Germany To Ban Paintball?

What!? lol Banning paintball? On the grounds that it promotes people to shoot each other in real life!? And laser tag too? Holy fuck, how many happy healthy relationships have started with a "laser tag" first date! lol Wow, you know, the world is really fucked. It's not the "Mad Max" fucked we thought it would be, its the "PC" fucked we all secretly dreaded. I've no interest in paintball or laser tag but this is truly the stupidest reasoning I've heard in a long time. As I commented on this elsewhere....

"They will ban football next, then all sport as they "heighten ones competitiveness in an aggressive manner".

Banning a social activity that discourages a person from feeling alone and isolated, is hardly going to stop an anti-social Billy No-Mates from going crazy with his grand daddies arsenal now is it?

Speaking as someone who has no interest in paintball, I hope whoever came up with this "banning" idea has their throat slit with a bread knife."

The key point above is the fact that these are "social activities". Crazy kiddy gunmen are generally those who feel the world is against them. Sure you get the odd "American Psycho" type killer every now and again, but paintball isn't whats put him over the edge.

You want to do something that stops people going on a rampage? STOP OVER REPORTING KILLINGS IN THE MEDIA! Psycho-loner-kids feel empathy towards other psycho-loner-kids, and if they see how much attention a killing spree gets them, well fuck it, they is gonna get their 15 minutes of fame too bitch!

Christ! Germany hasn't been the same since Hitler died. But hang on, England are thinking of doing the same now too. Ha ha... the world is fucked!
