This finding at Harvard by Kimberly Thompson... enhances even more our case in Alabama. This shows the broad deception by the industry in marketing and selling harmful video games to kids. Note also that Vice City, which is the game the killer in Alabama played, is one of the games studied at Harvard. Hooah! Life is good. My future is so bright I've got to wear shades. Jack Thompson PS: I understand the First Amendment, and you don't.

Game Politics Is Utterly Wrong About This Bill
Dennis McCauley either can't read or doesn't want to read. The bill, as proposed, has TWO separate parts. The sexual material harmful to minors part (the porn part), simply brings video games into the definition of sexual material harmful to minors, by virtue of sexual content, that all other products distributed to minors in Oklahoma must adhere to.
The other portion deals with violent material that is harmful to minors, which can include video games. There is absolutely NO equating in the bill of violence with porn. Just the opposite is the case. Sexual material that is harmful to minors is one category (40+ states have such laws on the books), and then the violent section of the bill deals with mature games that are clearly inappropriate and thus harmful to minors by virtue of the violence, not the porn.
Dennis, get a lawyer. You need one to read bills, apparently.

Dennis McCauley won't report the truth, because he can't handle the truth, and it is this: The video game industry is on the ropes in a backlash by parents against it, and Jack Thompson has been a huge part of that success, despite the death threats, the baseless Bar complaints, and nonjournalists who run sites like this.

Reading Is Something You Gamers Might Want to Try Sometime
The FBI and Secret Service both found that immersion of the perps in violent entertainment, particularly video games, led to a number of the school killings. It was the one common denominator. Those were government findings, not findings of some anti-gun nut who doesn't seem to get the point that all the gun laws in the country didn't keep the guns out of the hands of the perps.
Sorry you can't grasp the point. Every other adult did. Jack ThompsonJack Thompson
