Psychochaos3 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I haven't met a single person on these forums who doesn't love video games. Jack Thompson hates them. He has sued several game companies because he thinks they cause "violence". Jack Thompson promised to give 10,000 dollars to charity if someone made a game about a person who takes revenge on video game companies. when several were made, he said it was a joke. So, the creators of the webcomic Penny Arcade, gave the money on his behalf .On the check was "For Jack Thompson, because Jack Thompson won't." Jack Thompson tried to get them arrested. To me he seems like a horrible person. Who agrees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davinq Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Jack Thompson hates gays for no reason. Homophobia is gay, no pun intended, and I personally think that his hatefulness is gonna send him to hell. I haven't heard about this video game thing though, what a laugh. If he thinks he's going to do the right thing and try to get rid of violent video games, he really shouldn't do it with so much hate, since in the end he's still promoting it, which = bad.

martmeister Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I'm against him b/c of him blaming a person's violent behavior on the the video game industry and not their social life, upbringing, and personality. It's always somebody else's fault. Serious; society needs to grow the f**k up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthAve Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Video games do nothing wrong to you. I mean, so what if I want to go pimp slap a hooker, than chainsaw a cop? video games didn't make me wanna do thta, I just have issues. Although, when I was younger, I ran into the wall because I thought I was Sonic. I mena, I had on my sonic costume and thought that if I ran i would go super fast but I missed the door and hit the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthAve Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 But gays are FABUOUS! How could he not like them. Somebody needs a hug from Todd Oldham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poopdogjr Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I too totally hate him. But the thing is he thrives on this kind of crap because it gets his name out there. Like those I hate Jack Thompson t-shirts. I think the best thing to do is have game mags and blogs and stuff just ignore this dumbass. Eventually he'll go away. Then we can all hate on him and be happy together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychochaos3 Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 Several examples of heroism against his special brand of evil.

martmeister Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 ^^^and I support any assassination attempts on Chavez. It's not like he's just against Bush and his cronies; he's against ALL Americans. ....I can only imagine that crybaby suing Lucas. Maybe all the rich, intelligent people will go to a country where their talents are appreciated instead of treated as another "comrade." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martmeister Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Indeed. He's already bought loads of weapons, planes, etc. ...Using up all your budget on military while people get just the minimum=Stupid. Using up 10-15% of your budget and boasting about having the most powerful military while your people live comfortably and boasts the largest philantropist population=WHY THE F**K NOT?! If I lived comfortably, I'd probably buy a helicopter just for the hell of it...but certainly not if I had house payments, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss_Mayhem Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I wanna Jack Thompson tee! And I like Tabby's hypothesis very much inded, makes sense. I'd like someone to sit a game console in front of Jack 'ere and make him play some good games, show their not all bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martmeister Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 ^^I'm pretty sure he'll find something negative. Besides, the only games he'd advocate are ones where everyone's holding hands, singing "Kumbaya," smokin' dope, wearing tie-dye, etc. People that suddenly snap are why you should fear the "no violence, ever" guy more than the guy that vents on video games.

Samuel Dravis Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 So when are we forming the lynch mob? I wanna use a big fork. Those are fun. You can pretend to be an evil guy with one too, especially in torchlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
