Question Regarding Grumman Lawsuit

[Viking]

We must not forget that Grumman et consorties (the "defence" contractors) live on fear. The population must live in fear and a belive that the outside world is evil and that US must use every available dollar to buy moore weapons from the contractors.

Then comes a Russian (one of the evil commies!) guy and gives microsoft a teatching on how a flightsim should look! And then the commie goes on and sort of clames that the Soviets won the war!!
Do you seriusly think that Grumman would slap Oleg on the back? " Congrats comrade you surly made a nice Grumman XXX there! This will cast some light on history and bring our nations together again like old times!"
Think not!

Regards

Now I'm Australian and I am very proud of my father and his generations service during WWII, but when you look at the numbers on total casualties. (Sorry for the Wikipedia data)

Austalia - 41,200
Canada - 45,300
US - 418,500
UK - 449,800
USSR - 23,954,000!

Well I doubt that anyone could say that their country won the war but the USSR can at least say it did its share of suffering. If Oleg wants to be proud of his country's contribution to winning WWII that's OK by me.

Agree with Viking - you commie bastard!

It just remembered those pre-90's American movies, with the evil Russians that ate live children and had baby heads for dessert.

Regarding to the whole discussion, it's just ridiculous. People just like getting money for everything nowadays. Worst than this, to me, only those bastards that can't take a joke and prosecute everyone because of it (yeah, I called you guys who do this BASTARDS. You are going to prosecute me?).

First this was happening mostly in the US, but then this spreaded world-wide. In Brazil this is happening very often too. I've seen cases of people getting about 9 thousand dollars because of such things (in this particular case, if I remember, it was something like students making jokes about some teacher on their Orkut community). I don't know who was the idiot that gave room to such things, but I bet he was a barrel-shaped anti-social nerd that was bothered by everyone during his childhood and decided to have a payback. Ridiculous.

PS: I don't have anything against barrel-shaped anti-social nerds, even because I'm not that thin .
