I just can't see how you can play Silent Hunter 2, 3, and 5 that are based on Nazi Germany WWII U-boats that sank ships carrying Jew supporting allies but have a problem with some old woman and her $0.02 about modern day Israel? Do you play as a rogue U-boat Captain that commits high treason against Nazi Germany by sinking your own ships or something?

You know, if ANY other country occupied an area the way Israel is occupying Palestine they'd be slapped with war crimes against humanity by the UN. But because it's Israel nobody feels compelled to say anything negative about what they're doing because of the whole Holocaust ordeal and the sheer hatred 90% of the world shares with Israel against the Arabs. It's sort of like how a black man can be blatantly racist towards a white man in America and nobody says or does crap about it, but if the white man said anything about the black man, he'd be labeled a racist and damn near jailed for it. You can't even be against Obama if your white without being labeled a racist! That's how ridiculous it's gotten!

I'm not sure if it passed or not, but New York tried to make it a punishable crime to for a white man to call a black man the "N" word. They wanted it to fall under "hate crime". I think the "freedom of speech" laws prevented that from actually passing and I'm glad if that's the case. Too many folks wear their feelings on their sleeves these days but seem all to eager to dole out medicine they aren't willing to take themselves!

Your comments about Helen Thomas being "third reich" are a lot more offensive than what her feelings were about Israel though. You just called her a Jew murdering Nazi more or less and all she did was answer a question about how she felt about Israel. That's not even close to being in the same league!

I'm glad she retired though. She should have used better tact during the interview then what she did and she knows it. A good reporter never lets anyone know how they really feel about anything. They're supposed to be neutral in appearance but that seems to be going away a lot these days as several reporters have made it very evident how they truly feel about things going on in the media. You mostly see this in left vs right politics in America. It's a shame because reporters are being used as political tools to steer people into following a specific ideological path instead of allowing people to just hear the facts and making up their own minds.

To me, it will be a sad day in America if verbal racism is ever criminally punished under the law. To me, that's just censorship and is clearly unconstitutional. It's a way for one side to silence the other side and that's just wrong. Everybody should be able to express themselves freely without restraints on those feelings whenever and wherever. It's only those foolish enough to physically act out on their feelings that should be held accountable. But there's nothing wrong with verbal communication in my book. Labeling a person as a racist for verbally expressing their feelings is just wrong. Why not try to befriend them instead and show them why they are wrong about you? All name calling and labeling does is makes them hate you even more and it creates a non-stop cycle of hatred!

I always found it funny when I worked in corrections and I saw how the blacks and whites segregated themselves in the cafeteria. Black people back in the day wanted white people to give them a chance, and still do, yet they've never seemed very eager to actually sit down with white folks and get to know them. Instead, most of them like to distance themselves from whites and label them as racists because the whites aren't getting up and sitting down with them. But where I come from, if you want something - you've got to get it yourself! And that's just my $0.02!
