Time To Boycott EA games?

Ah yes, you act like a child that abhore veggies out of irrationallity, not because of some intelligent refusal.

It seems you are overly sensetive, in short ..hysteric.

Rational based people can shoot whomever they want in computer games, and make a distinction, they shoot without prejudism as they precive the enemy as mere graphic, and not as a real person, which seems you can't.

I'v played a computer game called Age of Kings, there was a girl who refused to kill a sheep, which is clearly lack of rationallity, it's only a digital life form, not a real life form, it's people who clearly lack rational thinking that will display such behaviour.

I am no noob to games but I also have boundaries and WAY too much respect for our men and women in arms to deface their service and commitment by playing against them as the ******* Taliban. So are you going to stone pregnant women accused of adultery and lob grenades

And once more you had posted that you are happy that the game is now slightly harder for the very men and women you are claiming to respect to buy???????

Your position of protecting the feelings of the troops by stopping the same troops from buying and playing the game is insane on it face.

You act as if this game is a military persons only desire in life. This is where your premise is misguided. Don't you think a military persons' life is filled with more pressing matters than playing the Taliban who wants them dead? They have nightmares of their mortal enemy and you act as if there is a secret love affair going on. Kinda twisted if you ask me. I expect our military has their priorities in better line than you do.

What does any of the above have to do with the PR move you had posted you are happy with baning this game being sold on bases PS?

If you have all this respect for the feelings of the troops when the fact that this game is selling well to them on their bases seem to indicate they as a group have no problem with this game.

So who feelings are you protecting here?

what i don't get is why anybody would want to play as the taliban, if the weaponry is realistic, the allies outgun the taliban ten ways to sunday, sure the taliban fight dirty but that's as much do the restraints of the american military as anything aelse, something that won't hold true in the game, anyone playing as an american soldier could just destroy every vehicle and shoot any civilian with his superior fire power, in a one on one fight where the american soldiers didn't have to hold back, it would be a turkey shoot

Do you think playing the Taliban is respectful to our troops? It is banned out of respect to the troops not to cause them any difficulty in getting the game.

So it does not matter one little bit what the soldiers think or feel it your opinions and people of like mind that matter.

If the soldiers do not have a problem with the game that is beside the point they should have a problem with the game.

“It’s a form of entertainment,” said Sgt. Danny Waynes, 28, who served in Iraq. “I think it’s wrong to blatantly censor something, whether it be a book, a movie or a video game.”

Last year that rule was challenged on at least two fronts. In November, Activision released Return to Castle Wolfenstein, a game in which players take the role of a United States soldier on a mission ''to thwart Heinrich Himmler's occult and genetic experiments.'' The multiplayer version, which pits players against one another online, allows some players to fight as German soldiers.

And even before Return to Castle Wolfenstein, another realistic first-person shooter with a Nazi protagonist was making a stir: Day of Defeat, which was released for online play last January.

OK you do not think that it matter what our men and women in the military think only your opinion that count about showing them respect.

I think Grand Theft Auto is a repulsive video game with its allowing of rape and murder of prostitutes as well as carjacking and murder and other senseless killings but I'm not going to burn down the Rockstar Games headquarters and lynch the company executives in order to censor their free speech, no matter how contemptible it its to my sensibilities.
