My new Game, "The commissars of hazard" is safe for the time being....
Posted on 06/25/2015 8:40:06 AM PDT by St_Thomas_Aquinas
If you've been watching the news recently, you'll know of the huge debate in the U.S over the role of the Confederate flag in contemporary America. Many see it as a reminder of the many pre-Civil War injustices while others see it simply as a way to honor the soldiers who died for the Confederacy. Many large US companies, like Walmart and Amazon, have already banned the sale of any Confederate flag merchandise as a reaction to the recent events. Now, it appears that Apple has decided to join them by pulling many Civil War wargames from the App Store. As of the writing of this story, games like Ultimate General: Gettysburg and all the Hunted Cow Civil War games are nowhere to be found. Apple is famous for reaching for the axe rather than the scalpel when it comes to political issues (like rejecting Hunted Cow's Tank Battle 1942 for depicting Germans and Russians as enemies), so this move doesn't come as a great surprise.

My new Game, "The commissars of hazard" is safe for the time being....
Wow, one of the poster’s predictions is right.
I sense that someone will set up a indy website selling civil war stuff and will make a ton of money.
We look with horror at the Taliban and ISIS as they destroy historical items and cast aside rational thought in favor of rigid dogma. Then we do it here.
Because there’s no reaction like overreaction.
I better buy the Dukes of Hazard seasons now then....
Yup, just like the gun thing, sales will be brisk!
The thing is this country is under attack and has been under attack ever since Democraps had the brilliant idea to put an enemy of the United states into the nations highest office. So ANY leverage this enemy can get he is going to take full advantage of to further destroy the nation. Now he is going after history with the intent to discredit the founding fathers after which the constitution will go using the reason “it was written by slave owners and racists”. The thing is Congress is going along with this so basically the people are on their own. Either this country finds some way to form a rebellion and take action or we most likely will find ourselves living under a totalitarian regime if we aren’t already.
The Nazi bastards will be coming for your white sheets and pillow cases next!
They do realize the North won that conflict, right? Or are they that stupid?
Monday’s SCOTUS ruling will be the finishing touch. The 1st Amendment goes, and it all topples with it.
This looks like coordinated phone calls to CEO’s. I wonder is anyone will investigate that possibility.
Just extending a little liblogic(?) here. So, since the confederate uniform was for the most part gray, the fact that I purchased a gray truck obviously means I’m racist and not only that, since the tires are black it just shows that I want to crush them. Or something. This is getting ridiculouser and ridiculouser.
crapple is so barack shallowbama.

Holy Carp, my car is silver, which is a shade or type of grey..... that must mean i am racist we need to burn me at stake or do a water test to see if I am really racist or not...
Let’s play “Erase History”!
No, because no shipper will be willing to carry the stuff.
I’m sure rainbow flags are still allowed at Apple.
