Y'know
Whenever I see these totalitarian ideas, I wonder if it wouldn't actually be better to support terrorists I'm not condoning terrorism, but should we condone the stripping of liberties and rights? are at a certain point the fanatic nutcases a 'lesser evil' that those who claim to 'protect' us? Will at some point every nation/the world have its own Bin Laden, heralded by the common folk, despised by their governments? Robin Hoods 2.0? You don't have anything to fear if you do nothing wrong" ...u-hu, yeh, and WHO's gonna define what's right or wrong? You, me? Or the people that don't like you criticizing their 'effort' for a 'safer' place to let your children ("For God's sake, think about the children!" ) grow up in? The comment about going into space is actually a very good one Remember the "Land of the Free" was colonized by people trying to get away from the totalitarian "Old World"

Keep in mind: what you may not call a democratic government, they themselves probably think otherwise Quote:
"Freedom Fighters" and "Democratic Governments" trying to take out eachother's supporters And I'm using quotation marks to point out that both will believe 'they themselves' are the good guys Those that become the victim of one will start to support the other

I means if the UK or US government starts to gun down its people now, we will all put our hand up and claiming that "clearly they were not democratic all along" On another note, what gonna happen to Counter Strike then? They gonna replace 'terrorists' side by 'clowns' and 'bomb setting missions' by 'children molestation' or something?

Oh, playing as virtual terrorists in a video game encourages people to become terrorists themselves.
To be fair, it says "video games developed by terrorist organizations"... but terrorist organizations don't develop video games. They're called terrorist organizations for a reason. Who are the intellectually challenged individuals who came up with this intellectually challenged material?

Depends what one considers a "terrorist orginization" now doesn't it?
A terrorist group could spend its days hacking computers to "terrorize" citizens and governments. It could create computer viruses to cripple enemy infrustructures. Not every terrorist runs around with an AK-47 and a RPG-7 shouting "death to America".

Developing video games as a form of terrorism would just be a waste of time.
