However one seemingly simple yet relatively deep and complicated question has always bothered me: when does the "localization" of content stop being "localization" and turn into full-on "censorship"? Aren't these changes killing some of the game's fun?

If education is indeed a BIG factor for better health then why other countries that DO not have a really good grasp on education have one of the highest standard of health? (Bushmen in Africa, South American tribes, Tibetan monks, and other groups) These groups that do not have a western education seem to do well in health wise than us Western countries at all. Their 'education' ( not schooling please do not confuse this) has been taught and passed down to their current generations where current generations continue to adapt to the changes in the outside world. And yet they do not suffer the ailments that we are currently suffering from. Second of all statistical data, for all intents and purposes will generate a certain "correctness" in what is not really true at all. ( Again the margin of error within those calculations do not account for subjectivity ( emotions, opinions, etc) And plus the title is quite misleading. Instead of saying " Does Education Lead to Better Health?" it should read as " Does Schooling Lead to Better Health?" Cause your definition of your so called "education" is in fact schooling ( i.e. elementary,middle,high schools, and colleges) Education does NOT include schooling at all: "Education consists mainly in what we have unlearned." Mark Twain.
