Oh no....it`s only fair to kill "terrorist" who are defending themselves from foreign invaders. Didn`t anyone on cnn or fox news ever tell you that?

yeah it had to be the game. im sure it had nothing to do with education system that barly qualifies as above third world. or parents that dont give a damn about there kids. or being born into a life poverty with very little chance of getting out despite what the naysayers say. no it has to be a VIDEO GAME dont it?

Simple solution...
If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Perhaps I over-simplified.... You're a little off target on the education part, but teacher tenure has certainly diminished the education that our children get.. You do, however, hit it right on the head with the total lack of moral up-bringing that more and more kids get nowadays. As I type this, I am listening to the neighbor next door dropping the f bomb around, and AT their 3 year old....here comes another kid that will grow up to emulate his parents, showing a total lack of respect or concern for those around him. There aren't many words that I haven't heard or used, but never in mixed company.....that has changed to the point that the girls mouths are often as bad if not worse than the guys...how is that an okay thing? Kids learn by example; good example set, and in MOST cases, not all, a good child results..... Poor example set, and in MOST cases, not all, the result will be a bad child.

Video Games Are The Devil!! SO is the internet. We are all doomed!

Is it still politically correct to play Cowboys and Indians?

How is this new? Hell, the game RISK had people plugging US forces.

As did Axis and Allies and You Sunk my Battleship and many more games even the old tried and true Green Army Men. This is just another blame game...That is America which is sad. Everything has to be someone's fault...just not your own! Responsibility is a fading word.

The saddest part is some "News Agency" considered this as worth reporting on. Any thing for a buck!
