"Violent video games could be outlawed across the European Union" says the article. "Funny" says I. I believe it impossible to ban Violent Games. Unfortunatly for the Government and whoever elses wants to try, People love killing things.... We can't do it in life... unless you join the army of course, but Video Games allow you to do this freely. Basically... People love Violent Games. "You" , if your reading this and are disagreeing even the slightest, may not... but the "WORLD" does. Almost every game in existence has a small amount of violence in it...except games such as Sesame Street... Who plays Sesame Street? NO ONE! Even Sponge bob has violence in it... Jumping on peoples heads? Evil Villains?. But guess what? People Love it.
Ok... Supposedly Germany is so interested in Violent Games, because a 18 year old named "Sebastian Sobbe" shot up his school and injured 37 people and then killed himself. He also supposedly played a lot of Counter-Strike. But why blame the video game? Is it Counter-Strike's fault his parents didnt give him depression medication? NO! A large amount of the world plays video games. Do all of them shoot and kill people? no... just a few people who were probably crazy before playing video games.. killed people. But it seems the Governments need something to blame as usual.

I agree. Even though Counter-Strike may be a little influential to Sebastian Sobbe, it's up to the the parents to KNOW when something's up with their kid. The government shouldn't accuse just only the game but instead, should focus more on the internal and mental condition of Sobbe and what caused him to act that way. The mind can cuase harm if there's no one listening.
Nice observational comment chun2085(girl who sits behind us?).
All I gotta say is that we're making blogs after this whole project... ranting about video game. The only thing we probably do right.
LOL
