Computer games are not purely entertainment. You can learn things from even some FPS games. On top of that, simulators are considered to be a valid form of education. If this were the 1980's, yes, I'd agree with you.
This is not the case now.
Yeah, you can open a Japanese history book and find out about the darker parts of their history too. *gasp*
Looked up that author, he wrote a book about the expansion of Japan into Asia before and during WW2. Point being?
I've been to Japan, and I know what I saw. They're not afraid of their history, they don't confine it to the history books, and they certainly don't throw a fit over a video game depicting a kamikaze attack, or similar events. The Germans on the otherhand, throw the slightest fit over a swastika or a game that even MENTIONS what Hitler did while in charge of Germany.
The website does not work on Firefox for me. I don't know why, but my computer is wacky when it comes to errors.
