We live in a very reactionary society, and generally many people's reactions (when they finally happen) are out of proportion to the real problem. A lot of video games have been distastefully violent, crass and/or sexual for a while now, and even though this particular example might be more extreme than others, it's really no more … Censorship 14 Years Ago by Salem Not only does bugger all get done about students posting crappy "do my homework NOW" posts.

The game is an insult to every American who died in wartime.

I'll also confess that, while I normally play the part of a G.I. in video games, I've occasionally played on the Nazi side. Playing for the Taliban side seems a bit too far for me to go (I guess it's just too current and hence too real), but really, what's … Re: U.S. Military Bans Medal of Honor's Sale From Its Bases--Has Censorship Gone Too Far? 13 Years Ago by Glass_Joe I wholeheartedly disagree with you, Dragon. My point wasn't that the military doesn't have the right to ban this game. It was that men and women in the armed forces are dying for our freedoms of choice when they aren't even afforded any for themselves. Now they're going to intervene with which forms of entertainment media our soldiers choose to… Re: U.S. Military Bans Medal of Honor's Sale From Its Bases--Has Censorship Gone Too Far? 13 Years Ago by tiger86 I am so glad Ancient Dragon was here to defend those who serve and have served in the military.
