German gamers face jail for acts of virtual violence

You're still not getting it. Those 2 items - the gunman story and the video game - are not interchangable. The Spiegel homepage is set up somewhat like a newspaper: The first 30 items are the headline section. Below are the regular back sections of the magazine: Panorama, Politics, Sport, Economy Science, Culture and NETWORLD. 'Left Behind' did not appear in the headline section. It appeared in the networld section. So your whole point with the gaza story is totally irrelevant, because the gaza story is not networld news anyway. I'm definitely full of shit because this must be the third time I'm trying to tell you that. I'm wasting my time on a moron, that is even worse than being one myself. So, this is my last post on this topic.

Can I still play Flight Simulator after 7 beers?

You're probably right. I just don't get it.

Why don't they just virtually convict the virtual offenders and then after eight or ten virtual appeals have a virtual death sentence? If they want to make it really painful and cruel, they could have a "botched" virtual death sentence.

Let the punishment fit the crime!
