Yes if I wanted to, I could simulate killing jews and there wouldn't be a single thing you could do about it. Same thing with nuclear weapons, 2000lb bombs, .50 cal tracers, Nike Missiles, Aim-9's, 30mm cannons, and any other weapons I can think of could be simulated and potentially enjoyed without a consideration of your relentless and contradicting moral arguments and grief against anything military related due to what seems to be an obsession with WWII bombings and the holocaust.
Personally, I don't 'play' 'war games'. I fly, simulate, gather data, and learn. This is what is amazing about the human race. We can take information, and break it down and learn from it, and we can use this information and apply it to something else and make theories, proposals, and conclusions using processes such as the scientific method. This is one way I use flightgear. I also use flightgear to simulate what it would be like if I were flying the A-10, F-14B, MiG-15, SR-71, P-38 and other aircraft that I know I will probably never get to fly in my lifetime. Simulation is a great tool, and I don't think it is right to in any way restrict the limits of ones ability to use the simulator for whatever way they see fit. What I do believe can be restricted, is one's ability to direct slanderous content directly at an individual via Multiplayer Chat. This is a completely different matter though, and I will leave any further statements concerning thus out of this discussion.
