clearly the german government doesn't think parents can be parents. i understand putting a warning on a game letting parents know that their child will be killing folk in a game but in the end it's the parents responsibility to decide what their kids are allowed to do or to not do. however, i also know germany has some of the strictest laws on movies and musical content of any westernized nation so i suppose this doesn't entirely surprise me.

So what? Only the mentally disturbed are going to be affected by the violence in video games? What extent of mental instability? Who is to say which people are unstable and who isn't?
Why must people tend towards violence when there are alternatives?
If there is life, for instance, on other planets, are they considered mentally stable and good decent beings for entertaining themselves with violence? Have they maybe evolved past that? If so, how? What makes a race decide once for all to turn away from taking pleasure in harming another creature?
I do not understand why generation after generation must be exposed to any sort of violence. I do not get why violence must be considered part of the human condition, part of what we consider entertainment, part of what it is we must watch.
I do not see how humanity is ever going to evolve past the appetite for destruction unless someone somewhere decides against it.
Garbage in garbage out.

Given their recent history, the case of Germany is always going to be complex (and interesting). They're trying to grapple with and overcome a lot of national baggage, so to speak.
Still, I don't think this is the way to deal with it.

^True. A History of Violence - contextually I mean. But hey, they're dealing with it :thumbsup:
the day they end violence in video games is the day I stop playing them and this would suck since I have been at it since 1985 :crash:
^^LOL. I'm not a gamer...I'm just a Big Boob fan
hell no!
although i dont play games like counter strike, i love the fighting in NHL games
but i think that is not violent enough to stop hockey-productions *lol*
