Jack Thompson Claims Victory in MOH Taliban Removal

[UbarElite]

Just ignore him guys...maybe he will go away?

 

[Squeaky]

We already have BEEN to Hell. It's called "Doom".

Anyone got a BFG or even a set of knuckle dusters ? We could send Thompson to purgatory so we dont have to hear his pubescent mouth up (Hes to stupid for hell)

 

[Squeaky]

I'd laugh if they put the Taliban back in and when you play as them a message reads: "You go to hell Jack Thompson!"

Id buy the game just to tick Jack Thompson.

 

[DEgaurdian]

Hell: Its where the party's at.

Anyway, so what he's saying is that he's not okay with people fighting virtual Talibans, but he's chill with people killing virtual US Rangers? cause thats what happens in MOH multi.

Yes, time does matter, but that's still beside the point of being right or not. Alan Alda said, in a Woody Allen movie, that comedy is pain plus time. The acceptability of jokes about tragedy are never funny immediately following the pain, but given time can be accepted. The same could be said about war.

Is it too soon to have a simulator where you act like a terrorist hijacking one of the 9/11 attack planes? I say it is. Though there are people out there questioning if it's been long enough, and are entertaining the idea.

Just getting hypothetical here for the sake of discussion - if we already know how that process works, then why not simply say "well, this will be acceptable eventually, so why not now?"

Because, unlike WW2 and nazis, there are still a lot of people it's very painful to.

"Protect our culture"? From what Mr. Thompson? Change? Evolution? Because from where I'm standing, those are good things. They are what has allowed us to move out of huts, develop law, media, give you a job.

 

[BoogieManFL]

He thinks games are bad, then he says things like that? That's amusing.

I already thought he was an ass, but now I just think he's a bad person.

 

[KezzieZ]

"Protect our culture"? You mean it's not about freedom of speech or expression in the U.S.? I'm sorry, my bad, I suppose I was misled all of these years.

Seriously, though, Jack Thompson's overinflated ego is getting tiresome. I was kind of hoping he retained whatever convinced him to do the right thing and defend Mass Effect from those false accusations with no basis in reality, but it looks like he jumped right back on the other side.

Many of the Holocaust survivors still alive would likely want a word with you on that..

 

[SimuLord]

You know what, Jack? You did. All by yourself. You're a big damn hero. More tapioca, Mr. Thompson?

What an ass...

Someone should go round to his house, ring his doorbell, and when he answers... slap him. Right in the face.

or how about a pie in the face?

hmmm, okay, but it better be custard, or else...

all i have is cherry. the red cherry juice could stain his suit.

um okay then, go nuts...

there's always crashing a pie truck into the front of his house.

perfect...

and rigging the truck to explode like a nuclear bomb of cherry pie filling.

Ya gotta love self-centered jackasses who think the world is the way it is because of them.

Jackie boy... long, long before I ever receive my final judgement I'll have bought a flight ticket to the USA, visited the cemetery you're interred in and danced a merry jig on your grave.

And that's all anyone can ask. Please keep talking sense because not enough people do!

Gamers will eventually mature, I think that on the whole gamers have been doing a good job of this since the 80's. Give it another 30 years gaming will become a medium every bit as ubiquitous and acceptable as television. By that time, gamers as a whole would have become older, wiser and hopefully more mature.

They probably removed the taliban from the MOH so that they didn't have to hear that dick whinge anymore. But from the point of view of that completely self absorbed retard, he thinks he's won, well congrats Richard Head you removed a word (that people already know of) from a game whoop-de-freakin'-shit.

Oh and I apologise to anyone offended by the language used in this comment (English)

 

[MrNickster]

He claims credit? He didn't do anything! EA is not afraid of a disgracefully disbarred lawyer who has won as many cases as I have lotteries. Goddamn it (irony), this guy must have learnt everything he knows about how to act proper from 4chan and Xbox Live.

Amen to that.
