Germany Places Command & Conquer on Restricted List

heli0 writes "CNet is reporting that Germany has placed EA's newest Command & Conquer game 'Generals' on its restricted list, which means it may not be advertised or displayed on shelves although it may be kept under store counters and sold to adults. The reason according to Elke Monssen-Engberding, director of the Ministry for Family Affairs: 'It portrays war as the only way to resolve conflicts.'"

Re:Do you remember Kosovo?

But now that the USA is threatened, rather than some cute ethnic minority, oh no we musn't defend ourselves.

Threatened??
By who? Iraq didn't mention attacking the US? Funding Al Quaïda? Look at your "allies" in Kuweit and UAE.

Defend??
You're attacking pal...

Blame it all on yourselves if things like 9/11 happened, after all, who gave weapons and money to Al Quaïda? Who gave money and weapons to Iraq?

Peace will be achieved when the US will stop playing the bully-boy on the international playground.

We did EXACTLY THE SAME THING in the late 90's with Kosovo, and no-one was whining then!

Kosovo was entirely different. First, the internal community intervened AFTER the LOCAL conflict took place, to settle things down, after ONU decided it. It was an international effort.
In the case of Iraq, the US and UK unilateraly decided to attack a defenseless country.
Yes you hear me, defenseless. How fair is a war against someone you have spent the 10 years inventorying their military resources?

Hmm, what's the reason again? Weapons of mass destructions? Where are they? if Iraq has them, why didn't they shoot them at the US soldiers?
May I also kindly remind you that the only country to ever have used the atomic bomb is the US (aside from tests, that is).

I sincerely hope that Iraq beats the sh!t out of the US (sorry for being rude, here, no words can express my disgust at the US today).

Instead of making war when/where it's not needed, get your government to give 5 times more money to educate the children you do this for (rather than the DoD), so they can make educated decisions rather than relying on war mongering power hungry stupid politicians like this is the case now...

Sad?

Eh, Germany is just sad that with the latest C&C they arent part of it, this wouldnt have happened if they'd been given a role like before. They coulda been the elite drunken guy that run screaming from the burning buildings of the GLA.
