"Jack Thompson is an idiot. His proposal to create a video game where vid game execs are murdered completely undermines him. If he's so against violence why would he create a violent video game."can't you do that in postal 2? you can go into the studio of Running With Scissors (makes of postal 2) and kill them all?
I will never listen to a person that uses bully tactics if they don't get their way or someone disagrees with them. Jack Thompson is like Bill O'Reily, sans soapbox.
The problem I have with his logic is this:His presumption is that a given person, given a gun, and a copy of GTAIII, will, after playing the game, go shoot someone.And his solution? Get rid of the game, as the gun certainly had nothing to do with it.
"Can someone please tell me how this snippet is relevant?"It's relevant because it's not. (The point is, folks like Jack don't use relevant correlations)
"You've never heard a song that made you sad? Never cried at the end of a movie? Ever? Not even at the end of Return of the King when the King says, "my friends, you bow to no one?" And all the king's men bowed to the little hobbits?"Spoiler!
