German Group Holdling a "Killer Game" Cull

[Skarvig]

I'm ashamed of my people here. Well let's see if I can go there and trash my copy of "The Sims" there is no better killing simulator. In which game I'm able to see a starving/drowning/burning/electrocuted/diseased person die? But I bet they won't say that The Sims is a "Killer Spiel". The whole gathering is going to be full bigotry.

If anything there is to trash than it would be his classmates who treated him like sh*t.

It's ironic ... these people are the ones that MAKE me angry and violent

 

[Steambroom]

Sadly Germany already has one of the strictest gaming restriction worldwide.
But some people never realise anything.

Oh, I am so ashamed of my country for this. This is seriously retarded, why do even the families of the victims themselves search for the easiest and most convenient "solution" to school shootings?
On a side note, I don't think they will be able to fill that bin(except with games nobody wants to play anymore, in order to get that jersey).

because they themselves know that if they didnt blame something else, people would point out how they didnt pay attention to what their kids play, buy, or watch.

Yeah, I know, but shouldn't the people whose kids have been endangered, injured or even killed in that school shooting try to find a real solution? Of all people, those are the ones who should attempt to prevent further school shootings by doing things that are actually useful, in my opinion.

Edit: Thinking about it, maybe I should go there to fish some of the good games that people will drop in there out of the bin. I get free games, they get the satisfaction of feeling they have done something. Win-win, right?

Ugh mental people ruin all our fun.

The stylized image of a person throwing a videogame into the trash used in promotional material for the event is a modified version of one used to encourage citizens to do away with the swastika, using a game disc in place of the infamous Nazi symbol.

So violent video games are the equivalent of fucking Nazi's?

Idiots.

What video games did Hitler play?

For them this is the solution. And this just saddens me.

I'm glad we got most of this ridiculousness out of our system several years ago. Wacko Jacko excepted.

According to Youtube, he played Wow.
And he was pretty pissed at GTA IV not working for him.
...
Whatever.
OT:Yeah, this reminds me of book burning. Scary stuff.
People should be a little more aware of the things they are doing.

 

[Cryfear101]

Maybe they should just chill , have a beer , smoke a ciggy and eat some german sausages!

 

[Baby Tea]

But didn't the Nazis do the same thing with book burnings?
It's like an endless loop! They can't help but burn things!

Wow, Godwin's in the fifth post. Is that not a little tasteless for a moderator?

Technically it was in the OP, which is why I referenced it in the first place:

So, as I said, it's an endless loop!

I'm sick of these parents who use games as a scapegoat to make up for the fact that they lack in parenting skills, and keep firearms within arms reach of their child.

 

[FLSH_BNG]

This is ridiculous! If I had the money, I would stand beside my brothers in their hour of need.

To think that people still haven't proven themselves to possess the open minds they tout everywhere!

 

[Austichar]

Won't the toxic fumes from all the burning plastic from the video games make them all sick?

 

[Asehujiko]

I'm going to laugh if they set a huge pile of dvd's on fire and murder everybody in the vicinity with the toxic smoke. Then I'd nominate them for a Darwin Award.

 

[edgeofblade]

Oh dear god. This is why I am in favor of space exploration. Because someday, we will have the chance to put light-years between us and the idiots who think this kinda of shit flies.

 

[wasalp]

Damn. That's another country off my list
of places to live. Is Canada still sane?

I would like to say that we still are...but we do everything america does(except harsh copyright laws(thank god)) and we have a moronic goverment who wants a majority and will start an election every 1-2 years. Its still not a bad place to live tough.

I haven't heard of anything here in Canada about crazies trying to ban games. although there could be some little group somewhere making an effort. you just need a lot of money (more than a little group like this could muster) to start any kind of campain like that here, with how large our country and spread apart our population is.

and anyway, almost every major city in Canada has a big games studio, and a number of small ones... they supply employment and pay taxes, an industry our local goverments wouldn't want to see gone.

 

[Therumancer]

Yeah.. their campaign to do away with the Swatstika was EXACTLY the mass burnings I thought of here. :/

Germans sure love their burnings, and I for one am missing the Berlin Wall more than usual.

 

[Neosage]

I just had a really good idea on how to get free games...
