"Just say no." A hunger strike might actually bring him to appreciate life and it's value.

What has he done to be productive with his life? He should be planning to be a citizen worthy of the air he breaths. What is he going to give back to Norway when he completes his sentence. He needs to sincerely reform rather than writing to former acquaintances, playing video games and demanding comforts those young people no longer enjoy.

Does he write about his self reflection and the regret for causing a nation such grief? Where are his pleadings for forgiveness? What does he write that gives parents solace of their loss. His loss of freedom seems to annoy him, but, he needs to do more to prove he is suffering for his acts of violence in a country so intent on peace and the appreciation of life. Does he know how to be a Norwegian? It doesn't seem like it. 

He shows no remorse. Why should he receive greater freedoms and comforts if he has not reflected on his acts and finds remorse for them? 

He needs to know the world is judging him and at least one other person isn't happy with his lack of repentance.

Oslo: Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik (click here) has threatened to go on hunger strike for better video games to alleviate his "torture"-like living conditions, in a letter to prison authorities.

The right-wing extremist - who killed 77 people in a bomb and gun attack on July 22, 2011 - enclosed a typed list of 12 demands sent to prison authorities in November.

He described as "torture"-like his living conditions, in the high-security unit in Skien in southeast Norway where he serving out a 21-year sentence.

The demands include better conditions for his daily walk and the right to communicate more freely with the outside world, which he argues are in line with European rights legislation.

He also demanded that his PlayStation 2 games console be upgraded to a Playstation 3 "with access to more adult games that I get to choose myself".
Held apart from other prisoners since 2011 for security reasons, Breivik argues that he has the right to a wider "selection of activities" than other inmates to compensate for his strict isolation.

Breivik also wants his standard weekly allowance of 300 kroner ($A55) to be doubled, particularly to cover his postal charges from written correspondence.
Other demands include an end to daily physical searches, and access to a PC rather than to a "worthless typewriter with technology dating back to 1873"....
