   Common Denominator

   Im their search for a common denominator, I wonder how far they looked.
   
   Video games are an easy perp.
   
   Did they look at what prescriptions they were on, or had just stopped taking? Probably not.

   Evil Carbon Based Life

   I bet they also all:
   slept so lets ban beds and time off
   breathed so lets ban oxygen
   were made of carbon as inanimate objects can't cause violence they can only be tools

   banning things?

   The Nazi's gained power by banning things like Jews, free thought, free speech, free press, free association, democratic elections, who knew where it could lead. The Nazi's did, they called it the master plan. The British are starting nibble at the edges of this same concept. Anyone care to guess where it could lead?

   Re:

   It's slightly different than that. The Germans are trying to stay on this side of the Fascist Line, but their overzealous methods of trying to keep violence in all its forms away from people is doing nothing more than building resentment in the population.
   
   If they don't watch out, a young charismatic leader will emerge decrying the oppressive government while at the same time empowering youth to rise up for their beliefs. Sound familiar?

   Re: Common Denominator

   That's what I keep telling people that ask me about it. I was personally on anti-depressants and had to stop them (weened) since they were messing with my head. My family saw the changes and called my doctor and he suggested for me to be weened off of them since stopping them all of a sudden can be dangerous...for yourself and others. They seriously need to do some more research on those drugs. The sad part is that they are now being made available to children under 12. So I expect to see more suicides and mass killings from even younger people.

   Re: Evil Carbon Based Life

   In the Judge Dredd comics, there was a story arc about some Judges from another dimension who decided that, since all crime is commited by living beings, life itself is a crime. So they killed everyone and everything on their planet, including themselves (they found a way to function after death - psionics are real in the Judge Dredd universe). Then they tried to move on to other dimensions, starting with ours...
   
   I guess Judge Dredd was never very popular in Germany.

    German Police

    If the German Police and EU governments think that banning video games is going to solve their violence problems it won't. The one's doing the violence are not playing video games.

    Supervision

    Banning video games will be hard to implement. I think parents should be cautious enough what video games they'll purchase for their kids and they also need supervision while playing to avoid these crimes.

    They should take a statistics class. It might help. Or not.
