I am talking particularly about how US history is taught and not World History. I thought that much would be obvious.

It is pretty much true. When kids learn the exploration and expansion of the United States during the 1800's do the mainstream historical texts cover the Trail of Tears? Do those texts mention Thomas Jefferson telling his Secretary of War to bring down the hatchet against the Native Americans? Do they touch the decimation of the Native American cultures that was instigated by the government? Or about the interment camps that Asian Americans had to endure during World War 2? Of course not. In schools they teach that White America is good and gracious to all and never show the ugly underside of Manifest Destiny.

Oh, you are so enlightening, Weiser.

The thing is for a game to be good and entertaining for me it must have a fair share of elements that is often only found in CRPGs. I look for character development, story progression, challenge level, environment interactivity, combat, and so on. I don't just play a game for what it is because if it doesn't have what I am looking for I just don't see it as entertaining. Diablo is a boring game. It will always be a boring game for me.

Don't know, and don't particularly care. I don't play Blizzard games since I got bored with the Diablo series. I just think that if you are going to discriminate against against a group of people be prepared for the consequences.

Could be the fact that they are employed by other game development companies? I know Shadowstrider is employed by Bethesda. Anyhoot, I think it is about time that Blizzard apologized. For godsakes, the person just wanted to group with those who won't verbally abuse or harass her just because she happens to be homosexual.

Well said, Eldar.

Hey, everyone has their own system, Alanschu. I don't make fun of yours.

It was called The Professional here inthe US if memory serves. A very very good movie.

Yes, Islamic Extremism is the most prevalent and dangerous right now but I do think they all need to be removed.

The more secular government is and the more religion is a private affair the better.

Same thing to me.

Isn't White History dominant anyway? Kids learn white history every single day of the year here in the US.

And here I was trying to stay on topic without throwing petty insults to my fellow posters. Silly me.

Any religious extremism is dangerous and needs to be stopped.

I don't. You don't see me going door to door pestering people about my beliefs, forcing bibles to people, screaming at them to repent, bombing Planned Parenthood clinics, train stations, or slamming jetliners into buildings.

I think that the extremists, regardless of religion, needs to grow up. The more a country is secular, the better it is off. Religion is an archaic institution that needs to be removed from human existance. It served its purpose. Time to move on.

Deus Ex is a FPS/CRPG hybrid. I am planning to replay the game and reassest by judgement of that game using my CRPG standards and not my FPS standards. Majesty I have never played. GTA I would catagorized as an action game. Then it wouldn't be Diablo anymore now would it? It would make all their fans run away! Don't get me wrong, I hate Diablo 2 , but I don't think Blizzard would be as stupid as to scare off millions of potential customers I do think it would kickarse. That is completely wrong.

I have two arms.

I rather draw a picture of Jesus and burn that.

Yes, nearly everything but not on this issue.

If a game is completely boring I just stop playing. Diablo 1 and 2, along with Dungeon Siege 1 were all boring games.

Only in a comical manner.

I don't have expectations, but I do have stnadards. Diablo 1 and 2 failed to meet them and both were boring games.

Don't be insulting, Pixie Stick.
