By the same token, you're playing a game that portrays military personnel fighting terrorists while we have real soldiers dieing while doing the same thing. Pretty much the same, don't you think? ;)

Not really. Eventually it will be ok to use Virginia Tech related nicknames and whatever without being highly offensive. People just act different for a while after something like that happens.

In the grand scheme of things, its really not that huge of a deal. People just tend to cling to certain stuff for longer.

I don't think anyone is holding a candlelight vigil for the 160+ Iraqi's that got blown up today in just one attack, and they were just as innocent as the students at VT. They might not have been American's, but all humans are created equal right?
