Second Life and World of Warcraft Infested With Terrorists
MMORPG's have a distinct advantage to them, in the way you can (supposedly) escape reality and live as a completely different creature in a different world. However, this ulterior world attracts more than just people trying to escape life's harsh realities. Games such as Second Life and World of Warcraft have reported several instances of cyber-terrorism. In some instances, Australian police have found evidence that terrorists are using these virtual worlds to recruit terrorists and train them. Experts on the matter say that "terrorists are rehearsing their operations in Second Life because they can't practice in the real world". Experts also notice that terrorists "can gain training in games such as World of Warcraft in a simulated environment, using weapons that are identical to real-world armaments."

What a joke. How could you possibly apply WoW combat or even tactics to RL?!? o.O
Suberversion
Sabatoge
Theft
Tactics
Interculturial communication
How people act/react to;
Fear
Suprise
Confrontation
Confusion
Those ae just a few examples, the list is long.
Information can be gathered thru in game chats/TS etc.
Terrorism is phycological, it's people skills, there are a lot of "unsuspecting" people in "games"; You never realy know who they are or their intentions.
Most of us don't remember WWII or the "close your mouth" policy's inacted.
Think before you talk to people in game. They may claim to be from your country and even sound like it, You never really know. Is it worth it.
Never answer questions about deployed freinds, family or relatives etc.
Never answer questions about Public opinion in regards to active military conflicts.
If it "sounds" improper, it probably should not be talked about.
If specifics are asked for, you may want to take some action, every little bit of information we gather can aid OUR SOLDIERS.(screen name or IP, etc)
The Patriot Act may sound a little extreme but it's in place for a reason.
Do you "KNOW" your clan and who they are? You might be suprised!!
People are too quick to vote away their freedoms and give the government more power to control you. Wish more people saw it that way and thought before they started voting. Its no coincidence that the richest of the rich CEO's were at Democratic conventions before the presidential election. And then everyone complains about republicans because WE (yes...WE) voted in a complete moron. Social programs are another way to get money out of your pocket and give the government a right to help control your lives.
Not everyone voted Bush in, lol. Yeah, he's made mistakes, and yeah he's done good things. He's known for the mistakes he made like going into Iraq on false intel. But if you think about it, the bursting of the net bubble could've been alot worse, but now we face the consequence of the tax cuts which is alot of debt. Not only that but a growing economy in China because of exports to the US. Most things he's done there have been good and bad, but we all would prefer more good than bad.
You sound like someone we need to spy on.
Not everyone on the planet believes in the same things we do, and they want us GONE!!
Some of these plans have been in the works since the end of WWII.(more than 50 years).
Keep in mind, many terrorist imigrated to the U.S. Years Ago(more than 20 years). I hope you don't have any family members in the Military, because you are not helping KEEP THEM ALIVE!!
