I hope this goes through. I can imagine a world where I drive a truck to and from Canada, moving contraband blu-ray discs over the border... actually, THAT would make a good game.

Oh man, he must have thought that when Obama told people to put away the video game controllers that he was anti gayme, when the guy has a Wii in the white house.

Does Jack really believe he'll succeed doing something like this? I mean why would Obama or any high official ever destroy the video game industry.... That's like tons of endless tax-money lost right there.
Aim your crusade towards bad parents or go try banning weapons like guns. That's what really promotes violence. A gun in your hand makes you feel superior and powerful; gives anyone the ability to cause evil cause all you're running on is on artificial guts...
Games?..... c'mon............................................................................................................... they're just dull, plastic, shurikens. XP
For the record, I have ALWAYS been in favor of violent video games. I've been playing Call of Duty 4 the past few months, and loving every minute of it.
I think this guy is a bit crazy. I can't bring myself to hate him anymore. He's become a parody of himself. That or he just wants attention, and I don't want to give him any.
Jack Thompson fills me with a mixed feeling of pity and general annoyance. He's clearly off his rocker, enough so to get disbarred and still not know its time to give up the ghost. This letter clearly outlines the viewpoint of someone who truly believes the "murder simulators" are solely responsible for the actual, terrible violence of multiple school shootings. He also apparently believes that clicking a mouse and shooting a gun are equal enough that if you become proficient in one, you'll become equally skilled in the other. It is a world view that is detached from reality that it is hard for to get really angry at him.
In related news, he should probably see an orthodontist.
I mean, these countless murderings that might be related to video games makes the tobacco and alcohol industry look like a bunch of Mother Theresa clones.
Jack Thompson also writes impeccably politely to the president of the friggin' United States. And, apparently, he's a father. Wouldn't you just love to be one of Jack Thompson's kids?
