llol, those addicted to wow/cs aren't the one getting car accident/doing vadalism and stuff.....

also, im not in eu, but let's say cs in eu is like halo in the us, 90% of the kid have play halo/cod4, so that mean 90% of the school shooting are because of game? 90% of the kid play sport, taht mean sport are the cause of school shooting 2...

I dont think there is a competent government in this world anywhere. They use video games for an excuse to EVERYTHING that happens around the world. This is ridiculous, the parents are to blame. Actually put some damn responsibility on these piece of shit parents for a change. If you have a kid YOU are responsible for EVERYTHING your kid does. If you think he plays world of warcraft to much it is YOUR fault as a parent. If he shoots up a school or is violent to people it is YOUR fault parents. Get some fucking responsibility and teach your damn kids instead of ignoring them and not giving a crap. These idiotic parents made the decision to have kids and they need to be responsible for it.

banning weed dint stop ppl from smoking it, banning ciggarte won't stop ppl from smoking, banning alcohol for ppl under 18 din't work, how is banning video game gonna work? let's hope we wont see hitler 2 take the head of germany

oh thanks god ... no more kids haha

meh omg.. First China complaining about bones of undeads and now germans about addictive games? They don't do ppl violance!

just saw on the news that some people got trampled to death and many more injured in the crowd during Pope's visit in Argentina (i think?) ... but that's ok, it has Jesus in it.

but when something bad happens that is even REMOTELY related to gaming? BAN GAMES!!


i am so looking forward to when this generation of tunnelvision anti-technology retards dies out.

any elections coming up in Germany? cuz it looks like someone needs attention!

pure rubbish ...

Banning games from kids is kinda good. I appreciate that idea =D Ofc you all can handle these games, I know that, else you wouldnt post here, but there are far too many kids who cant control themself and they just play leaving all the rest behind them. This is like being addictive to a drug/alcohol/glue ;) etc...

Ofc it is the parents fault, but easier to give some restroctions to something than to tell the parants or the people who will vouch you at the next election, that you failed at you child.

plz German, ban WoW
it sucks...

I hope they will ban all the games. And then i hope some idiot is so fucked up that he run around and kill people because he can't play the games that he like. Ok, i don't hope that happen but yeah..

There are so many problems in the world right now but the only thing they care about is video games..

How about the financial crisis ? Oh, I forgot that video games are the cause of that...

hahhah

Dumb idea, Germany obviously havent seen a gamer who doesn't have an internet connection for more than 4 hours..

it's time for ppl to get a life, fuck and get out, that's the only way ppl will avoid frustration.

but its true, CS and wow addictive games for sure

If they want to ban CS and WoW, they should ban for example Postal 2 even if it's not ONLINE game, they should ban GTA and COD because they show violence:/
I think, that if You are ok with Your mind, You can play those games, cause You know where is the border between real life and virtual life.
So in my opinion, it won't give any results.

Playing games is no good for economy, so they want german kids to work, work and work.

totally agree with sephiroth if parents took care of their children this kinda things wouldn't happen

kids got out ;))))

i love how they seem to forget the fact tht accidents like the last shooting in germany was not video games' fault but the guy's parents'...

better gun control = no accidents like tht

hahahah seriously, they blame everything on video games. As soon as an shooting occurs somewhere, they blame games 'coz they "teach" violence. jeez..

TV shows REAL dead bodies, but well, np, it's video games' fault.
kkkk ~~

hahahahahahahahah funny

Sure, this discussion will fall apart like it always does. Mazzacres like in Erfurt, Emsdetten

so shame that in Hitler's times there wasn't any computer games, it would be easier to answer why so many people died ;] would't it?

true ;=]

blaming video games instead of stupidity of parents who don't know how to educate their children is nonsense

Postal 2: STP = Online dude. And, yes, I was pretty addicted to Postal 2 when it was new. But, when I say addicted, I really just mean "totally liked it and played it a lot". It's not like I got the shakes when I couldn't play. Same goes for CS, TF2 (my current favs). If I have some free time, that's the way I prefer to spend it, but do I start shaking like a drug addict when I can't play for some reason?? No.

There are so many things you can get hooked on if you're an "addictive personality". How about TV, sex, training, food?
Anything that feels fun or nice will have its addicts. In the end, like so many have already suggested, it's up to parents to PARENT (that's a verb that many so called parents didn't even know exists, I'm afraid).

Anyone older than 20 might remember the video violence debate of the late eighties and early nineties (the "ninja-" and "karate"-movies). Same shit, different day.

Parents and politicians, take your responsibility and leave us sane people alone!

agreed .. same like me

the german minister can suck a good c o c k i guess
