Jack Thompson Likes Sarah Palin

[Solo508]

Fuck Jack Thompson the worm. He is so damn ignorant it just enfuriates me.

"Innumerable school shootings have been caused by these murder simulators"

My ass... fuck off and die Thompson you useless, ignorant ****.

 

[stompy]

When stupidity collides, when does it ever end well?

Reba Meagher as Health Minister and Iemma as Premier. Right, you've got a point.

As for the article, well, I was always supporting Obama over McCain anyways, so this makes no difference.

So because you disagree with her religious beliefs, that qualifies you to judge her standing as an elected official?

I believe naked rock aliens steal my pants and if put to a vote, I would support legislation giving children vouchers and funding schools with special emphasis on teaching them about said naked rock aliens.

But don't hold my belief against me! What are you, bigoted?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! Why am I not surprised.....

Obama/Biden FTW in 08!

I can't stop laughing at that! Its so true.

 

[Asymptote Angel]

Gah, because there weren't enough reasons not to like her before...

For once Saccharin, I have to agree with you. Heck, I'm glad to agree with you.

We must also examine the present spike in Latina and African registered voters now - the pool of voters is changing, and so do the traditional sets.

Ok, I made that up, but it still sounds very plausible, doesn't it?

And actually holds a grain of truth. My politics class last year taught me that if current trends continue, by...ugh, date escapes me, I believe it's the mid 201X's, then white people will no longer be the 'dominant' skin colour, they'll have been overtaken by latinos.

Actually I think that might ALREADY be the case, at least on the east and west coasts. And the south. Basically just Wyoming up to Colorado is still white.

They won't take him on the campaign. Having a disbarred lawyer as an advocate for your party is never a good idea. He'd just do more harm than good.

 

[Copter400]

Because everyone knows that the biggest problem facing the world, the one that could make a whole new generation of cancer orphans, is the sale of video games to minors.

The horror.

 

[Arkfeller]

I have sat in jail cells with these game-trained killers.

Wish he'd stayed in there.

FUCK OFF JACK THOMPSON YOU OLD RAGIDY WASHED UP DOUCHE-BAG WHO WANTS ONE LAST SPOT IN THE SPOTLIGHT JUST FUCK OFF AND DIE!!!

Suddenly I love you.

a federal law prohibiting the sales of "adult" videogames to minors

Wait, so it's legal to sell adult rated goods to minors?

No, it's illegal in all 50 states i'm pretty sure. It's just STATE law, so the age varies slightly from 16 to 18, I BELIEVE.

I was just going to ask - are there not already suitable laws to prevent sale of unsuitable materials to minors in the US? We need to stop children playing these games, because they are wrecking XboX Live! Oh yeah, and the moral issues and whatever...

Yes there are laws, and ratings systems, and they aren't allowed to sell to anyone without a valid age ID. But PARENTS buy the games for their children because they are either A. Parents who have taken their child and ensured they are a safe stable individual who understands the difference between fantasy and reality, escapism and responsibility. or B. Total goddamned retards.

The issue falls on the PARENTS. If you want to legislate something, make people take a written test to have a BABY.

 

[Ruffythepirate]

If McCain wins, we will get Palin when he dies. FLEE, FLEE FOR YOUR LIVES!

Actually, the ESRB rating system is entirely voluntary; there are no statutes that legally limit the sale of videogames to minors. There have been numerous state-level attempts to impose just such restrictions, all of which have been quashed for violating the Constitution. The First Amendment is sacrosanct, and so far the judiciary has had the good sense to see that, even if certain uninformed, reactionary politicians have not.

There has been at least one attempt to do an end-run around the First Amendment by having violent videogames declared "obscene" and therefore exempted from protection in the same way porn is, but that was shot down pretty quickly too as I recall.
