Dragh: Counterstrike was NOT banned in Germany. I brought up this game in my example of what happened last year here.
IMO, we need more mediation (not meditation <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> - a sort of counselling ) - more training in non-violent methods of solving conflicts. All parts of our society dealing with kids/youths (teachers, educators, parents, libraries, social workers, adults in general, politicians etc.) should pay more heed to this and inform - care to be informed instead of just blaming.
And stricter weapon laws? We've got pretty strict laws here in Germany - and this still happens. No, laws won't help alone, they don't change opinions - we need more.
