I can sympathize with people in this woman's situation, but her refusal to accept the legitimacy of the cops & robbers comparison sort of tears her argument apart. People may not still be dying in WWII conflicts, but police officers and thieves have been killing people since before their conflicts rose to prominence as a children's game, and they will continue to kill people for some time to come. If someone told me that her son was killed in, say, a bank robbery, and that it is therefore insensitive to let kids play cops & robbers, I'd say, "Well, I'm very sorry that such a tragic death befell your son, but it is rather absurd to expect that such a restriction be adopted and upheld by any significant number of people."
" @EternalInfinity0: WTF is people's problems with Phoenix Down? Down is the soft feathers of a bird, as in eider down. Phoenix is a mythical bird that is said to resurrect itself. Phoenix Down is a feather that you use to bring people back from the dead. It actually works on more than one level, considering you are in a 'downed' state from which you are revived. So..WTF is the problem? "
