I.E. "Before Jack Thompson came into my life, I jerked off to pictures of dead video game bodies every waking second. In school, people shunned me, and I cried alot. Then Mr. Thompson touched me in a very special way with his campaign, and later in the back of his van, and I was saved! Now I am the cool kid! and I never want to touch myself ever again!" I want to see his angry letters. |

| GADZOOKS | While I don't think it makes it violent I do agree that videogames make people into babbling idiots as such seen in threads on this forum. | |

| xbxDaniel | I like how it's assumed that the kid only plays combat games, and there's no mention of what games the kid actually plays. I guess it can be assumed that he plays Metal Gear, though. | |

| the_dudefather | im still convinced he knows exactly what he is talking about, but plays up the evil of games to the media and in an effort to make money (somehow) | |

| camacazio | Jack Thompson sounds like he was a bully in high school and is a total lunatic now. | |

His rambling was just a cheap shot to attack the gaming community

Remember back before video games when no one ever killed themselves and everyone went to Church every Sunday? Man, I miss those days. God bless you, Jack Thomas. |

i wonder if other hobbies like stamp collecting and arts and crafts have their own versions of jack thompson to blame death on. I fail to see how games contributed in ANY way to this persons death, apart from discussing it on a gaming forum with his online friends, its like blaming paper manufacturers if you write a suicide note edit: oh, forgot to say: Fuck you jack thomspon, you self satisfied cash and fame seeking media slut |

Who is to blame From GamingHorizon.com: "Earlier this month, gamer named Mitchell S. with the online screenname "Kuja105" who posts on a few online videogame forums (including GameFaqs.com and MetalGearSolid.org) committed suicide. On January 2 he posted a message in both forums detailing his intent to end his own life, citing overwhelming complications with school and finances. A very brief period of initial disbelief was followed by a barrage of replies from fellow forum members pleading that he not take his life, trying to talk him out of it. For days, no word was heard from Mitchell. Fearing the worst, members and administration from metalgearsolid.org began searching for contact information, spending hours on the phone trying to get in touch with him. Finally on January 4, Ryan K., an administrator at metalgearsolid.org, got him on the phone and spent hours desperately trying to talk him out of it. Sadly, Mitchell soon ended his own life by consuming antifreeze and painkillers. Later, members from the site contacted Mitchell's family to find out the grave news. They reported it to their online community, and posted a tribute to their passed friend on the front page of metalgearsolid.org." Full Report Here. Mr. Jack Thompson then sent in the following letter regarding the situation to MetalGearSolid.org, one of the forums frequented by Mitchell, where he was known well: "Your "gamer friend" will find peace through the Lord, Jesus Christ, but sadly it's too late for that. There is a void in every heart. You can fill it up with the things of God, or the things not of God. This unfortunate soul chose to fill it up with combat games. The playing of these video games is masturbatory activity, meaning senseless self-stimulation. If you gamers could use a dictionary you would know that that term is not necessarily a sexual one. The real tragedy here extends beyond the life and death of this one fellow. There are literally millions of young people and young adults whose despair is deepend by turning to the things of this world and then finding them meaningless. All of you gamers need to put down the controllers and get a life. The utter inanity of the vast majority of postings here shows how vapid "gaming" really is. You are one of the cheerleaders for this wasting of time and the wasting of lives. Do you feel any remorse for having contributed to this "culture of death?" Of course not. Hey, let's all play MORE games, and ignore all the really productive things to do with our lives. Let's pretend to be shocked that a gamer might descend into deeper depression, as his gamer "buds," knowing he was killing himself, couldn't figure out how to call 911 themselves for him. That would have involved leaving their computers I guess. Sad. Sad for all of you." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Man, Jack tompson is a real ashole, the guy committed suicide and he goes and blames it all on video games.
