@ mrstickball: living in Germany I can say for sure that we do confront our selfs with the past and we do try to understand the evil we did rather than forget it, the reason nazi images are banned from games is because some people fear they may be glorified, I would prefer calling censorship fashist rather than nazi but its all really the same, and just to get it streight, most games (99%) do make it to the german market(some with less blood and without nazi images) , germany IS a big videogame market but PCs dominate, we still have nazis running around but there are as little as in america, the big violence debate started about 4 or 5 years ago when a german student shot more people in his school than the people in littleton did and the press made a big show about him playing counterstrike.
From what I can tell americans don´t hate germany at all and even if germany seems to hate america its only because its "cool" to be against war and Bush, everybody still watches your TV playes your games listens to your musik and wears your clothes, so were still in love with american culture, we just don´t want to admit it, oh and I´m half American half German so I´ve been to both places and have heard both opinions, oh and a big thanx for getting rid of hitler (who was not german...."looking at denny but just kidding") at least in those days the evil guys had black uniforms with skulls on them.
So lets all enjoy the big things we have in common instead of fighting about the little things that separate us :)
