    Um, sorry to burst your bubble there, but CoH has over 200K subscribers. There are about 10 servers, and anecdotally, above 200 active per average hour.

    You have obviously not been at Slashdot long. 'Flamery' is 90% of what goes on. Seriously, though.
    A lie of omission is not the same as a lie of commission, regardless of what the Catholic Church wants you to believe. Not telling you that people will yell at you and make you dispair is not the same as telling you everything is flowers and butterflies.
    Don't be foolish. The ONE thing that recruiters uniformly do tell you is that you a signing some very serious documents - documents that actually hold you liable to an entierly different set of laws, laws that make not ironing your uniform a federal crime. You swear an oath to obey the orders of the president (no matter how foolish and warmongering a man he may be) and the officers appointed by him (no matter how overly concerned they are for their own careers).
    And while the life is not for everyone, and the dangers very much real, the benifits are very real too. I am enjoying many of those benifits now.

    Look, you idiot. No one is being 'tricked' into being blown up. I doubt there's an eligible 18y/o in the country that doesn't know that people are dying left and right.
    And since you have never been to a recruiter, let me clue you in: They may leave information out, but vary rarely will they lie to you. Because if they lie, the recruit will quit, and they won't get credit for the recruit.

  4. Cars that can't crash? on Cars that Can't Crash? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Right. Because MS has such a good track record preventing things from crashing . . . (FP woohoo!)
