US Military bans video game that 'kills' US troops

Ice T proves this wrong.

 

I never heard about this?

 

Ice T is a rapper, he had a group called Body Count.
They made a song called Cop Killer/Killa.
It raised enough ruckus to cause it to either be pulled, or heavily censored.
The cops ate doughnuts, and Ice T got free PR.

End-
Fin-
Frugal-

 

I know who Ice T is, I just didnt know what had happened. I either thought he promoted censorship or he was the target of it.

 

Germany did the same thing with Wolfenstein, but it was banned in the whole country.

I'm perfectly fine with this decision to not sell it on military bases

 

Germany does that with a lot of games. Any game that has Nazis in it is ban and anything with a gratuitous amount of violence gets banned (see: Gears Of War).

 

They have the liberty of doing so, but the principle freaking stinks.
So, War games are fine except if they kill USA? What the flying ****

 

I'm not saying at all that the taliban are good guys. The leaders of taliban armies are the real scum. The armies themselves are often forced to fight or die. Think about the poor folks there that get dragged into it. You get up, someone puts a gun to your face, and makes you either convert to islam (if you weren't already) and join their death army or die on the spot. Great choices, huh?

What I'm trying to show here is that if the game got a *PC* release in the U.S. the Taliban might be weakened and made stupid-looking and the american soldier might be be much more handsome, brave, strong and intelligent than what an average one is, in order to promote patriotism. It seems made up, but a lot more crazy shit has happened in "americanization".

One example is famed "manga god" Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy. One episode showed a dog being operated on and parts of it being removed and carted out. This got taken out from the U.S. version...only because of the rumor of Japanese people eating dogs that was spread in England and passed through to the U.S. during WWII to get people pissed at the Japanese, among others. (it is claimed that it was because of the operation being grotesque, but come on. You know what they were thinking.)

See how patriotism ends up being really stupid in the end?

*Politically correct, not PC as in computers



TL;DR: No, I don't think talibans are nice peeps.

 

Geeah and also the FBI tried to intimidate and censure Eric Lynn Wright (Eazy-E) and the N.W.A. (NIggaz With Attitudes) back in 1988 for their music called "Fuck Tha Police" in the album STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON (Geez I love this one, I heard it back in the days when uses Tapes instead of cds and thing).

 

You have to look at it from Afghanistans point of view too, its their religion and what they believe in but we just came in and overthrew the government because we wanted a democracy there instead.
Im pretty sure were the bad guys over there.
And don't believe everything you hear or read in the papers about them either.

 

I discussed stuff like that in my last year in the school in Geography politics, which make you think by the facts, not from what some people told us.
Also some books lies, and so the governament, that made people write 'em.
For the arabs, they're right and the americans are the vilains, I see it's a point of view, a ignorance from both side that don't enter on an agreement to try save lives and avoid more conflicts.

 

Its a pity most people can't see both sides.
People only see what they want to sometimes, blinded by patriotism, newspapers or from my own experience, they believe what their parents say no matter what.
If the Afghan people hated it that bad there would have been a civil war.
Which brings me on to my next point, what about the countries with ongoing civil wars? oh yeah, no oil or political benefit to the US.

 

That's a true, with a civil war going on, Uncle Sam go and "support" these countries, just with the excuse to have their black oil.
If the other countries kinda enter on a agreement (which is politically impossible now) to not fight each other, the Uncle Sam woudn't have oil resource.
So when the citizen pay for their gasoline, they're paying for something that a soldier died for, but he died for thinking into other thing, as terrorism and thing.

 

Well from my own experience the lads out there fighting believe in what they are fighting for, they just want to finish it and go home.
They would be devastated to just walk away now, they want it won right or wrong.
