I have to practice thread abandonment, since it's my bedtime (working Sat. mornings sucks!).
But, I noticed, they showed detainees, torture of detainees, insurgents, a puppet of a President who is easily manipulated, and suicide bombers (including ones who are recent recruits in the new police). All of this seemed eerily familiar.
So...question: Is it a good thing or a bad thing, considering the target audience, to show these kinds of practices in war-time...on a popular TV show? Something to think about, I guess.
Good night.

5. insurgency, suicide bombers, occupiers pretending to do favors... |
|
nah, that's not like Iraq is it?
I was just stunned.
It's been a good show from the beginning, and they just kicked it up a couple of notches.

6. Well, I guess that *was* an obvious question. |
|
I was wondering, though...will it further desensitize today's youth? Or, am I just worrying too much?

7. today's youth desensitized by ho-stomping video games |

this actual makes you think about those things that we just condemn in a kneejerk way when someone else does them.
