If Jack Tohmpson has kids, I feel bad for them

I know he has a son. He used him to prove a point that the ESRB system doesn't work by sending him into Best Buy and buying Halo3 and Bioshock without an ID....RPG10080

He probably wanted the games so he did that so no one would see him buying it :lol:

Well, I think they are happy. They probably love their father, and stick with him all the way.

But I still think the guy needs to loosen up...

....lol he does have kids....he even made one of his kids to go buy bioshock at walmart and he is not old enough to buy mature rated games. outbreak201

Lately I've been trying to ignore him, he blamed the NIU shooter (of course) on video games, but there was no evidence that the kid had even played a video game in his life, if he is going to just start making stuff up...oh wait he's been doing that for years.

I think Jack Thompson is a secret gaming addict. Hes just putting up this whole charade to keep this under wrap.ExodusV2

Exactly. He's a hypocrite! :P

yes i remember this article i was about to post comment about this lol but you beat me to it

i would beat there ass down.solidgamer

Why? It's not like they have anything to do with what their dad does. People like you baffle me completely. It's like you have no concept of logic whatsoever, and respond to anything you don't like with a violent impulse, even when something is only remotely related to what you don't like.

Well, Jack's children could play video games at a friend's house without their father knowing (if they have friends, that is...)

He does have children.

So they don't get to play violent video games. Big deal. Lots of kids grow up with far less than they would have.pianist

It's more than that. He has used his son for his own campaign. The boy was sent to a Best Buy or some other big retailer to buy an M game for the sole purpose of declaring their immorality. That's like rubbing your balls on a public urinal to get herpes and then blaming the McDonalds that had the urinal for giving you herpes.

Wait he does have kids?

You're telling me that someone actually had sex with jack thompson? - and produced offspring?

Yeah, a prostitute he had sex with probably forgot to take her "pills".

poor children.

No, it's not really the same thing. Most people won't rub their balls on a urinal. But lots of underage kids will try to buy age-restricted video games. And in this instance, I think Thomspon has a point. I mean, what's the point of having ESRB ratings if no one even pays attention to them anyways?

Because the parents are suppose to have some resposiblity. If I was a parent that did not want my kid playing M rated games and I came home to see my kid playing one I would simply return it or throw it away.

The government or retail stores should not have to take responsibility for someones kid the parent should do what parents are suppose to do. If anything there needs to be a more active advertising of some sort to educate parents on what ESRB is and what kinds of ratings they give there games so they can make a responsible choice when it comes to purchasing the game.

Do you honestly believe that you can rely on all parents to be vigilant and dedicated? Give me a break, dude. There are lots of people in the world who just aren't cut out to be parents. That's why you get so many messed up or unsuccessful children. The government takes responsibility for this because the general population simply can't be trusted. As for education, I'm all for it - but I don't think it would make a difference in the lives of parents who never gave a damn about their kids in the first place.
