Atkinson: Gamers Are More Threatening Than Bikers

[Brownie101]

Of course. I mean, it's no like a biker gang could, you know...plot with each other? They only hold meetings every so often. There's no chance that they could be plotting something.

But that solitary gamer over there...Ohhh look out. He might be plotting with some people he's never met. And honestly Atkinson, Know why you get all that spam and threats? It's because you denied the gamers.
If you had let the R18+ in, then they wouldn't have any problem with you at all, now would they? You wouldn't be getting the spam, and no-one else would. They'd be too busy gaming to do it.

I just want to set up a blood-thirsty deathmatch. Atkinson can choose who he wants to fight: One of the Bikers that hates him, or one of the gamers that hates him. Put the two in an arena with no rules and see who's more dangerous then.

I cant say i really find gamers threatening, Now old ladies who Knit those are the ones you've gotta look out for!

Flat knitting or circular knitting? I am sure that this distinction is in some way relevant.

They both should be avoided at all costs!

He's in danger of turning into the next Jack Thompson, an asshole who points at the easiest blame figure and ignores all evidence to the contrary because like JT, he'd rather be skinnd and plunged in vinegar than admit he's wrong.

I'm proposing a serious measure but...

Would 4chan come in use here? We can use them for good!

You'd have to see if there are enough 4Channers of /v/ in Australia to be effectual
also, remember that one of the rules of 4Chan is : "We're not your personal army."

That is the funniest thing i have seen in a while.Props to you.

Thread related.I am not surprised anymore by atkinson,he is just some stupid politician that got way to much power and for some reason treats gamers like the anti-christ.As yahtsee said its a miracle that his wretched litle black heart is still keeping him alive under all the hate from Australia,the world in general and the general internet.Still he going to far now.Comparing dangerous bikers to (mostly) harmless gamers and saying that gamers are the biggest danger, he needs to put some points into logic already.

My response is actually aimed at the Australian Govt. itself:

"Why, in the nine hells would you require a unanimous decision for anything?"

The American system is buried in red tape and takes forever to do anything, but it never requires anything beyond an overwhelming majority (3/4). Having a system that requires any more than 2 people to be unanimous is just asking to be gridlocked like this.

 

[Sparrow]

Wow. I'm feeling pretty badass now, it must be said.

What a massive twat.

Also, I thought this was quite well put. Kudos.

Roving packs of gamer-hunters. They sound scary and deadly.

 

[Blatherscythe]

That must be one big fart he's squeezing out - not even the Devil would have a smile like that.

Actually Atkinson is the devil.

 

[ninjajoeman]

biker gangs give boxes of candy with there death threats

duh

 

[Liiizard]

God, I wish that gamers would form angry mobs and take down people like Atkinson. Maybe if you could convince them it was all a virtual simulation...

 

[samsonguy920]

So gamers are worse than the people who will kill Mad Max's family. Just because of a little note and email spam.

Some people are just way too sensitive.

God dam, I'm glad I live in Canada!

We can only hope. You forget Jack Thompson just has his mouthpiece, with no power behind it. Or even much credibility. Michael Atkinson is Jack Thompson's god.

 

[Otterpoet]

Oh wow... he got a nasty note. Therefore, gamers are worse than bikers.

Trust me, Mr. Atkinson, if you tried to ban motorcycles because they were 'inspiring violence' I'm pretty sure you'd be getting a little more than a nasty note shoved under your door.
