Germany banning Paintball

[Zombie_Goasts]

Wow, really? Overreacting much?

Germany sucks. And they were just barely recovering from the whole World War 2 thing, when they sucked a lot.

They really must hate paintball huh? Looks like they're blaming paintball on their problems. And now they're going to wipe out paintball. Almost as if it's a, I don't know, Holocaust against paintball? Sound familiar maybe?

Germans must love blaming their problems on completely harmless things and then brutally eleminating those innocent things. I guess it's a cultural thing.

Don't steryotype. The NAZIS caused the holocaust. It wasn't the country of Germany. The KKK were American, does that mean you would say that all Americans are white supremacists that burn crosses everywhere? (I do agree that banning paintball is pointless.)

 

[Plauged1]

Paintballs don't even hurt. Yes I have been shot three times with 2 different paintball guns and it actually made me laugh cause they worked perfectly and yet they tickled. This a bit of a over reaction.

If you ever get hit with a frozen paintball in the neck, come back and say that...

I got hit in the shoulder with three; I still laughed. I guess I am very resilient or something. Maybe the guns sucked? I will try to get hit in the kidneys next time, see if that gets different results...

 

[Good morning blues]

This is the dumbest shit ever, and I would hope that it gets soundly voted down. I mean, laser tag too? Really?

 

[Gamer137]

So... did the Germany occupation do TOO much?

 

[lonercs]

Paintball! That's it? NO!!! They also banning laser-tag! Freaking laser-tag! At least paint balls can damage property and hurt those not wearing protection. But freaking laser-tag? It shoots a beam at you, lights flash, you wait a few seconds, then get your revenge. Wow, that's just retarded. This ban won't last long. This is the few times that I say that I'm glad I'm American. Many Americans are retarded but, this is just an EPIC FAIL!

Just watch, NERF guns are next.

 

[Agrosmurf]

Wow alright, let's ban any sort of simulation of any illigal thing! Oh, these people are shooting paint at 280 FPS!! oh-ah-my-ah-god. it must be stopped because it will save lives... take our word for it, shooting paint in a simulation is the first step to taking seventeen peoples lives including themselves! it makes sense!

 

[Agrosmurf]

I just got back this last weekend from super-game... yeah 6 Bloody welts to prove it... they can hurt like a ***** from close range.

 

[Satki]

I remember once, at a paintball place I went to, the guy who ran it (an ex army sniper) spent his time filling the gun with marbles and shooting pigeons... there were holes through some sheet metal as a result.

So yeah, I guess they can be dangerous.

But if they do ban them, why not just ban personally owned paintball guns, and allow recreational sites to still continue...

 

[JoshasorousRex]

So they are saying paintball is why we have school shootings? That is stupider than blaming videogames

I was kidding, I was kidding. I don't actually think that this act represents the ideologies every of single German person. I was just pointing out the uncanny and comical-to me atleast-parallel between this and 1930's Nazi Germany.

Damn, a guy can't make a joke around here...

 

[oliveira8]

I think Germany is trying to avoid starting world war 3 at all costs by making the entire population a bunch of retards...


Nuh uh! Violent games are bad! Banned!
Nuh uh! Paintball is bad! Banned
Nuh uh! Cooking requires knifes and knifes kill people! Banned!

tsk tsk tsk

Nuh uh! Doing anything requires thought, and people could think about killing people! Banned!

...Let us hope it never gets that bad.

Quickly! We must install Politic police and nofree thought police on the street! And burn every book that offers free thinking! And make sure there is only one party so that people dont start thinking of funny stuff! And..HEY WAIT A SECOND! This allready happened 70 years ago!

So are they gonna ban Air Soft as well? That's lame.

I always found things like air soft as a way to reduce the urge to cause violence, not increase it. To quote Yahtzee "Nothing blows off steam like blowing off somebody's nadges". By removing the ways people calm down I can only assume the violence will increase which will confuse the hell out of the government.

 

[levelone]

Well there are two sides to this argument

but pro or anti I don't see the point of making paintball illegal

Anyone defying the proposed new rule could face a 5,000-euro (£4,474) fine.

Berlin also plans to ban games like paintball and laser-tag that simulate killing on the grounds that they trivialise and encourage violence.

Relatives of the victims say the new measures do not go far enough.
