Google Maps Meets Carmen Sandiego

Posted by Zonk on from the they-go-from-nashville-to-norway-down-there-to-zimbabwe dept.

Craig Miller writes "What better way to end the weekend than by playing a game of Brewster Jennings Protects America? This new game is a Google Maps mashup with the classic 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego' style of game. Run around the world trying to stop a terrorist from carrying an attack. Pretty amusing game and it shows what you can do with the Google Maps API and a little imagination." Despite the jingoistic title and concept it's a lot of fun, and quite challenging on hard.

    Even granting your assumption that the US Government deliberately attacked Iraq, your comparison is completely groundless.

    America has never expressed a desire to eliminate an entire way of life or people.

    Radical Islam explictly states their desire to wipe Isreal off the map and continue the genocide of the Jews. This is in addition to destorying the West, because the West is "decadent", in that we allow women to show their faces, for example.

    In other words:

    You're an idiot.

    I am pretty sure America was very big on Eliminating all traces of Communisn from the world in the last half centuary.

    Don't be an ignorant twat. "Eliminating communism" and "killing all the communists" are two very different concepts. The US NEVER advocated killing all the communists. Islamic "representatives" have consistently and repeatedly stated that they will not stop until all of the "infidels"(their preferred word for Jews, Americans, and anyone that does not subscribe to their extremist point of view) are dead.

    Why don't you take you grade school arguments home and try to refine them a bit. Perhaps you could come back and offer something to the debate in 15 or 20 years. In other words, grow up!

    Can we play where in the world are the Bush White House ethics? (Hint, look up Halliburton.)
