I really liked and agreed with your post on ethics, although I think there are a few lines sane people can agree on.<BR/><BR/>It reminds me of a question going around the blogosphere; what book do you wish had never been printed? Some bloggers say "none". I can <I>almost</I> agree with them, since I love books. But I always post a comment that reminds them there is one: <I>Mein Kampf</I>. If they don't mind <I>that</I> was ever published, I don't want to be reading their blog anyway.<BR/><BR/>So I think there are some lines that sane people can agree on, even if there aren't very many of them. I am sure there are some people who could have fun playing a <I>Warsaw Ghetto</I> game without necessarily sympathising with the side they were playing. I don't condemn those people.<BR/><BR/>And, yes the Uprising ought to be remembered. If nothing else, it showed just what the "Aryan supermen" were really made of. For an unequal contest, the inhabitants of the Ghetto sure put up a great fight! That ought to be commemorated. But, personally, I don't think I could enjoy myself playing the German side of that game. I'd lose, quickly. I'd just surrender; I couldn't help myself. <BR/><BR/>I'm not saying there aren't quite decent people who would disagree with me; but I think (I hope!) there are also others who would understand just how I feel. What is the answer? I don't know. I wish I did. I see another wave of hatred engulfing the world, and for all my words, I am powerless to stop it.<BR/><BR/><I>I am not accusing you</I>, by the way. It was just the thought of playing, even playing, that scenario from the German side that set me off. I fear it would be all too popular with the wrong people for the wrong reasons. I <I>do</I> know there are decent people who wouldn't see it that way. It just resonates wrong with me.<BR/><BR/>(Sorry for the long comment.
