to make this clearer: i wouldn't quite call the Dems a left-wing party. nor are they repesenting left-wing views. to my understanding, politicians regulating the free market in favour of Big Money should be called right-wing. to make this clear, too: in that actual german case the rightists want to regulate media in favour of arms manufacturers.
people, could we switch back to normal? we hear proposals to outright ban all computer and video games from rightwing politicians all over the world. germany also has it's share of conservative fundamentalists and some sensationalist yellow press, while the majority rejects either the ban of games, of abortion or of free speech. on the other hand, some people even enjoy watching snuff videos. are snuff videos free speech? should it be legal to make a business from it? no. are 'manhunt' and 'postal' the right games for a 9-year-old? no. there should be big fat labels on the box, cd and starting screen of games, showing the appropriate user age, so parents can decide. and exactly this is what the EU is trying to achieve these days: continent-wide rules for age labels. which is good. no matter what rightwing nutheads are trying to tell us.
