Oh my god! A country other than America overreacting about something!

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?

Please click the link and read the article, before you share your thoughts on a subject.

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.

So you just comment on non existent stupid american laws? In an article that is about the Germans passing a violent game law?

Lets be honest here, you saw America, Law, Stupid and you commented. Why else would you make the Americas Army as a recruiting tool comment. You assumed this article was about a stupid violent game law passed in America without reading the actual article.

No that doesnt mean that at all. IT mean EXACTLY what it says, I DON'T SEE HOW they can MAKE laws like that.

That does NOT say, the law they DID make, is stupid.

Thinking skills are not your strength Idiot.


I feel like I'm talking to Elmer Fudd.

How they, you specifically said America... not they, not Germany, America.

Keep digging that hole buddy. We can keep going on, but I figure you'll just call me a name again, and stop posting in the thread like you usually do.

THat's exactly right though.

The title says omg another country besides america blah blah ...

Its about laws of violent games in germany..

I say 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?

In other words (I'll explain this for the simple minded, you know who you are... or maybe not) They can't make laws or shouldn't make laws like that. There will always be some who will try though but if they succeed they will have to adjust their war simulator, Americas Army, which they use to recruit.

bfd!
I'm done with it, the title says nothing about America passing a law, the article says nothing about America passing a law. You commented as if America made a law about violent video games.

It sounds like you read the title, commented and didn't read the article.

Anyways, this is a bunch of BS so lets just stop.

Enough said.
I don't see how america can make such stupid laws (LIKE THE ONES IN GERMANY ) when they use a violent video game to recruit noobs into the army.

I looked at it and I got the gist of it... school shootings, stringent laws against violent video games I can SURMISE the rest.
