This is great - German researchers are putting all of the blame for the existence of violent video games on the shoulders of America and the Army. Indirectly, they're saying America's culture is responsible for German kids picking up firearms and shooting their schoolmates.

It couldn't be some other violent roots in German culture that leads to kids killing each other, could it?

How do you say "a few bad apples" auf Deutsch?

[lormand]

I blame all gay dancing on the Germans.

[BenLurkin]

SURE...........

einige schlechte Äpfel

Thanks babelfish.

Yes, history has shown,no violence existed in Germany before video games.

Ein bissien schreickliche Apfeln.

close enought for gov't work and a public school education.

Hey Germans, if you don’t like ‘em, don’t buy US video games for your kids! No one is holding a gun to your head. Stop trying to shuck off your own responsibility on your usual scapegoat, the US.

HAH! It’s the Americans who pacified the Germans.

Just another thing Obama has to apologize for when he’s in Germany in June.

[unkus]

I blame Adolph Hitler on the Germans.

“Seig Heil” isn’t an American invention.

[AnnGora]

The Germans have always been such a peace loving people.

A great man once said of the Germans that

“they are either at your feet or at your throat”.

Anyone care to name that man?

Any idea when the socialist queers in Europe are going to get over this fad of blaming America for everything?

I’ll say within a month of a vocal, stalwart, America loving Commander in Chief with actual gonadal mass and the historical intellect to understand and love his country for the historically unprecedented beneficient power that it is.

Churchill.

[allmendream]

You are correct sir!

[Signalman]

Winston Churchill.

[Apercu]

That was the inspiration for Mike Meyer’s character “Dieter” on SNL. Hilarious.

[allmendream]

You are also correct sir.

I knew FR wouldn't disappoint. :)

Never? Psych 101 says that losers need to project blame for their failures on others rather that accept responsibility themselves.

Amazing that Germany, built by defeating Austria and France in two 19th Century wars, who started two world wars in the 20th Century would accuse a democratic country responsible for defeating German fascism of being a violent society.
