Seven Arrested After Protesting Army Video Game Recruiting Center 433
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."

What now, Bibles or no porn? Or did they censor the parts where the people in the Bible fucked like rabbits (or was it with them?)?

is possible for people to believe Bush did not do enough and did too little at the same time
You are saying it is possible to believe in A ("did not do enough") and again in A ("did too little") simultaneously?
Yeah, right. Put the crack pipe down.
