Germans will do anything to avoid the fact that the problem is them.

Meh, idiotic election campaigning once more. I don't believe they can get this to pass or if they do that such a  law would hold against the BVerfG or EU free trade regulations.

"Violent games lower the inhibition level for real violence and spree killers always played such games before they did the crime."
Logical fallacy at 11:02.

You won't believe it, but we have hard evidence that proofs beyond any possible doubt that every spree killer ever arrested had consumed food in the 3 days previous to the actual killing. Even more, when they were subjected to food deprivation they did indeed exhibit clear symptoms of physical dependence, including decreased heart rate and blood pressure, anxiety and fear; the worst cases did suffer confusion, seizures, and visual hallucinations.

And still the authorities refuse to take the food menace seriously!

I wish I live in Germany. I'm so pro to this one.

Who the fuck are you?

You know you can accomplish the same thing as censorship by not buying things you don't like.

Didn't they already outlaw white text and unit markings on black counters? :(
Give me white on black SS counters, or give me death.
I don't see why we should have to choose.  Can't we give you both?

I am curious what video games exacty can you play without ones with violence?  Especially violence as non-graphic as WoW.

....I guess only soft core pornographic games will be left.

Too bad there isn't a gaming version of NRA.  I fear we, the gamers, are an endangered species.  Today Germany, tomorrow, the US maybe even Canada.
