    if you can bring yourself to watch it, wait a few mins until the old guy in the beginning is done with his boring and retarded introduction*. I still dont really know what its about after having watched bits of it, but its obvious that thompson is a hardcore christian.

    soooo in the name of the lord, enjoy the movie.

    "the gentleman (thompson) was driving his car in miami listening to the radio and then...and now get this, the dj of the radio station, the dj...actually...over the radio.. solicited young people, young kids, to come to the radio station to engage in homosexual................sex. Now HE COULD HARDLY BELIEVE IT. Did he... hear it correctly???? So he decided to get his recorder and record it. And yes, he heard correctly."

    The thing that always astounds me about him is that he fails to realise that themajority of people on the internet regard him as a total prick with hte intellectual credibility of pondlife, which when you consider the average internet IQ is pretty astounding.

    Why do Christians always get the worst kind of religious zealoths, while Muslim wackos try to rain missiles at everybody else, the average Christian nutjob tries to crumble his own society.

    And I just read the GC Advance article and is Jack actually proposing that game companies make a violent game, only with the target being game stores and game developers?

    So violence against some people no matter how innocent, is a good thing? Man, that guy is seriously twisted, and I wouldn't be suprised if some day he himself attacked some game store clerk or something.

    has it been manfucatured, published and sold ? because that WAS one of the requirements....

    I'll write a check for $10,000 [...] if any video game company will create, manufacture, distribute, and sell a video game in 2006 like the following: [...]

    Or perhaps not. "Jack actually just called and screamed at me for a couple minutes," Krahulik said. "He said if I email him again I will 'regret it'. What a violent man."

    UGH. Its typical christian hypocrisy.

    Update in the Strickland vs. Sony case taking place in Alabama, where the families of three law enforcement officers slain by a young gunman are seeking money from a host of defendents, including Sony, Gamestop, and WalMart. Their claims (or more correctly, their attorney Jack Thompson's claims) are that the gunman was programmed by and/or under the influence of the video game GTA 3 which caused him to commit the crime.

    In a move that should surprise no one, Judge Moore revoked attorney Jack Thompson's Pro Hac Vice license to practice law in Alabama for the case in question. The Judge told Jack Thompson that under Alabama law, he could not withdraw from the case. He then essentially turned around and kicked Jack off the case warning him that should he ever attempt to seek a temporary license to practice law in the state again, he would have to attach the ruling statement to the application. Essentially the judge determined that Mr. Thompson violated professional ethics in the case. The judge supported his reasons with an 18 page ruling.

    gamepolitics.com has some discussion going on the topic (mostly a lot of cheering), and there's a good article on the story at the Tuscaloosa News (which will require registration to read.

    This is, of course, all sideshow activity to the meat of the case. In addition to filing the motion to have Jack Thompson removed from the case (granted as noted above), they have also filed a motion requesting the case be dimissed for lack of merit. In the past, when similar cases have been filed (of the "games made him do it" type), they have been dimissed on the grounds that games, like books and movies, are covered by the First Amendment and our right to free expression.

    Jack Thompsons stance against "everything that is harmful to children" might be everything if you really think about it. If children are so suggestible as he makes them out to be, then I'd say that even normal games like super mario bros. and zelda are bad for children, their minds are clouded and they don't know what is real and what is not. So why he just attacks violent games? My money is on what Izuno said, he just doesn't care about the cause, he saw a good market for a loud lawyer that represents the "masses against heartless game companies that don't care about little children."

    Now this is the part where I say "damn, he is actually smarter than he looks" but I know that is not the case so I woun't waste my time by making such statement. Jack is just very lonely old man.
