i would like to see thompson behind bars for all the evil and demeaning things he has done.

“Your ‘gamer friend’ will find peace through the Lord, Jesus Christ, but sadly it’s too late for that.

There is a void in every heart. You can fill it up with the things of God, or the things not of God. This unfortunate soul chose to fill it up with combat games. The playing of these video games is masturbatory activity, meaning senseless self-stimulation. If you gamers could use a dictionary you would know that that term is not necessarily a sexual one.

The real tragedy here extends beyond the life and death of this one fellow. There are literally millions of young people and young adults whose despair is deepend by turning to the things of this world and then finding them meaningless.

All of you gamers need to put down the controllers and get a life. The utter inanity of the vast majority of postings here shows how vapid “gaming” really is. You are one of the cheerleaders for this wasting of time and the wasting of lives. Do you feel any remorse for having contributed to this “culture of death?” Of course not. Hey, let’s all play MORE games, and ignore all the really productive things to do with our lives.

Let’s pretend to be shocked that a gamer might descend into deeper depression, as his gamer ‘buds,’ knowing he was killing himself, couldn’t figure out how to call 911 themselves for him. That would have involved leaving their computers I guess.

Sad. Sad for all of you.”

That statement still makes me mad just looking at it. Does he have no soul? Can he really look at the fact that a young man has taken his own life and simply say, “It’s because he played video games?” Apparently so. Jack Thompson, you are a disgusting, vile, heartless man who sees this whole event as nothing more than a corpse for your to use as a soapbox to help you fling your crap around even further. This young man had problems, yes, but it takes an incredibly conceited individual to think you can even begin to understand his problems without knowing anything about him, much less diagnose the whole problem as enjoying video games. Your arrogance is only outmatched by your stupidity. Why don’t you go to the poor guy’s funeral and throw water balloons at his family, I’m sure that will do just as much for your reputation.

May i suggest that you research your arguments with a little more scientific rigor.
In regard to Islam, the Jews, Christians and other faith’s fared much better.
for example during the Ottoman Empire. This period saw the creation of a formal Ottoman government whose institutions would remain largely unchanged for almost four centuries. In contrast to many contemporary states, the Ottoman bureaucracy tried to avoid military rule. The government also utilized the legal entity known as the millet, under which religious and ethnic minorities were able to manage their own affairs with substantial independence from central control. (from wiki’)
Not the same you can say of the American Empire and it’s devastation of Iraq, Afghanistan, the liberty of it’s own citizens.

There is some string evidence that Violence in computer games and movies has a detremental affect on young minds but this is limited to kids from those families where communication and relationships is weak already.
As davif Byrne said “TV only affects children whose parents behave like TV characters”.
Ultimately it’s the family and parental relationships that shape the direction of our choices. If the Government put more money into health, education and family support programmes rather than tax cuts to corporations and the rich, then we would all be better off.

PS: Islam is a religion. How would you like it if they dug up how the Roman Catholic church fleeced innocent people blind and denounced the intelligentsia who founded the day and age we live in today?

PS: Islam is not a race.
