Is this lieing?

[stan1980]

Woo! You are learning, grasshopper

Just deal with that its/it's thing you've got going on sometimes and you'll be well on the way to fully-fledged pedantry Welcome to the club!

I've been learning off you!! You're a bad, bad influence

I feel quite dirty actually. I was going to delete the post, but I couldn't think of anything to put in it's place that hadn't already been said

It's nothing to be ashamed of! Of course, you may lose a few friends, be rejected by your family, be made mysteriously redundant, &c., but think what Jesus had to put up with!

Haha, well it sounds like a small price to pay for the greater good!

It is a lie. But seriously, who really cares?

 

[Mling]

Some of the "You must be 18 years old or older" statements also have an "Or have your parents' permission" clause.

If that's the case, then you're not. If that's not the case then, yeah, you're lying to random people who may be half a world away, but being honest with your parents. So, in the big scheme of things...

Play on.

Yeah, that. its not like the site is going to send the mob after you or anything. its a legal disclaimer.

 

[stan1980]

Normally it says tick this box if you have you read and understood the terms and conditions... For the people who say you shouldn't lie, i assume you always read the ToCs before ticking the box? No? Oh dear.

I've always wondered about the possibility of Microsoft or Apple putting something in their terms of service stating:

"You also agree that all your worldly possessions will become the sole property of <company name>." I wonder if they could legally get away with it?

On a game i play on the terms and agreements it says Only 18 years or older can accept this i am under 18. My parents have said i can play so if i click it is that lieing?

If it is worded in such a way that a parent can accept the terms and allow another to play then fine (like you have it worded). If it is worded in a way that indicates that you cannot play unless you are 18 then it is a lie.

Incidentally, it's a legal agreement so that the people running the site can cover their own arses. Basically the idea is that if you sue them because you were horribly disturbed by the content of their site, they can point to the terms and conditions and say that you ticked the box so it's not their fault because they warned you. The worst that can happen is that you lose your opportunity to sue the site. Other than that, no one suffers from your little lie.

...What game are you playing?

There just is no such thing as a good lie. No where in the bible does it say it is ok to tell a lie. Or this lie isn't a bad one because it isn't on the same level.

I love the way UK english words get through the filter. It's all a load of bollocks really.

Bullocks? I say it's rather bloody brilliant!

Look at the terms closely. Generally it says "under 18 or with the permission of a parent or guardian." So usually as long as the parents ok it you can go ahead and play the game.

It says
Acceptance of agreement. This Agreement can be accepted only by an adult 18 years or older. By clicking the accept button, you affirm that you are 18 years old and you are accepting this agreement on your own behalf or on behalf of your minor child (under 18) So do i have to get someone over 18 to click the button every time i play?

oh......

 

[JoshIcedogs]

So if i click Yes and if i am under 18 is this a sin?

No- The person over 18 is accepting it- if it makes you feels better have your parents click through
