And yet you admire EA so much...

Fly off the handle if you must because you tried to claim 'all wars are bad'.

Yet you like the idea of a game that glorifies serial killers and uses them for the basis of entertainment, where the victims are generally female and innocents who are the victim of a murderer.
But wargames are bad?

I'm lost Hedfix. Are you trying to say all wars are good?

I can't quite see the point you're trying to make....

And after the notable vote you tried to tell me you only liked to have discussions with intelligent people, and you thought most on here were below you?

Also you might want to complain about 1970 and 80's comics as there was plenty of WW2 exploitation going on there, I remember one story where the company of soldiers met dracula...

Then there's countless war films and much glorification of violence etc.

Where does it all end?

You are taking an explosive-laden gateau to a chateau when Lt. Gruber pulls up in his little tank:
"Gut evening, Rene, vould you like to cruise with me in my little tank?"
YES/NO?
