On a serious note: There are some politicians in Germany, one in Bavaria especially, who want to ban all PC games because little kids play them, even when they're not allowed to.
They even want to make playing certain games a crime, punishable like watching child pornography.
This hysteria was caused by an amok run in a school last year.

Well the problem with these politicians (mainly CDU/CSU... coincidence??) exists but I think we are a long way from them ruining our hobby. The 2 high-school shootings in Germany in the last years were a sad thing but both times violent computer games seemed more like a symptome than the cause of the act. (As far as I could tell from the statements the shooters left)
The main problem are the parents. But I guess when parents are playing the games with the kids that is different from kids not getting atteiontion from their parents and playing these games.
