Germany embarks on total and complete ban of killer games

yeesh.
thats pretty bad.
I could see some kind of Counter-Strike Underground...fun.

But to be honest, I have a relative idea of what it takes for kids (columbine and VA tech, for example) to go absolutely bonkers and shoot up a school. They are tired of this or that, their girl just left them, social outcasts, whatever, they get the crazy idea to shoot everyone who has caused problems for them. they use the games astraining more likely than not. since I cant ask any of them. Its a psychological issue. I played every Grand Theft Auto since GTA 3, and I still dont feel the urge to go out and kill people at random.

Frankly, a ban on all "killer" video games is a little extreme. There's easier ways to go about this. Metal detectors in school doors is a start, we had liaison police officers at my old high school. It wouldn't be too much to throw a police officer or two into a school. Perhaps better counselors? Do schools there even HAVE counselors? A ban on all "killer" games is a bit extensive. That, and you just can't get all of them.
