...so if someone were to have downloaded combat aircraft profiles into Flight Simulator 2002 and spent hours bombing and strafing various prominent buildings in and around D.C., he or she probably wouldn't want to talk much about that, huh?

Be on the lookout for WaReZ-TrAdAz spreadin' copiez of Fight Simulator 3, 4 or 95: Since they have they WTC within them they may compel the kidz into flying their Cessna's into them.

I wonder what that DINO Liberman would have to say about that?
