    Going by what people say, I thought that people in the US were the only ones who ever did things like this! It must be a Christmas miracle!

    Ha! Have the krauts considered that shooters are perhaps an outlet to violence that prevents its real-life occurrence rather than encourages it? Freakin libs.

    I don't see how America can make such stupid laws when they Use Americas ARmy as a recruiting tool. They did take some of the more graphic death animations off though but the rag doll is still there

    You know this is talking about the Germans, and the law they just passed?

    Hey dumbass why don't you read the title of the thread instead of following me around making yourself look even stupider than most think you are.

    A country other than America the title says, and you comment as if some court in America passed the law.

    Where does the title state that we passed a law that banned violent games? You commented on the thread without reading the article, I'll let the mods deal with your flaming.

    Germany has always had rediculous censorship laws, but this is crazy.

    I am now back in Germany after 15 years and I am not fussed. Should they ever ban violent games here, us adults will get them somewhere else ( I still have friends in the Netherlands who could mail them to me). Order online, I do not like games in german anyway (or with green blood).

    One guy wrote a good comment in a newspaper here: What exactly will they prevent by banning violent games if they can not even make sure that an 18 year old can not get a weapon to start a columbine.

    The right wing politicians, (btw they are the ones doing the proposal: CSU In Bavaria not sure about lower saxony) are just like everywhere else, living in a bubble and have no idea really what goes on in real life.

    + If they ban these games, might as well well ban the news, movies, books, the army. Anything that could produce violence.

    Pathetic

    Agreed. I was quite speechless reading this in the papers this morning.

    So someone could take up a new profession as being an illegal video games dealer to Germany by selling the junkies copies of uncensored GoW goodness. LOL. But what that guy said in the newspaper SHADOW read is correct: What good is banning the games if they still have access to the weapons???

    And Freddy, I was with Idiot on his argument... you did word that sentence oddly. I was a bit confused to it's meaning as well
