GTA is a Sony/Take-Two game. It was made by Take-Two exclusively for Sony's Playstation 2. Sony has led the planet in the distribution of mainstream porn. I don't have time to document it for you. As for the offensiveness of the Pearl Harbor comment, it's accurate and it's needed. The Japanese have a contempt for our culture which is patent. There [sic] dumping of garbage into our culture is a slow motion version of Pearl Harbor.
Thompson quotes
No, I Have Lots of Time, Because I Don't Waste It Playing Video Games By the way, Hal Halpin did NOT testify before this Subcommittee. That is a total fabrication by Dennis McCauley. Hal Halpin was not on the witness list, and McCauley knows it. So this site not only censors the news, it makes it up.
Thompson
Radical, fascist Islamists recruit to their cause partly with the cry that American pop culture is raw sewage flowing to the rest of the world from a corrupted West. Take-Two helps cut the legs off the rebuttal to that argument. That is precisely why your corporate legs must be cut off




Thompson Jack quotes
But I'm sick and tired of your being sick and tired... about our tearing apart your "hobby." So, what's your hobby? Selling mature-rated games to children?
This is what it's about. Open up your eyes and read the story.
This is not about taking adult games away from adults. It's about taking adult games away from kids.
If you don't understand that, then you simply have not been paying attention.
The ESA and the ESRB have been saying kids shouldn't buy these games. Fine. Spitzer is going to hold them to that, and they're squealing like stuck pigs because they never meant it. They lied.
If your "hobby" is to engage in commercial fraud, then you're right: Spitzer is out to take your hobby away. If your hobby is playing these games, and you're over 17 then relax, will you? You're acting paranoid.

You've been pwned.
Jack Thompson quotes
Dennis McCauley has not deleted the above use of obscenity. Shame on him. If Dennis dares--dares--ban me from posting at this site again, then he'll be in more trouble than he already is. Jack Thompson
PS: I'm not a troll. I actually use my real name, unlike you cowards, and I am affecting, by your own admission here, the video game vs. kids debate. Get used to it. It's called the real First Amendment. Jack Thompson

Sonny, if you have been to an evangelical church lately, then you know there is nothing 'organized' about this religion. Hooah!
Thompson Jack quotes
Of course I'm right!I've been on national tv now about 100 times. Obviously the First Amendment protects me. It does not protect the marketing of adult-rated murder simulators to kiddies like you.
Thompson
You can't even regulate your own thought. Senator Lieberman proved in January that roughly 40% of the time IDs are not checked. How bizarre that you would think your single, isolated experience is dispositive on the issue. Do you also assume that because you exist everyone in the world looks like you, too? Jack Thompson

With enemies like you Pixelantes and like Game Daily Biz, why, I don't need any friends. You honor me with your hatred. I serve the Lord Jesus Christ, and you hate me because the world first hated Him. I follow the Creator of the Universe.
Jack Thompson
By the way, I was just watching G4 with my son. Who in the world watches this garbage? People with no lives, obviously. Pathetic.




Jack Thompson quotes
No, I'm not being ignored... I was the guy whose success in the Alabama Supreme Court was in a national Associated Press story last week. I was quoted in it, and frankly I did not see you quoted. Who is being ignored? You and your pixelante thugs are, that's who. Jack Thompson PS: Hooah!

That's not the debate junior. That's a retail stat. You don't know the difference, huh? Gosh, I forgot. You're a gamer. You can't think for yourself. Sony and Microsoft and Take-Two have to do your cerebral stimulation for you.
Thompson quotes
"My thoughts," for you is an oxymoron. Hooah! Jack Thompson

Saturday, February 25, 2006 news story "This idiot illspirit apparently can't read. The lawsuit will be on behalf of the "surviving" family members. That means the victims are dead. Duh. Yet he says the victims are still alive. Of course, what do you expect from a crazed gamer? - Jack Thompson
Thompson Jack quotes
We're going to push this game at Christian kids to let them know there's a cool shooter game out there," "Because of the Christian context, somehow it's OK? It's not OK. The context is irrelevant. It's a mass-killing game.
Jack Thompson
A Pixelante by Definition, Since You Asked... is a hypocritical thug who harasses people who disagree with him. The root word is "vigilante." Go look that up. Anybody who wants to be identified as a vigilante is beyond help. Jack Thompson
Jack Thompson quotes
Here's the truth, junior Actually, I got banned in large part because I revealed Dennis McCauley was told by the St. Paul Pioneer Press to stop lying about his affiliation with that paper. They told him to stop. Dennis didn't want you to know that. This is the guy who falsely reported that I was saying Dave Walsh supported me! Yet Dennis didn't want you to know he was falsely palming himself off as a Pioneer Press columnist. Total hypocrisy by Dennis McCauley.
Jack Thompson
This is not rocket science. When a kid who has never killed anyone in his life goes on a rampage and looks like the Terminator, he's a video gamer.

As a public service, here are some news items you won't read at GP, because they are actually true:
1. The "rave party" killer of ten in Seattle, Kyle Huff, appears to have been a hardcore violent game consumer. More on that as it develops further.
2. The reason "Office Massacre" was yanked was because I and others like me are out here, not because of any sense within the industry.
3. We're about to file a huge lawsuit in another state arising out of murders by a hardcore GTA: Vice City player. Our success last week in Alabama before the Supreme Court gives us tremendous momentum going into this new case.
4. This GP site serves as a constant reminder of the damage to young brains caused by video games. Here, the posters make it clear that reality, found in hard cold facts about the harm done by video games are of no interest whatsoever. Dennis McCauley's bizarre story here asking "How long will it be until the "influence of violent games" argument is finally put to rest?" is a perfect proof of this mental flight from reality.
How long, Dennis? As long as the brain scan studies at Harvard and the massive findings by the American Psychological Association are sitting there as an irrefutable proof, scientifically, of what the video game industry can't rebut: That what you dump into your brain has behavioral consequences. This has been known for only, oh, 3000 years.
5. Finally, Jack Thompson is slowly and surely destroying all of the SLAPP Bar complaint efforts against him. Dennis McCauley has been provided the information, but he doesn't want you to know, as he is still seething, like a little child, from my success in having the St. Paul Pioneer Press warn him to stop misleading everyone about his "columnist" status with that paper. He was not and is not, and they made him knock it off. Jack Thompson
PS: The good guys always win, which is why I'm winning this fight. Hooah!
