I've liked Aces High since I paid my first subscription month 10 or 11 years ago. I've watched the creeping PC social insanity during that time dancing around being held off by the 1st amendment and the lucrative nature of a free Internet.
For people to allow turning you in to the police when you are speaking an obvious analogy to highlight a serious problem using yourself as a fictitious actor. Means a large enough part of our society will punish you without qualms for anything they deem offensive to themselves if someone with the power to create the permissive environment is in charge. Now our personal physicians have become members of the Stasi informing on us to the police out of context, knowing exactly what the analogy means in your personal confidential conversation. You don't become a physician with a B average in school.
If uptown(Oldno7) had chosen to show the proper authorities the screen shots of the 357 threat to himself from ch200. How long would it have taken for those looking for cyber bullying, violent games, and Internet terrorist threats to be impacting our childish fun? Each incident like uptown related, the recent FaceBook user arrest, becomes precedence nails in a legal coffin until the time a different government group is voted in charge, with a different DOJ, who will rein this in.
Internet games are a magnet to the kinds of low impulse control fools who make the 357 terrorizing threats that justify the push to PC speech and conduct tyranny that's growing under todays government auspices. Feeding the troll in todays Orwellian Internet society may well be feeding the current government's campaign to control Internet speech. While setting precedence to codifying hate speech and terrorist speech as the "Yelling Fire" exception to the 1st amendment. This then will be blurred into political speech, then into personal blogging, to silence amateur investigative journalism which dominates the blog sphere. The idea to license journalists has already been thrown out for legislation along with numerous attempts to silence conservative and Christian Internet blogs, radio and online magazines as hate speech.
But, the old BS excuse is always handy. I was only having a little fun. And how do any of you not know if the fun is to help create a situation like this, so one player finally gets offended and goes to the authorities? This is 2013 not 1953, and being offended, and the guberment helping you get revenge is the ruling modality.
