New video game allows players to recreate Kennedy Assassination |

Apologies if this is a repost: http://reuters.myway.com/article/20041121/2004-11-21T183727Z_01_N21636983_RTRIDST_0_NEWS-MEDIA-VIDEOGAMES-KENNEDY-DC.htmlNow all the conspiracy theorists on this board can try out their various scenarios. But don't hit Jackie by mistake, or you miss a turn.

4. Time to boycott Traffic games, and send this info out to friends/family. |
|
I could care less which political party this president came from.
Although those who created this game do care which party this president came from and that is why they created the game. To discriminate and to promote discrimination and hatred against those who are defined as "liberal" (a compliment by the way) and/or in the Democratic party.
Harmless fun? Of course, hahaha that is what they will imply. Its just profit you know. What if someone produced the same game for Ronald Reagan or another Republican? You think they'd just chuckle and say, oh gosh those Democrats are at it again those little pranksters.
Of course you know the answer.
This is immoral and evil. It also cuts to the core of pain and the void people experienced when JFK was shot in full view for all of America on November 22, 1963.
I have to say this hits an all time low. It is the most consciousless action conceivable, one that is devoid of any sense of care, thought, or concern for those who's lives were forever altered because of that day.
Save the technology excuse for those who willingly accept lies. They have a direct agenda that they will be marketing to young impressionable minds, and that is to essentially send a message that Democrats/liberals are targets for their practice. Call it for what it is. Threatening, hateful, Democratically targeted, and again, grossly immoral.

You bring up an amusing point.
Having lived almost all of my life in the NVA/DC Area, we had a solid conservative GOP congressman, Stan Parris represent the district until 1990, when Jim Moran beat him and to this day, still is doing so.
Though, I am a solid conservative first and while I disagreed with Rep. Moran on a lot things, he, for the most part, was a decent man. He also went through some personal tragedies that, for the most, he handled with dignity.
As for the spelling, well what do expect from a sign carrier that last bathed during the Carter and who thinks that the Clinton Legacy is a 3 letter word?

12. Whaaaa? "The Party that subsists on hate and fear?" |
|
I'm sorry. You have us confused with that person currently living in the White House. He's in charge of the party that subsists on hate and fear.
But thanks for the laugh.

Edited on Mon Nov-22-04 02:10 AM by Cooley Hurd
Have to admit, I missed that one. Personally, that is the absolute last thing I would ever want to see happen to your War Chimp - he needs to live long enough to be tried for war crimes at the Hague...:thumbsup:
Kerry's money? You have the nuts to bring up Kerry's money when the Bush family's fortune dwarfs that of Teresa Heinz Kerry. :eyes:
And they have no financial interests in the HJ Heinz Co. You should probably read up more than rely on Rush & Hannity for news...:eyes::eyes:

26. Was the book 'Checkpoint' or some such? |
|
Edited on Mon Nov-22-04 02:36 AM by kgfnally
Yes, I think I do remember that being discussed here, and I believe we came to the conclusion that it was obviously satire (the sequence with the helicopters dropping boulders was one sequence that sort of gave it away) and the thread quickly sank.
As for the play, I don't remember seeing anything about it. I must have missed that one.

To use Ewing's words, "we have nothing but respect", so why not make a game for him in his honor?

NsferatusCoffin says "Take care and make sure the truck does not hit you when you cross the street whilst cashing your AFDC check."
This douchebag's not even from the US. What, are the Repugs outsourcing trolls now, too?

35. I got out of work at 1AM |
|
I'm a postal worker. I serve my nation every single fucking day sorting and sending the written and secured items (yeah, deposits from businesses to their banks, SS checks and AOL disks and so forth) that keep our currently stumbling economy running.
No, I sometimes don't much like working there, mostly because of actions by individuals taken against employees as if they were adversaries. Point is, I directly help keep America working- and also directly- because it's my job- helped your mad cowboy get elected. And I'm NOT too proud of that.
I remained within the bounds of the law and my workplace and didn't trash your party's code-filled propaganda when it came through, and I still don't.
Yeah, keep laughing. My point is, I believe in this nation and the ideas on which it stands enough to know that I must allow such words to be spoken. That's one hell of a lot more than you and your ilk will ever be able to say or believe.
"Kerry will ban the Bible!" the campaign circulars boldly stated. And I just shook my head and sent the tray on its way, with those in it.
Because I believe in this country. Yet, from your side's cheerleaders in the press, I'm hearing words spoken like 'treason' and 'unAmerican'.
And by the way, Half-Life 2 is the best. FPS. Ever. Possibly the best PC game ever. Definitely a work of art by any standard; I simply can't say enough good things about this spectacular game. So there. :P Now go buy it.
Clinton? Um, try a newer hat. I could care less about Bill. I'm gonna just let him go his way.
"At Old Bill's Launch of his Massage Parlor and Used Car Shop, do you not think he looked like he had been ass-whipped by Hillary? Miss Madeline looked more sexually satisfied then he did." :shrug:
"Then again, I dobnt 5% of this board actually pays federal income taxes."
Oh, you oughta see my paycheck. Try a bit over $300 every couple weeks.
"Take care and make sure the truck does not hit you when you cross the street whilst cashing your AFDC check."
Quite a few poor people voted for * this time around. Why are you now dissing a part of the base?

36. Lol! I've probably paid more income taxes in five years than that |

Edited on Mon Nov-22-04 03:52 AM by Lorien
basement dweller ever paid in his life! But when I wrote those massive checks on April 15th, I did so cheerfully, because I WANTED to give back to the country that allowed me to make a six figure income in the first place. That's called being a PATRIOT, coffin!
Now that BushCo has succeeded in destroying our economy, my paycheck is about where my tax bill used to be. Maybe our trolling friend will be next? Karma can be a bitch, you know.
