All that I can say is that scapegoating has been an international affair for years now. It seems like the world has just decided that it's easier to ban stuff then it is to get to the root of the issues.

Desperate people may try anything, no matter how stupid it looks to others.

Before you laugh yourself silly at them you might wish to read this:

Dang! This site doesn`t permit commas in the URL, does it? Just copy all of it and check it out.

Not law, only 'voluntary' censorship

I think their problem isn't the video games...I think it's more of economic issues which is leading to the crimes...but hey like some other folke all know, you can't point out the obvious to politicians...
