when I read the post above yours, I also thought about the "intent" as you call it, that there are at least military targets in one of the scenarios...
But you're post is still too naive, yes there is that level... But perhaps the reason they suicide bomb civilians is not that they are crazed and pure evil, but that they can't do military strikes against Israeli leaders like Israel does to them, mostly because they haven't been funded tons of military money like Israel has from the U.S...
There are layers upon layers for everything.
Ummm.. because you are not doing the updating, that is why "have been updated" or "got updated" is more correct, the active voice would be It updated me, because that way in all cases the subject, I, is the direct object.
(No i don't use perfect spelling or grammar or usually correct people, but if you are going to criticize, i suppose it's only fair).
You make me laugh!
You obviously haven't seen War of the Worlds, or you would know that a little advice from Tom Cruise and you could fix your car post-EMP in a matter of minutes, so the majority of the cars could fixed in a couple hours I would guess.
I for one am disappointed in the "new features" because although the add content sidebar is flashy and all, I don't change my content much so it is a bit unnecessary. On the other hand, they made a click on an e-mail from your gmail a new window now instead of same window, which I don't like, a decision that could have been remedied if the "Inbox" link once reading an e-mail in the new window took you to your inbox in the same window, but no, they left it as making another new window.... so many new windows... and/. is a place where i need not keep complaining about windows, people have done enough of that for everyone.
GTA, which although it is disgusting in my opinion, is also harmless because it is meant to be, and is understood to be an absurd view of the world.
While I don't want to argue about whether GTA is completely evil, I think harmless might be going to far, simply because from the outside you can understand it as an absurd view, doesn't mean those who play it for 60 hours still do..see the recent news article where 2 guys got acquitted from a crime where they killed a guy doing an e-brake skid because it was shown they were trying to mimic the things they learned in GTA.
I would agree that this does seem to be a form of escapism. Being a Christian, and also somebody who has played a large variety of games, I do not see the video gaming world as being inherently satanic.
In fact I feel that the vast majority of games are relatively harmless, and the greatest harm it can do to Christians is not in the content but in the possiblity that kids will become obsessed with and immersed in video games at an unhealthy level, which I think is something that parents should be watching out for, whether they are Christians or not.
I find creating games like this is not really helping anyone because only the fanatically conservative would buy something like this, and cheesy stuff like this is the kind of fodder that the secular world loves to throw in our faces (see most of the posts on this topic).
