German Gov To Ban Paintballing After Shooting

Posted by samzenpus on from the we-all-fall-down dept.

whoever57 writes "In response to the school shooting in March in which 16 people were killed, the German Government plans to ban all games in which players shoot at each other with pellets. The rationale for this is that 'paintball trivializes violence and risks lowering the threshold for committing violent acts.' Fines could be up to 5,000 euros."

    When I was 15 or so, I wanted to play paintball. My parents were initially resistant to the idea. They thought it was militant and would be a poor influence on me....

    Paint ball? MILITANT?

    Geez, are you sure the man you call "Dad" is really your dad?

    He sounds like a castrated wuss.

    I bet you look like the milkman.

    the welts those things leave don't let the memory fade

    You sound like a wuss, too.

    Awww, did da widdle paint ball hurt? Did you get a boo-boo?

    You're pathetic. A two-bit spineless waste of protoplasm.

    You and your whole damn sitzpinkler jellyfish family need to be lifted out of your shelted existence and be transplanted to, say, Somalia. You REALLY need to learn that life can be rough.

    Paintball militant? Leaves welts that "don't let the memory fade"?

    Grow the fuck up, you pussy.
