Germany to ban Paintball

Germans are weird though. The reason the G-Con for PAL Playstations was blue was that the German government thought people might try to use it in armed robberies. It's also the Germans' fault that Li Long used a three point staff rather than nunchucks in Soul Blade.

As Mush says, this is just a bit of headline grabbing posturing by the government, playing on people's fears. Chances are it won't even get passed or it'll get lost in the process somewhere.

I fail to see what drinking has to do with anything though. Levels of alcoholism are much lower in Germany than the US with your retarded drinking age. In fact, levels of alcoholism are lower pretty much everywhere than the US, except here of course but then drinking is our national sport and everyone ignores the legal age limit anyway.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That same WHO report states the alcohol dependence percentages on page 34 though. USA is 7.7%, Germany only 3.8%, UK 4.7%.

Whilst we might drink more over here, we can handle our booze.

And I think it's the whole WW2 thing that makes Germans so uptight about appearing to be a violent nation. They're rather concious of their militaristic image so try to shy away from anything that might make them look the slightest bit warmongery.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
