Good gosh, "WHAA my gonvernment bans a game", grow up man.
And besides, you're being very close-minded, you're just crying about not getting a game you want without thinking about it as a whole.
That's particularly obtuse of you. Not only do you misrepresent Beery's statement, but you do so with the petulance worthy of a spoilt child, and completely miss the point of the issue at the same time. Censorship is an insidious practice which actively restricts the rights of citizens. In China the general populace is unable to access what we would consider very basic information, both via the press and the internet. Galileo was censored by the Church for challenging Geocentricity, not because they didn't believe him but simply because they didn't like what he had to say. The infamous Spanish burning of the Maya Codex remains one of the worst criminal acts committed against a people and their cultural heritage.
By sanctioning censorship you are declaring the belief not only that a populace does not have the right to decide whether they want to be voluntarily exposed to various forms of media, but that they are also incapable of making that decision for themselves. The obvious paradox arises that the censors themselves are as equally flawed as those they are 'protecting', and historically have been either government or religious bodies with definite bias to their own agenda (the book burnings in Nazi Germany and Inquisitorial Europe and the Americas are a fine example).
What makes you think that you or anyone has the right to restrict the freedom of individuals to pursue an interest in any subject-matter?
"Hello everyone, I am catalyst8. I have recently mastered the Control plus 'C' key and the Control plus 'V' method. I simply copy whatever the original poster said and make my point in an effort to look smart. But as you can see, I also type with puncuation sincerely and with absolute clarity, therefore does that not make me smart? Am I not begging for attention?"

Dr. Kay, your comparisons list was just plain foolish:
If they wanted to just make a team based game which wasn't centered on killing, you and your team-mates wouldn't all be carrying guns. You work as a team to kill the enemy. (Also, see: Left 4 Dead)
Assassins Creed was you being an ASSASSIN...
Condemned: you used the phrase "despendable homeless", I'm not sure if it's supposed to be dispensable or expendable, but either way that means you're killing them, you are also doing it with a variety of easily obtainable "weapons" such as guillotines from paper cutters, pipes, conduits, axes etc etc
"Hello all, I am known as Medinburgh. Although I do not care for grammar as much, I still make an absolute fuss about it over the interwebz, because when someone says something I don't like, I have nothing intelligent to say, so I just say the opposite of what they said, and point out their grammar errors. Therefore, am I not the greatest debater on the forum?
I have a better idea for you mister 'obtuse' catalyst8 and sir grammalot medinburgh: How about you shutup?
I havent mentioned anything along the lines of whether it should be banned or not, if I did then whatever. its just so annoying that someone makes a huge cry about a game being banned in their country to the extent of feeling 'ashamed' to be in it! and as I have pointed out, its still a moron game regardless. thats my 'public' opinion.
