to paraphrase Shepard Book, Jack Thompson is going to the special hell that's reserved for child molestors and people who talk at the movies.

Here are we -- and yonder yawns the universe.

 Goddamnit, stop interviewing nutso and get back to making project origin.

Wow, "pure evil," "special place in hell."

Sounds like Jack is putting this guy up there with Hitler.

It is really disturbing actually, Jack really is only one small step from "Well they don't deserve to live..." and justifying homicide.

Wow. I am so looking forward to this show. I am going to laugh.

Wow. Just wow. This is a classic example of almost everything i thought about Thompson up until the last year or so. (when he expanded that disgust even further, month by month) The reason why we keep hearing about him, here or otherwise, is the same reason we keep hearing about evangelists like Fred Phelps, etc, etc: they hate everybody and are abusing and perverting the texts that they say they're preaching.

That said, i've never heard of this 'Jace Hall Show.' Bet he'll brag about this too, like its a dream for all the 'kiddies' of the nation to achieve.

YOU GONNA GO TO HEEEEEEELLLLLLLL!!!!!! KABLAAAAAAHHH! Once shit like that starts coming out of your mouth, you know you're insane. Or just an asshole. Or both.

Its nice to see "good" Christians demonstrating their endless love and compassion for their fellow man.  Rock on, Jack Thompson!

Seriously though JT, you really are a fucking nut. You are one of the most vile people ever, twisting the Bible to spread your hate! Asshole!

Read my sig, ya loon!

Now, I'd normally would quote the "He who is free of sin casting the first stone" and the like, except that Jack actually does believe that he actually does believe that he is free of sin. So, in its place I'll say, "Pride goeth before the fall."

As for this episode, it's going to be either pant wetting funny, or infuriating as hell.

As for Jack, he'll be his abnormal, douchebag self with his abnormal douchebag ways. And if Jack wants to meet pure Evil, I'll give him my sister as she is also a self-righteous prat who can always be right and never wrong. They would get along swimmingly.

Indeed there is a special place in hell for someone, Mr. Thompson...and it is for you.

Correct me if I'm wrong... but the only thing that talks about hell as a series of places.... is the divine comedy.

Can I call jack a hereitic now?

I've already seen my personal place in hell.  It was called DOOM, and it was AWESOME.

So, are Thompson's little quips being said with a wink and a smile or is he straight-faced and serious?

Jack Thompson ... christian? hmm ... thats not right ... extremist? ... ahh ... more like it

When you follow a religion to a level of blind pursicution, that is what we call extremist. Using "the word of god", many people in the past and present do things that, in effect, would go against what they believe in. But its ok though, because in there eyes, we are not human beings, we are "pure evil" like devils and whiches ... and I would not be surprized if in the depts of his mind, Jack wants to torch gamers and game developpers just like people did to witches long ago. Kinda reminds me of the Silent Hill movie ... people lost in faith, and out of tune with reality.

Putting that next to the message from the movie "The Mist", religion and belief is required ... but only to a certain point. Loose yourself in religion and you will commit murder in the name of youre god ... follow logic too strictly and you may loose everything.

With the way he treats people and gamers, its clear which side of the fence Jack falls into. Can religion be shown in court? yes ... to a certain point, and I don't think extremist falls within that, and unfortunatly, its because of this that most of his "bad behavior" comes from.

I am not against Jacks core goal (trying to make sure youth don't get access to games that are above there age) though I still believe that there are other ways then law enforcements ... but the way he treats the law (court, layers, etc) as well as how he says he doesn't want to censor or ban games, yet he has tryed to do so in the past, and his attitude towards all gamers ... is just not acceptable. A few gamers are extremists just like there are a few christian extremist ... don't blame the comunity, blame the individual ... which is why I blame Jack, and not christianity.

So in the end, I do hope to god Jack looses his law licence for good. Free speach is a right, but if you use it abusively, it should be taken away ... with his 10+ years of what seems like harasment towards multiple people inside and outside the courts, there's no doupt in my mind that the recomended disbardment the judge recommended is required, but I'd also like to see a ruling requirering Jack Thompson to give a bublic appoligy for every lawyer, judge, research institution, game developper and gamer that he did/may have offended.

P.S. Sorry if there's some bad grammar or miss-spelling ... I'm french Canadian and english is my second language. So as an extra note, I was offended when Jack ignorently proclaimed "english is the best of all languages" in his written complaint. English is a very good language with its high point, but to say its the best is an insult to all others, especialy when his reason for saying so is that english is a clear and consyst language, yet Jack seems to have many issues of miss-interpratation ... Denis, in regards to the freedom festival info requests and more, should know all about this.

Jack's "pure evil" comment must be in regards to Jace Hall being involved with Happy Feet.

I've said it before Jack. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

(I'm not even going to comment on the legalities, that path is well treaded, but I can't let this one go.)

Good grief...  No Jack, just no. There's a special place in hell for the guy in europe who chained his daughter up in the basement well into her teens and sired 8 of his own grankids by her. Somehow I can only think that if video games is your version of mortal sin, you must have led a very sheltered life.

That said, if I'm going to hell and you're going to heaven, I think I can live with that.  Old expression = "I'd rather laugh with the sinners, then cry with the saints."

Things like this and people like jack are why i stugle to associate myself with Christianity, yes i believe in God and that, but then i see things like this and i want to distance myself from this hate.

Thank you Jack for making me doubt my beliefs.

FYI, for those who are condemning Jack, and throwing him in with Christians, bear in mind.... Jack may *claim* he is Christian, but his actions speak quite against it. He isn't blindly following a religion, he is using a religion as a smokescreen to push his own personal little tirade. He is hardly Christian, and it is a mockery of Christianity in general every time he claims he is one and then says what he's said.

Wait, so gamers only have one room reserved in Hell.  But Jack Thompson will get his own wing.  Hardly seems fair.

Jack sounds like he's having a bit of a laugh with this interview.

Nobody is that much of ignorant fool, right?

I don´t know why there are some people who talk about Hell like they knew it personally or like they don´t have any possibility of sin to be in there.

People like Jack Thompson is destroying faith and religious believes for this generation. Is not the material possesions´fault, is people like Jack who make us to stay away from the idea of God.

Jason didn't do this episode to try and lighten Jack's heart or change his mind or to glean any new information about Jack that we don't already know.

He did it to further bury him...

When you watch this episode, Jason will come across as a personable, normal, good human being.  You'll like him, relate to him, and understand him.  But then... when Jack reacts to him as Jack usually does, Jack is going to wind up looking like the moron that he is.

Jack might as well have called up Penn and Teller and asked to be the subject of an episode of Bullshit.

And the beauty of it all is...

Jason doesn't ever have to fire a shot at Jack.  He doesn't ever have to sling an insult.  He doesn't even have to disagree with him or debate him.  He simply has to be a nice guy and let Jack destroy himself... and you know he will.  By simply conducting himself like a warm and honest person, he draws the stark contrast of Jack's insanity, and the job is done...

Gee, I wonder why he has such a hard time winning people over to his side....

[/sarcasm]

I'm gonna be gone all next week, and I'm really mad that I'm gonna miss this. I'm just hoping there'll be a link or a transcript waiting for me upon my return.

-"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject." -Sir Winston Churchill

Wait...was Jack joking? Because that was honestly the single most over the top, eccentric, cruel thing i've ever heard that man say.

Isn't an evil guy also a bad guy? Oh Jack, you don't need to give people twists in your responses all the time. Just say he's a bad guy.

Seriously, this is just insane. I know Jack's an asshole and all, but I've never heard him say anything like this. Especially during an interview, in which the interviewer was being rather polite, and not hostile at all.

What the fuck is jack thompson smoking?

Only God may judge a person's sins and send them to Hell. Therefore Jack Thompson thinks he is God. Therefore, Jack Thompson is in severe violation of the first commandment.

Is this show on TV or just on the net?

Alright Jacky Boy I admit it I am worse than Hitler!

You want to make something of it? I dare you I want my 15 minitues of fame at your expense.

"Jack Thompson: No, I don't think of you, Jason, as a bad guy. I think of you as pure evil, and there's a special room in Hell for you..."

*looks at Jason's list of projects*

Oh come on, Happy Feet and Catwoman weren't that bad, were they?

Jack's getting to the point where many cult leaders start saying they're better than Jesus, or they are Jesus.  At that point bad things happen.

If I were in charge of a game development studio, especially T2, or game seller, I'd be beefing up security right about now. You know, like the Miami-Dade courts are.

Since we're all EVIL anyway--and not just gamers, but those who associate with or defend them--it's not much of a stretch to imagine Jack taking "justice" into his own hands. His final disbarment seems likely to push him over the edge completely, and it's getting more and more likely that people will die as a result (and not the way Jack believes).

I used to joke about Jack going on a killing spree and blaming games, but now I think it's getting more and more likely.

if making the Polar Express game and the Charlie and the Chocolate factory are enought to go to hell than im kinda scared

Diablo, que maricon.

Talk about verbal diarrhea towards a guy doing his job. He acts as though creating games rated "M" were a mortal sin. I suppose everyone who works on a movie that's rated "R" should go to hell as well, hmm? Perhaps the bar trial has unhinged him a bit more than he already is.

Sorry Thompson, we've heard you seriously spew such rhetoric before, so it's not any stretch of the imagination to believe you'd say the same to Jace in a serious manner. Although I suppose it is good to hear you were at least joking this time. Oh and how is insulting others by calling them nerds a part of following Christs words? You know, seeing as how you can conjure up some vague Biblical excuse for everything else you do, I'd be amused to see how that was somehow a holy thing to do according to you (although I would not be surprised).

I'm wondering if the second JT to post in this thread was a faux Jack...

Is this guy really that evil?Is this the reason why Christians are hated by everyone?

This hateful,spiteful son of a biatch?!How could you honestly say something like that that to someone's face and not feel an inch of guilt(you know,unless they're like Hitler,but you know what I mean!)?

Crap.

I can't wait until Jack is caught on video carrying a cross around and throwning holy water on gamers. I'd pay good money to see that tape.

I was about to comment that Jack's attempt at satire is doomed to fail since the things he says when he's being HI-LARIOUS are tamer than what he says in absolute sincerity.

Then I read his second post.

Wait, so you don't like The Dark Knight?  Or somebody else didn't and that legitimizes your "no video games for anybody" platform?  What the hell are you going on about, Jack?  It's like you've embraced your irrelevance and ran with it.

Ummm....sooooooo errr Jack, I think you went a little off-topic? Fine, I'll roll with it.

So a bunch of twits in a movie forum flaming a reviewer for Dark Knight, is an accurate comparison to you? Sadly two different things. The movie reviewer has an opinion stated it and yeah not everyone agrees with it...sure! Happens all the time, unfortunately part of the job for critics.

YOU on the other hand, are getting criticized for not doing your job correctly and behaving in an ill-manner. People called you on it, and now you fighting back tooth and nail with whichever loop hole and lie can somehow miraculously pull your butt out of the fire (sadly it looks more like you are pouring gasoline onto your pants and then diving into the fire, while claiming it makes you fire proof).

Yeah movie critics are going to get bothered by a bunch of people that can't accept their opinion. Jack, we tried to reason with your opinion...others have tried as well. Instead we got threats, insults, fake lawsuits, lies, and more. If we back you into a corner, you cry out "First Ammendment!" or "I am a Christian!" when it is totally unecessary and irrelevant.

Once again, it isn't your job we are disagree with... it is your CONDUCT, or lack there of.

They need to stop interviewing Jack.  Just let him die off by himself. 

Hey, did Jack ever get around to filing that RICO suit against the ESA?  He said it would be done this week. 

@Shadow Darkman

What exactly are you referring to? Just curious.

I haven't made any big games (specificly because I lack the sheer dedication and talent to work on a game for about 120 hours/week) but I have spent 100s of hours making my own Half Life 2 maps.  I wonder if Jack Thompson thinks I've earned a spot in hell next to Jace Hall?  I'm sure it's a better place than where Jack Thompson is going!

HOLY COW!

I'm all for freedom of ttnet vitamin speech and allowing rent a car game makers to put whatever they want in games, but there's one thing about this app that has me scratching my head.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but from araç kiralama the previous article araba kiralama on this I gathered that players can use Google maps in-game to find the other (real-life?) dealers in their area.  If this is the case, has travesti anyone considered what's stopping someone from using this app to actually move drugs between hands for reals?

But majority araba kiralama of their outrage araç kiralama stems from what it could DO TO children, not the content itself.  Talk to one of these people and you'll find they don't think any books kiralık araba should be banned from children.  Mention American Psycho and they talk about kiralık araç the redeeming value of using imagination to construct a story.  Reading, no matter what the content, is largely viewed as a consequenceless activity for people of any age.  The reason why I mention American Psycho is because of the content itself.  Gaming never has and likely never will have any scenes where someone has sex with a severed head.  Not gonna happen.  Yet despite this, they'll fight tooth and nail to protect their children from two boys kissing in Bully but whatever they read is harmless... yeah.

The entire arguement is kiralık oto based upon a social normality inflicted by luddites who can't figure out the controls for Halo so it's frightening and terrifying and obviously the cause of youth violence on the rise even though, in reality, it's in decline (which is actually a HUGE suprise given minibüs kiralama the economies status).  In  a perfect world, we would have parents that actually parent.  The idea of sales restrictions on media on oto kiralama any form to accomidate parental unwillingness to get involved with their child's life is the real problem to me.  Here I am, 32 years old, and being held up at a self-scan rent a car needing to show ID before I can buy a $10 M rated game all because Soccer Momthra can't be bothered to look at the crap Billy Genericallystupidson does in his free time.  It's too hard for her, so I have to suffer?
