Title: Whee!
Post by: Stryke 9 on March 05, 2003, 08:09:07 pm
Just the idea that this exists is hilarious. I suppose it shouldn't be, since it's basically a slightly nuttier take on the same thinking that inspired America's Army, but really

Also, since when did terrorist organizations have game-producer cells? Is EA really a terrorist group? So many questions.

KT: Apparently, THAT constitutional right doesn't apply on private property. Which would make sense, except that ****ing EVERYTHING is private property, except for certain roads in cities, and government buildings. You can't do a lot in government buildings, either.

CP: It says- Special Forces or something.



And seeing what nuclear1 regards as funny, I'll take that as a high compliment. Next time, I'll post the financial pages from the Wall Street Journal with the word "pie" written over them in big red letters, and he'll fall out of his chair laughing.

The truly ironic thing about roads/sidewalks is that 3 or 4 people that I know managed to get $50 tickets for just being on the sidewalk. Seriously...stoners make up more than 30% of the population in my school, and yet cops have nothing better to do than ticket random teenagers standing on the sidewalk (one was even walking).


(note: the charge was "obstructing the public right-of-way")

Was he Large, wearing loose fitting clothes, black/mexican/canadia/asain/french? Because that would explain half of it.

Lucky your friend doesn't live in LA.. prolly woulda shot the guy a good 15 times.

Probably not very. Politico games tend to suck.

Though I hear it's quite nasty in the dialogue, actually. It's likely in Arabic, so you wouldn't be able to tell, but yeech.

:lol:

he is rather white, and most of the time wears a yellow shirt and somewhat baggy pants, and a baseball style cap. He doesn't really look like the person that would do something. Also I live in a town of 50k people, so we don't have those sorts of problems with blacks/mexicans/canadians/asains/french...

About the game: Blah. Somehow I doubt it'll ever get to stores here. But hey, at least the world can now see the kind of (pardon me) propoganda they use on kids in schools and media. :doubt:





Pie.

EDIT: Hey, I kinda like that site - it's pretty funny! Look at this one: http://www.dailystar.com.lb/06_03_03/art23.asp

What's wrong with that picture? :D

You do have the right to free speach where ever you are. However on private land the owner has the right to throw you off of it. If he didn`t you could stand on George Bush's lawn and shout at him all day long. :D

Hmmm. I`ve been to that particular mall. Guess I`m feeling lucky that it was a couple of years ago.

Although the security guards were within their legal rights to throw the guy out it's not going to reflect well on the mall that they tossed out someone for wearing a T-shirt THAT HE BOUGHT THERE!

You`d think that the owner of the store might have something to say about that at the very least. I`d be surprised if the guards keep their jobs cause while what they did was legal it doesn`t really provide an atmosphere that would make people feel like shopping in that mall.

Even more evidence of the American government banging the wardrums in a vain attempt to whip the population into a battle frenzy...how pitiful.

Special Force was designed to compete against foreign computer games that show Arabs as enemies and Americans as the heroes that defeat them

Maybe I should point out that my post was not referring to the Special Force game, but that incident with the T-Shirt...:rolleyes:
