I find it funny there are people who complain that the U.S. military is using video games to recruit children into the army. Because up here in Canada we have a Department of Defence funded organization called Cadets ( http://www.cadets.ca ). Kids between the ages of 12 to 18 can join the Royal Canadian Army Cadets, Sea Cadets, or Air Cadets and take part in military training.

"I still find it funny how groups like this love to throw around their message in the face recruiters and tell them to stop their practices under the guise of free speech. It is like the idea that the Army is also entitled to freedom of speech and expression is a completely alien notion to these people.

Oh gaaa.... sure it might be propaganda...bu the miltary has always used media to advertise in form or another if you don;t want them advertising then you face a darft.....frankly non combat 1-5 year subsciption would do this country some good.... nothing but mindless PC nazis who think peace can support peace infentily.........

I can see both sides of the issue. the fact that any advertising can create an idealized (and therfore a little false) setting is something to be wary about, but on the other hand, it probably has truly inspired some to check the army out.

Personally, armed service isn't for me, but i appreciate what they do and agree that the army should put out some type of ad for those who do have an interest.

I tried to join the airforce after highschool... they didn't want me. Recruiter told me it was because I was on an anti-depressant. *shrug*

I wouldn't be suprised if their recruiting standards have fallen in the past few years though...

Hey, if some just graduated 18 year old wants to join the Army because he thought a game was cool, I have no problem with that.  It's a lame reason to join the military, but whatever.  It's their choice at that point.  And it's not much different than coaxing poor teens with promises of college education.

What?  Is the military supposed to stop all recruitment altogther?  Or are they just supposed to point out the part about visiting hostile locations and getting shot at?  Because I don't think many people would sign up if all you told them about was the high mortality rate.

I wonder if it is a sign that the pedophile scare is finally comming to an end when any unrelated group feels it can make it's case by comparing whatever they don't like to pedophillia.

I think we are seeing a lesser version of godwin's law panning out ^_^

Ya its been that was for a while seems like, to drum up support they link whatever they dislike with child molestation. I don't see the link between the "p" word and what the military is doing. Stupid bullshit drummed up by dumbshit people. We have JROTC in high school and such, whats the difference. So the military is trying to recruit, newsflash, they've always recruited and promised all kinds of stuff to get people to join. I've heard people say dumb crap like "I only joined for the college money, i don't wanna go to war!" well then don't join, cause you might go to war. I grew up as a military kid so I knew already of what life was like in the military. The military is necessary though and they should be allowed plenty of space to recruit. No matter how safe people may think the US is, we are only that safe becuase of military might. Even in this day and age there are no garauntees on respect of sovereignty, just look at what russian tried with georgia. If we let our military fall apart it would be a safe bet that of the many nations that have governments that hate us, someone would try something and our 'friends' may just let us get our ass whooped for a while before doing anything.

Lets keep in mind past event don't always sway the future decisions of nations. If you recall we saved China's ass back in WW2 when it was getting hammered by the japanese and yet we don't exactly have the best of relations with them now, I doubt they would return that favor any time soon.

Anyways, I think these people are full of crap :P  Seriously, "war is hell, don't enlist" ya if everyone followed that advice we would have no army at all, and then what will happen?  "veterans for peace" sounds like a bunch of drafted hippies.

I'm all for freedom of ttnet vitamin speech and allowing rent a car game makers to put whatever they want in games, but there's one thing about this app that has me scratching my head.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but from araç kiralama the previous article araba kiralama on this I gathered that players can use Google maps in-game to find the other (real-life?) dealers in their area.  If this is the case, has travesti anyone considered what's stopping someone from using this app to actually move drugs between hands for reals?

But majority araba kiralama of their outrage araç kiralama stems from what it could DO TO children, not the content itself.  Talk to one of these people and you'll find they don't think any books kiralık araba should be banned from children.  Mention American Psycho and they talk about kiralık araç the redeeming value of using imagination to construct a story.  Reading, no matter what the content, is largely viewed as a consequenceless activity for people of any age.  The reason why I mention American Psycho is because of the content itself.  Gaming never has and likely never will have any scenes where someone has sex with a severed head.  Not gonna happen.  Yet despite this, they'll fight tooth and nail to protect their children from two boys kissing in Bully but whatever they read is harmless... yeah.

The entire arguement is kiralık oto based upon a social normality inflicted by luddites who can't figure out the controls for Halo so it's frightening and terrifying and obviously the cause of youth violence on the rise even though, in reality, it's in decline (which is actually a HUGE suprise given minibüs kiralama the economies status).  In  a perfect world, we would have parents that actually parent.  The idea of sales restrictions on media on oto kiralama any form to accomidate parental unwillingness to get involved with their child's life is the real problem to me.  Here I am, 32 years old, and being held up at a self-scan rent a car needing to show ID before I can buy a $10 M rated game all because Soccer Momthra can't be bothered to look at the crap Billy Genericallystupidson does in his free time.  It's too hard for her, so I have to suffer?
