Seven Arrested After Protesting Army Video Game Recruiting Center
GamePolitics writes "Seven anti-war protesters were arrested in Philadelphia on Saturday during a protest rally and march which targeted the Army Experience Center, a high-tech recruitment center which uses PC and Xbox games and simulations to attract potential recruits. GamePolitics was on hand to cover the protest, and took video of the arrests. A local news station also reported on the rally, and the Peace Action Network released a statement saying, "In its desperate approach to meet recruiting numbers, the military is teaching the wrong values to teenagers. Sugarcoating combat experience with virtual war is a dishonor to those with real war experience."
We don't need your kind exploiting our genuine(tm) freedoms so you can boast your anti-American soapbox in our country when such is not allowed in your own. Err, you're an American oh sor$% I mean shut your mouth you armchair US'ian! Fat ass people like you can't argue facts(tm) without insulting someone of their physical and mental limitations. Go back to, er#$) San Francisco where you are all backwards! And you can quote me!
Truth in advertising should be much more prevalent and mandatory when we're dealing with the worst of all things, war.
But then only idiots and psychos would want to go to war. Oh, wait a sec....
How is my post above offtopic? And the GP is overrated? Is the NSA modding this page?
I do mostly blame the Military Academy, but this "Kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out." culture seems quite pervasive in the military culture. The motto/battle cry sums up the suicide bombers' philosophy quite well.
A recruitment office is not private property, it is government property. So simple a dipshit should get it.
Some people protested and got arrested!!1one!!! The end of the world is near! Democracy is falling and we are all going to die!!!one!1! Kill all authority figures!!11!one!11!
There was that enough misplaced and misused fear and outrage for you? I hope so because that is all you are going to get.
Why the fuck did this make it on to Slashdot?
There is no "-1 offended" or "-1 you don't agree with me" mod options for a reason.
