friends, learn it on the street... Since the day they are born? I don't think so.. you don't want to kill a kids innocence, but then when?

I don't blame music for anything, I'm a rocker/metalhead/headbanger whatever you call it, I listen to all sorts of death, black, heavy metal bands and many of those bands lyrics are nasty but that doesn't mean I'll go and do what they say, I like the music, that's it, and the lyrics fit the music, you can't have pop lyrics on a cannibal corpse song, wtf... It's the way the kid is raised, the enviorment, the friends, the family and all that together what makes the listener think for themselves and to have a good point of view on what's right and wrong. But what's right or wrong? Well I guess you have to go with feelings 'cause it changes from person to person, I guess the common good is - don't hurt people.

Live and let live, help out each other... We all still have a long way to go to become the perfect world I guess we all dream about.

Peace.

My new journey: Coding for Half life 2

Well, I'll try to post things about my learning process, this might provably help some new comers to the Half Life 2 coding.

First I had a fun time searching for the SDK, turns out, it is available on Steam so this differs on how half life 1 was, which created a little difficulty for me trying to find it... Especially since I get frustrated when something I think it's simple is not the first link that comes up on google when I search for it :)

Anyway... Follow the instructions here: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SDK_Installation
Pretty much just download the SDK and install it... I'm almost possitive 100% is the SDK and not SDK base... I think according to this link http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_SDK_Base
That it's pretty much using the latest SDK for your mod but I don't know if they mean it hasn't been tested through or if it's like a beta stage... I don't think I should care about that too much at this point so...

On other news: I graduated for my Master's degree in Computer Information Systems - personal hi 5. And now I'm looking for a job, and pretty much that's why I'm coding now, I think I can learn this, it's hard but giving up without even trying is not what you are supposed to do according to movies :)

Best of luck to all of you new comers to coding, including myself :)

I'll keep updating, provably not all the time 'cause it might be boring, but I'll do my best, that way I can keep track of what I've done too XD
