Jack thompson takes on Halo 3 and Big B

Jack has totally lost it and delusional for three reasons. First he hasn't won a single case and he thinks he can take on MS? Second how is Halo 3 a "hyperviolent" game? And third how is MS responsible for their games being sold to underage kids and not the individual retail outlets? He has absolutly no idea what he is talking about.

 Questions for Jack: How is using a gamepad even close to firing a real gun? How is Halo 3 "hyperviolent"? How are parents not (at least partly) responsible? How do you sleep at night?

[QUOTE="Rossdaboss777"]Lol this guy needs to dieFlawlessSeasons

careful, he'll read that and interpret it as a threat to his life and call the FBI on Gamespot/CNet just like he did for Kotaku.

Who the *** is Jack Thompson?

I bet he's the guy that shot Uncle Ben.

they need to stop accusing video games, i did some research and wrote a paper a few weeks ago on how the violent crime rates(with people aged 12 and older) have dropped drastically since the release of the Playstation one...and it has continued to decline as video games have become more popular... instead of thinking of games as a source, they might want to consider it a cure...a55a55inx

How do you figure?  How do you figure games have decreased violent crimes?  That logic doesn't work. 

He really shouldn't be picking on Microsoft. I mean does he not know how big they are? Its not as if hes sueing the local game shop. They laugh at his law suit and then sue for every penny hes got and kick him out into the streets like a bum.

And anyway, Halo 3? Violent? I'm not a huge fan of Halo but its not violent, just harmless fun. There are much worse games with lower age ratings out there. 

Lol this guy needs to dieRossdaboss777

You took my words.

He made Best Buy change, but does he know who he is threatening?!?! Microsoft can make him disappear.Light_Destroyer

LOLOLOLOLOL OMFG FUNNY SH**!! Someone should so make a video about M/S (and prob whole gaming community) simply makin Mr.Thompson "disappear". Lol man 

They should a send guy in Spartan Armor to come "negotiate" with him.

lol! that would be hilarious..i could imagine that in the court room. the judge is asking the MC questions about violence in his games and hes just shaking his head and not talking. THEN!  all the sudden he pulls out a plasma grenade and sticks that noob jack thompson...game over

Who the *** is Jack Thompson?

I bet he's the guy that shot Uncle Ben.

How do you figure? How do you figure games have decreased violent crimes? That logic doesn't work.

did you read his post at all. he said he did a freaking research project on it

lol, well I wanna know where it said video games decrease violent tendencies in people 12 and older.  He said violence

has decreased since the ps1's release, but that doesn't mean the two were connected.  Sheesh, tons of shows, books, 

foods, whatever have been released, that doesn't mean anything is connected.  That's why I said his logic doesn't

work, because it doesn't.  Come back when you get to High School. 

its the parents responsibility to make sure a kid not at least 17 years old doesn't play this game not bill gates.  Its the retailers job not to sell rated M games to kids.  Bill Gates has nothing to do with it.  its the parents choice on whether or not their child plays this game.  sirk1264

Exactly.  Jack may be an idiot, but he's a lawyer, he knows who his enemies are, this letter is complete bull****,

but everyone posting is an even bigger idiot for getting riled up over some made up story.

how do you know its a made up story. just because you havnt seen any proof of it doesnt mean it hasnt happened. i mean that would be like me saying that it never rains at night because i never see it rain at night

 OH MY GOD!!! Are you serious HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!  This is the funneist thing I've ever heard of buddy.  I hope you don't have to do a research paper, or else you're gonna fail.  That like saying,  Last night, it rained.  It didn't rain during the day.  I conclude that it only rains at night.  See how that doesn't work?  

He's using circular logic, and that doesn't work.  Look it up.  My god.

I don't know for a fact that it's made up, but without a link, I can only take it as such.  True, there is no proof that it didn't

happen, but that's now how it works.  He posted it, the burden of providing proof is his.  A lawyers job is to prove some did

something, not everyone else in the world DIDN'T do it.  He posted it, he should provide some proof that it's true.

Actually, that's not even the issue, the issue, is that everyone else, is getting themselves all riled up over a damn

rumor on the internet, calling the guy a lawyer, for a comment that, for all we know, is bull.  Why don't we jump to some

more conclusions while we're at it.  I heard Bill Gates say he hated mexicans, let's flame him for that while we're at it.

True, it may be made up bull crap, but who cares, I'm gonna get pissed at him anyway!!!

heh, let me ask you something.  Do you think that video games have decreased the amount of violence in people 12 and older?  You're right, maybe it does, maybe it doesn't, but for him to say one affects the other, that's bull.  Just because an event happens during the same time as something else, does NOT mean the two are interconnected.  You wanna know the thousands of things that happened around 9/11?  That doesn't mean they are connected, that logic doesn't work.

Why is he picking on MS for halo 3...hyperviolent? Were:lol: What is so hyperviolent about Halo 3? or any other Halo game? GTA 4 maybe but Halo 3?

I'm not saying that the two(video games and violent crimes) were connected. I'm saying that Jack Thompson's claim of how video games are the cause of violent crimes can't be credible, because the crime rate has actually declined continually since the playstation release. The media is making people think that video games have increased the violence in society, but it has decreased since it has become more popular. ill try to find the links and post them to prove my point.

here is the link for the site i used for my paper.

I do not know if Thompson has ever fired a real gun or not, but it is a lot different than firing a video game gun.FearNinja

exactly, how can a videogame make a person more skilled at shooting a gun, i doubt hes ever fired a real gun as well...jackies a moron 

Lol this guy needs to dieRossdaboss777

you can say that again..

You said instead of thinking of it as a source, we should think of games as a cure, and commented on how the release of the ps1, coincited with a decrease in violent crimes. 

i'm so sick and tired of this guy, he needs a new hobby, someone should melee him with a limited edition copy of Halo 3 for mentioning the name of this sacred game.
