OK, if we were going to invade a nation, it wouldnt be venezuela...it would be a country worth invading.

 

[KC72]

Mercenaries isn't even a sim, it's a blaster kind of game

 

[Rob Henderson]

lol...bunch of whinin babies...

 

[Fox]

It's just a game, Venezualia. So, don't complain.

 

[armlesscadet]

realy thats almost as bad as saying that video games promote violence in the schools

 

[mmarsh]

I liked the original Mercenaries and that was in North Korea, I didn't see the North Koreans making a fuss. Besides there are tons of games that allow to invade other countries, Rome: Total War, Axis and Allies, heck even RISK!

Besides, Hugo Chavez spent the last 2 years trying to get the USA attention well, monsieur est servie as the French say.

 

[Rob Henderson]

Ohhhh...Now I know why they are worried...check this out.http://today.reuters.com/business/newsArticle.aspx?type=ousiv&storyID=2006-05-10T191421Z_01_N05283609_RTRIDST_0_BUSINESSPRO-VENEZUELA-ENERGY-GASOLINE-DC.XML
Apparently, Venezuela has the cheapest gas at 12 cents a gallon!!!!!So they are worried about an invasion from the US because of their low energy...It makes a little bit more sense now.

 

[Missileer]

But, what is the average income of Venezuelans? If you make five bucks a day, 12 cents per gallon is a lot.

True, but Venezuela doesn't want the US, with it's even higher gas, to invade just so they can get the crude oil cheaper....

Edit:average income is about $3490 per year. Close, Missileer..

Which can take us to immigration. Illegals come here to make money, head back to Mexico or somewhere near there.ex Honduras,Ecuador. And then they live like kings.
