    True, it'll be interesting especially if they research the area and do their homework properly. I'm just not sure how they're going to handle the missions for that area and I can see it being something like "insurgents from Republika Srpska attacking Muslim Bosnia"... yes I know it's only a game and I could be wrong, it's just my 2$.

    The only one that I can remember who did Bosnia was Soldier of Fortune.

    Actually it was Kosovo not Bosnia. You'd be forgiven for thinking that though since the original map was supposed to be located in Bosnia (one of the textures even has the Croatian flag in the graffiti).

    The trailer reminds me of MW with new graphics. I'm excited about the inclusion of Spetsgruppa alfa (yeah like you didn't know I was gonna say that ). Bosnia though? Really? Let me guess... evil Serb terrorists *sigh*

    Let's wait for D3ads to post.

    lol why? I barely drink a lot these days, been there done that.. got bored of it. I am still partial to Newcastle Brown, Guinness and Kopparberg sometimes though but mostly just drink soft drinks/pop, I've been drinking a lot of 'Ting' recently for instance.

  • American and British extradition laws

    Honestly makes me laugh how much American goverment preaches about protecting the world from terrorists or whatever and yet does things like this... I'm sorry.. I've got nothing against American people at all but the sooner we stop pandering to every fucking thing the US (and Israel) wants to do, the better.

  • KONY 2012

    You know what I'll admit that this is looking kinda hinky, so I've probably made a mistake putting this here I hold my hands up, so I've gone and deleted it from other places. As for the possibility of American wanting to invade/control Africa.. I didn't want to think it but it's not exactly unreasonable when I think of other conflicts... I would like to think for once that the US will do something without a hidden agenda but I guess not.

    If anything, this has educated people as to who Kony is and what has been happening.

    Go ahead and lock this anyway...

    /e Skjalg can you link me to where that big open letter is? Cheers.

    I'm not disregarding it but really... if it was a scam, the guy who made the video would be subject to a massive witchhunt from all those people in the video, millions that have supported the campaign since it began... Invisible Children has been a registered charity since 2004, if they were corrupt I'm pretty sure they'd be gone by now.

    For the record, I haven't donated, for now at least I'm just spreading awareness of it... like I said I had read up on the LRA awhile ago but like most people I knew it was just another evil in life that can't be stopped because people don't care. They clearly do.

    Quote from Skjalg

    Besides, what do you really expect to happen? That the UN/US march all their armies into the african jungle to get to one man... ? One man who has already been reported dead (rumors, but still) and also reported to have stopped abducting children and/or moved out of kongo.

    Well NATO invaded Libya to get one man, so I think that answers that question.

    It isn't just one man though is it, it's the entire LRA. His followers believe that he was delivered a message from God and he is carrying out the lord's wishes.. if their "disciple" was taken out/arrested it would be a lot easier to stop the LRA once and for all.

    There was a massacre carried out by the LRA in Congo in 2009, so unless he's died since then (I doubt it), he's still operating somewhere.

  • KONY 2012

    The campaign is to raise awareness of Kony in order to help capture and arrest him. It is not to actually provide lots of money to the children who have been victims. That's a seperate effort and there's a link in the video telling you how to donate if you want to. I think you've seen my political views on things like Syria, Libya, Kosovo etc to know that I don't "follow the crowd" as it were but to me this is black and white...it's about catching the worst kind of war criminal who's responsible to killing and arming innocent children.. no one should have to be forced into that situation... the poor kid in the video saw his brother killed because he refused to do what they wanted. It's pretty heartless for someone to say that it's a fraud because they pointed out out the amount of expenses that are required to make this a reality. Besides.. reddit.. seriously? It's full of people who post things about 9/11 being orchastrated by Jews and other such nonsense.

  • KONY 2012

    I had briefly read up on the LRA sometime ago last year, so I have a kind of understanding of this, unfortunately as the video points out most people don't, so I'm posting this for everyone to see;

    Joseph Rao Kony (born 1961 in Odek, Uganda) is a Ugandan guerrilla group leader, head of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a group engaged in a violent campaign to establish theocratic government based on the Ten Commandments throughout Uganda. The LRA say that God has sent spirits to communicate this mission directly to Kony.Directed by Kony, the LRA has earned a reputation for its actions against the people of several countries, including northern Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan and Sudan. It has abducted and forced an estimated 66,000 children to fight for them, and has also forced the internal displacement of over 2,000,000 people since its rebellion began in 1986. As a result, in 2005 Kony was indicted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court at the Hague, but has succeeded in evading capture since.

    Let's stop having fits over Iran not having any nuclear weapons and put our full attention to catching this evil man once and for all!
