Well, one reason why I take this so seriously is that an alarming number of people in favour of gunning apart life-boats in this
game seem to also apply their standards to
real-life, where killing
has consequences.

In fact Ubi soft not putting machine gunnable survivors in the game would deny us our right to commit evil which is the most essential part of the human condition. How else can we achieve salvation except by resisting the urge to wanton slaughter, or perhaps by commiting it and seeking redemption

I was wondering when you'd drag religion into this:rotfl:.
Well, apart from morality, Geneva conventions, What Would Morton Do,
et al, I so far have found these arguments against:
- FPS spent on modelling every life-boat, seagull and dock person with a collision mesh/hit box/whatever so that they can be shot.
- Age limit issues (SH4 is currently rated "E" for "Everyone", it seems, and massacring life-boats would probably up that a level to ET or T or something).
- It doesn't really contribute to game-play, more than it'd contribute to shoot seagulls.
