As you can see I used a ridicules way to begin this post in what I know will be a vein attempt to draw a parallel to the ridicules extremism of fettering member's choice of slag in reference of real life situations depicted thru an extremely high polycount game simply known as SH4. I can appreciate everyones sensitivity but for crying out loud....Donate more of your time to charatible organizations if you feel that insecure.

Please indulge me here for a few moments folks. This is a forum about WAR GAMES. We in this forum are entertained by the notion of controling vehicles of war. Which in real life as we all know where intended to destroy things and kill people in the process. If that doesn't offend you...using vernacular consistant with the time period should be a walk in the park.

I look at some of the phrases and sayings some of you have as part of your avatars or names only to be amused that you are sometimes the ones clammering about affending others. For the most part it is quite obvious the vast majority of the members here are higly educated and apparently come from solid backgrounds. Why else would you carry on about slang. On another thought if you are this sensitive why on earth would you wrap your self up in a game which glorfies wars, the destruction of property even cities and the killing of people in particualr. It just doesn't weigh out gang.

This is a great forum with great participants. And, I enjoy reading the many contributions which obvoiusly are the result of many hours of research. Sharing this info has enlightened me on a broad girth of issues. But I am somewhat perplexed over the notion of becoming self absorbed in a war game then turn around and get all sappy on us.

It creats a creditbility gap that makes the Grand Canyon look like a hairline fracture.

Keep those cards and letters coming.............
I think everybody is just so sensitive because you've got to be it today. You say something and somebody gets offended and hell brakes lose.
That reminds of one of the Scrubs episodes:

Dr. Kelso: Dr. Dorian, I have kept my mouth shut about all the recent sexual harassment complaints because I don't think it's fair to punish a man for making small talk...or, say, asking his secretary just once to dress up as a geisha girl and call him Kelso-san....

:rotfl:
Nope, There senitive because it's about us subs and not there all mighty 7cs or 9bs, god -for- bid.. that someone other than the germans made a great sub during ww2.
