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?

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.
To: offmainstreet
HAH! It’s the Americans who pacified the Germans.

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

I blame Adolph Hitler on the Germans.
“Seig Heil” isn’t an American invention.

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.

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

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.
