Watching this man spew his nonsense gives me more violent tendencies than any video game ever could.
Thanks to Jack Thompson, I now want to murder kittens.

Well, to be fair the assailant was at least a CS player this time. But hey, it's not like millions of other people play CS too. Oh wait. . .

What really gets me is the fact that he claims Christianity. He gives Christians a bad name with all his 'Games are against God' speeches.

In a society where games are keeping our youth out of trouble we are going to blame school shootings on video games ok makes a lot of sense.

That nitwit again? Meh, I've been fed up with his politics from day one. I wish he'd STFU already. Everyone knows he's full of hot air and has an agenda.

I mean, he just kept droning on about how "massacres like this can be rehearsed" on games like CS. C'mon, if someone's rehearsing a shooting like this one ANYWHERE with ANYTHING, the person is cracked already!

The Bible contains more explicit content than Counter-Strike. We should ban the Bible, hmkey?

JT is an idiot. He deserves less press, not more.


From: TTUbaker on 16-Feb-2008 at 05:31pm

I actually read this somewhere. This is completely ridiculous. Any time any kind of shooting happens, this guy always seems to pop up to blame video games. If you even took a poll of how many general men in college play video games of some form or another, I would be surprised if there was any that didnt! I can't stand these people that think video games are to blame for atrocities such as this. But whatever, if it helps them sleep at night then good for them.

He makes me want to puke a lung. He can't brain ever, he has the dumb.

Definition of a fanatic: someone who won't change their mind, and won't change the subject...


From: Jodou on 15-Feb-2008 at 10:13pm

I lost it when he said 'simulators called video games'. This guy is even funnier live than on paper. What a strange man.
