I won't say it... I'll let someone else do it. Anyway, no, flight sims are not illegal nor are they cause for alarm. People are far too reactionary after 9/11...

I'd be a little mad that the state trooper was walking around my house. OTOH, he was doing his job if you will. But also, staples employees misunderstood the lady's request.

Not only are flight simulators legal, learning to fly is still legal last time I checked :D I really hope people aren't relying on Staples clerks to make legal judgments. I do remember being pissed when Microsoft postponed the release of Flight Simulator 2002 following September 11th.

Yep. This is the kind of stupid crap that scares me about our country. It's turning into 1984. :|

Why do people get upset about video games, but not something important like the Patriot Act?

Because people are sheep. How many average Americans know what the Patriot Act really is?

How many people can name the Vice President? Probably fewer than you'd think.

The government tells people that the Patriot act is needed to stop terrorists from destroying this country. People don't even realize the freedoms they are giving away.

Oddly enough I agree with the born-again platypus. Patriot Act is no security.

Now *there's* a good name for a tv show ;) "It's the Born-Again Platypus Hour!!! Starring your host: religious zealot extraordinaire Flyermax2k3 and his band of purple monkey dishwashers!"

I'm partial to monotheistic monotreme. WTF is a purple monkey dishwasher, was that from when you wigged out with the polls?

Yeah, I'm kind of on a "purple monkey dishwasher" kick today. Dunno why. Either way someone should submit a pilot to one of the networks. I'm sure this show would be successful :)
