Why Do People Still Think The Earth Is Flat?

The Game that is pissing off the Alt Right

There's a legal reason for that. In Germany, the law prohibits the distribution or public use of symbols of unconstitutional groups (flags, insignia, uniforms, slogans and forms of greeting) as part of an effort to 'de-nazify' the national culture following the end of WW2. The Wolfenstein games are chock-full of these symbols. You can see the effects of the law on other WW2-themed games as well, like War Thunder.

Maybe the alt-right idiots should move tro germany. The first Wolfenstein is banned (still) and all following games are heavily censored or outright banned as well. And it's not just for the violence. Since Return to Castle Wolfenstein all games have removed Nazi insignia so you don't kill Nazis anymore but other made up groups instead (in RtCW the Nazis were renamed into the Wolves IIRC). The New Colossus contains all the violence in germany but no swastikas or SS runes.
What a load of Bullshit.

"Alternative Math" - The confusing times we live in

draebor says...

Great discussion but I think the point the video makes is that the emphasis in education has changed from molding kids to meet a standard to molding educational standards to fit the kid. Parents are now their child's advocate as opposed to being part of the education process. Schools are so afraid of bad press or being sued that they won't stand up to parents and their outrageous sense of propriety. All of this combined results in a broken education system.

Like it or not, parents need to stop and realize that in most cases teachers are trying to prepare their kids to survive in a world that's NOT going to conform to their unique little quirks... a world that's NOT going to accept that 2 + 2 = 22 because that's just not how the world works.
