"I still wonder why this game... or bbs attracts more republicans than liberals"
IMO.... Because of the nature of the game these boards support. It's a war game built upon fighting other people in a virtual world.
It's therefore, IMO again, it's only natural that more people here would be hawkish than not. You'd find more of the opposite (liberal, more peaceful inclined audience) in a game like the SIMS Online.

NYC is only a short bus ride away.
Really. What's stopping any of you who dislike these people so much from going to NYC to counter demonstrating and smashing a few of those padi-to-march, commie bastard, dirty hippy noses into pulp?
