Strategy Videogame Upsets Chinese, Gets Banned
An anonymous reader writes "China's State News Agency, Xinhua reports that China's Ministry of Culture has banned a computer game for 'distorting history and damaging China's sovereignty and territorial integrity'. Paradox's PC strategy game 'Hearts of Iron', was accused of distorting historical facts in describing Manchuria, West Xinjiang, and Tibet as independent sovereign countries in the maps of the game. 'All these severely distort historical facts and violate China's gaming and Internet service regulations,' the Ministry's Game Products Censorship Committee said. 'The game should be immediately prohibited.' [via China Digital]"

You call that "intellectual honesty" ? I call it spouting from the drug-addled bag (Rush Limbaugh) of arrogance and stupidity the the "right-wing" has been pushing on the intellectually-challenged Republican trailer trash for the last 50 years. Hell yeah 9/11 was our own damn fault. All the information needed to act on the the threat was clearly in the hands of the proper authorities. But through their arrogance and stupidity they failed to act. Now they prey upon our supposed naivety trying to convince us that "we did all we could" when obviously they did nothing at all.
You're a fucking deluded idiot and your myopic world-view makes you the utter representation of the America the world now loathes. The NeoCons have nearly destroyed this country. Unless W is removed from office the USA you used to know is just a thing of the past. Grow up....Wake up...look around you. Quit spouting tripe you hear off the radio.
Don't forget the geek hangouts... Best Buy, Fry's, Circuit City, etc.
/. Geeks saying how much they hate big businesses (like MS, Oracle, etc.), so they go out and buy their OSS stuff and hardware at Best Buy and Wal-Mart (which could buy MS with cash several times over). Brilliant. Fucking brilliant.
I love
Why would anyone bring that crap into the country after the war? Are you serious?
The munitions they found two weeks ago were not "trace amounts". Estimates were running that that one shell could kill thousands if used properly.
And we didn't "bomb the fuck" out of the country. The US knew they would have to rebuild the craphole country and minimized damange to infrastructure. The insurgents are currently "bombing the fuck" out of their country.
The British sure did - their whole fascination with Tibet was because Tibet closed its borders to them when they arrived and so it was a mysterious land of mystery monks. How could a non-nation shut its borders? That makes no sense. Bloody Chink revisionists.
