Video Game

Have you heard about the video game they're putting out where you can be the terrorist killing other people (I didn't catch the name)?  I think it's disgusting.  My husband thought I was joking when I told him.  I think they ought to ban it.  Terrorists have bombed our naval vessels (USS Cole, I believe), the WTC garage, flew planes into the WTC towers and have done countless other things against us.  And some ________ (we're not allowed to swear so I'm leaving a blank) comes out with a video game where you get to play the terrorist who kills Americans and others?  As if we don't have enough problems with al-Qaeda recruiting Americans? 

What is this world coming to?  I think I'd feel a tad different if it were Americans killing terrorists instead.  Sure, it's still a violent video game but I just don't buy into that whole "kids/people kill because they see/saw too much violence on TV and video games" mentality.  I saw enough violence growing up in cartoons and other shows.  I was also taught very well by my parents not to harm anyone.  It falls on the parents to teach the kids what's right, IMO.   I don't agree with the whole "It takes a village" thing.  Look at what our villages teach our kids.  I truly feel for single parents.  It must be one heck of a struggle for them but the majority of them are great parents.  Then you get the ones who pop out babies and smoke crack and the kids are running the streets.  It's very very sad.

Harumph.  That game is a disgrace to all our men and women who are fighting wars, all our fallen soldiers.  It's sad.  Anything to make a buck.
