"We wanted to show there isn't any way to win against terrorism..."

Spoken like a true Frenchman.

What a pathetic excuse for a human being.

there isn't any way to win against terrorism. Because it doesn't matter how many planes you shoot. There are always new planes

I guess the French way of fighting terrorism would be shooting the planes the terrorsts hijack. The American way is to shoot the terrorists before they get near any planes. There may always be new planes, but there is a finite number of terrorists.

"After the attacks, we felt there was nothing we could do. But with the game, you could pretend to defend the World Trade Center," he said.

Yet he also said the game represented another philosophy - which would seem to undercut that stated purpose.

"We wanted to show there isn't any way to win against terrorism. Because it doesn't matter how many planes you shoot. There are always new planes," he said.

I hope you die alone in an unairconditioned room.

They just showed the game on WPIX. I'm disgusted.

Supposedly they will be getting local opinions about it later in the program. I guess I'll have to prepare myself to hear that it sends a powerful message about the futility of the war on terrorist...

I love how a Flash video game - in a foreign language, available for free in seconds to anyone with an Internet connection - is so coldly used by these freedom-bashing politicians for their own ends even though their bills wouldn't stop such an online game from being available at all. What they're doing is almost as crass as the actions of the video game makes themselves.

Whatever happened to PARENTS deciding what their kids should play with, anyway?

The game, New York Defender, was launched on the French Web site...

What a surprise

[mhking]

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[King Prout]

oh. "missile defense" with planes instead of incoming MIRVs.
*yawn*

I am sitting here trying to remember if I cried during 9/11. I can't remember. I was numb and my memories were numb. I don't remember crying during the memorials either. I mostly remember a numb, tingly, surreal feeling emcompassing me. I know I didn't cry when I had John's daughter on my lap trying to answer the hardest questions I've ever heard.

This article, though, has made me cry. I am crying now.

"Is that an outrage, or what?" said Assemblyman Robert Straniere (R-S.I.). "What warped mind would want to create such a video?"

A Frenchman. Should we be surprised?

New York Defender / French

...oxymoron

wait til they get wind of Michael Moore's new movie...

I'm so glad people of this ilk are no longer in charge of the US.

Irony of ironies: hard to believe this is the same people who gave us the Statue of Liberty, isn't it?

"The game, New York Defender, was launched on the French Web site Uzinagaz.com a month after terrorist hijackers attacked the World Trade Center."

Yet another reason to pour French wine into the gutter where it belongs.

[LibKill]

Way over the top. Bad taste. Bad judgement.

Some (unprintable) idiots will do anything for money.

"We wanted to show there isn't any way to win against terrorism. Because it doesn't matter how many planes you shoot. There are always new planes," he said.

That's right, lets all just don our burqas and pay the dhimmi tax.

Remind me again why these people are called allies?

Don't look now but there is also an unreal mod in the works.

You are a random person in the towers. At http://www.selectparks.net/archive/911survivor/

At least it's not french.

BTW does anybody know if the Colimbine HS doom levels ever got out? (the originals not the re-works)

The way I see it, we have no choice BUT to win against terrorism...

The crass pastime also turned stomachs at a state Assembly press conference to drum up support for a law targeting violent, sexually explicit video games.

As far as I know, this game doesn't have sexual themes, so I guess it's not targeted. :-)
