God Bless America
God Bless America, with the worst crime levels in the first world
God Bless America, where "democracy" means a rich, white male as President
God Bless America, the biggest consumer of the world's natural resources
God Bless America, so happy to violate international laws
God Bless America, where "freedom of speech" means race-hate groups like KKK
God Bless America, and its massive and ever-growing poverty gap
God Bless America, with barely 300 years of dire history and culture
God Bless America, all its appalling "sitcoms" with no grasp of irony
God Bless America, with the highest obesity levels in the developed world
God Bless America, because corporations should be allowed to run amok
God Bless America, wasting billions to attack foreign countries

God Bless America, and thank God I don't have to live there.

  Well, fuck their activities, indeed, but what about fighting for your rights ?

  I guess that's right. I mean if it's a choice between having the bombs dropped on you or dropping the bombs yourself, you're likely to choose the latter.

  I'm not sure if this qualifies as a genuine Duke game, but my favorite was always Shadow Warrior. Based on the same engine, created by the same designers, with the same gross kind of humor that I shamefully ejoy. However, in the "reality" of some weird Jackie Chan movie, this kind of humor seems just more appropriate than in the pseudo-sf scenery of "Duke Nuke'm".

Damn, you are the third one to mention WMD, and all three of you have been modded +5, Funny.
1. It's redundant. The article already gave dishonorable mention to the missing WMD.
2. It's not funny. It's actually a rather tired and obvious joke.
Please bitchslap all three posts with "Overrated" mods accordingly. Thank you.

I would use Dillo more often if Slashdot would just render moderately well in it. :)
