Jack Thomson is right about gaming.

Gaming is a threat to our economy, country and our children.

Many games teach kids about violence and Sex. This can damage a kids mind severely. Instead of picking up a book the child picks up a controller to destroy his brain. Games like Mass Effect show sex as a pleasure. Games as Gears of War and God of War show so much blood and gore. Kids can get their hand on these games and end up being the next person to kill 6 people then do suicide.Gaming is more horrible than the Internet. We need to ban games. Allot of these murders can be reenacted by games like Counter strike. Also the terrorist from 9/11 used Microsoft's Flight Simulator to help them crash into the world trade center.

Gaming is far more destructive than a nuclear bomb. It hurts the country and with gaming there will be no peace in the world.

Anyone have a "facepalm" pic?

Actually... I have one better... Read and be enlightened

*nods in agreement*

*goes back to read my high school history textbook, which is filled with inappropriate things*

only a person with problems in the first place would do anything after playing any game..

any other form of entertainment could be said to do the same

Just...no.

I will look at the bolded statements in order.

1. Tests indicate that gaming raises IQ by as much as 5 points, which is quite substantial.

2. It's not? What world do you live in?

3. Gaming keeps people off the streets, and, therefore, out of crime. The school shooters are definitely the exceptions.

And this is coming from a guy who plays videogames...Maybe u would like to give up that ps3

sex isnt a pleasure? :lol:

I really hate to say it, but Jack Thompson is really not the guy to go to for accurate Videogame advice

On the other side, my seven year old brother, who has grown up watching me play games like RE4, No more heroes, and is also suprisingly good at SSBM, has turned out pretty violent, compared to me and my brother, who didn't begin gaming UNTIL we were seven. I mean the kid likes to punch things... alot.

Nope, and neither can music, movies or discovery channel content either.

Crime statistics risen 100% after the playstation was invented.

I can't believe you just used the events of 9/11 to bash gaming.

Teh blasphempy !!1!1!!!

Anyway this is the whole purpose of the age rating system, the industry cannot be blamed if parents are too ignorant on whether they purchase inappropriate games for the children.

But hey, dont expect any politician to admit to that soon, think of the bad publicity it would attract....

Are you going to do an account-suicide?gamenux

See the suicidal thoughts in your mind only because of gaming
