It's Faux Noise. The "news" station that openly brags about lying and fear-mongering just to push the Republican agenda.
Stop and think: Can you recall many Republicans who care about environmentalism?
There's your answer.

There's your answer.
So being afraid of killing animals is bad? And being afraid of destroying the planet is bad? And trying to find what you see as the best alternative energy source is bad? And saving the PLANET is bad?
...Gotcha, you win again Fox, I wholeheartedly accept your logic.

I thought the moral from Monopoly is that capitalism is not infallible and must be regulated to prevent a destructive monopoly.Daveman said:
Laissez Faire Capitalism has the ideology that free markets are self stabilising and monopolies will nto form without government interference. Monopoly demonstrates through a game that simulates the property market how it is inevitable that one person will end up owning everything and it is game-over... you circle around and around the board forever in debt paying rent.
Monopoly is basically a re-packaging of Elizabeth Phillips' "The Landlord Game". She was a Quaker and wanted to make a subtle criticism of capitalism without being thrown in with the same lot as the over-zealous Communists and Marxists.
One thing I am astounded my is how The Landlord Game has been corrupted into a PRO-capitalism game, with all the focus on how one person can "win" rather than how it is inevitable that all the other players will lose and be doomed to economic slavery. Today the US Department of Justice work hard to enforce anti-monopoly laws, such as denying AT&T the change to buy T-Mobile, and definitely to stop one company owning all the mobile phone networks.
This just in: recent reports claim that fox's claim of a liberal agenda are furthering a conservative agenda. Discussion at 11.
Interesting questions asked by complete prats, huh?
Oh well, maybe it'll spur an organisation with half a brain to actually make something explorative rather than a pile of empty accusations that thinks an appropriate audience for Fat of the World would include a five year old.
But Flower? Since when is that an environmentalist game? I mean environmental overtones but.. meh as if they'd care, it's got a lot of green in it I suppose. It's not like many games could provide them with a swathe of vibrant greens, yellows, and blues in a single screenshot >.>
Also, they neglected to mention Fate of the World's 'Doctor Apocalypse' mode I'll bet. Which happens to be the prize for winning.

you know, for the longest time I thought that these guys were like the gossips who would tell people anything and everything they heard just for the sake of saying something, but rather they seem to be more like the kid who shoves crayons up his nose so people will look at him.
Man, I've written paragraphs shorter than that sentence.

When did we started caring about the awfull and lackfull opinions of Fox News?
They always try and start a war against gamers and everything else... they always lose...
According cartoons Evil never triumphs over the good forces, hence games=The good and the just and Fox=The weak and pathetic Imp that tries to run over hell, but can't (for reasons that would start another discussion i will refrain myself from telling the reason of why Fox can never run hell, and just be a part of it...)
