I think that we can all agree that Jack Thompson's Jihad against the gaming community needs to come to a close. That is why I am asking all of you to do the following things:

  1. Do not send any violent e-mails, or more importantly, death threats, to Jack Thompson. all this will do is prove his stupid point. If we ignore him, he will get bored and move on to obstructing another form of freedom of expression.
  2. This may sound stupid, but don't do anything Thompson could interpret as a "violent act caused by video games".
  3. Please, please, don't vote Hilary Clinton into office, as she is on his side. If you are a Democrat, like me, vote for Obama in the primaries, as he defends freedom of expression. If you are a Republican, vote for a candidate that defends it as well, like Giualianni or or McCain.
  4. Tell all of your friends to do the things mentioned above. There is no way that one stupid attorney can stand up the entire gaming community!

Hilary should get in. Besides neither her nor Jack Thompson because they would be breaking their own laws and proving to the world that the USA is indeed not the land of the free. People are allowed to make games on anything they want because making a game is about expression and the freedom of speech and they can't just stop that. Besides Jack Thompson needs some proof that violent video games make people do violent things.

I am not saying she would just do away with video games, but she very well might tighten the ESRB's reigns. Think about it, if you let your 11 year old play T rated games but not M, Hilary might turn games that are now E to T and games that are now T to M.

Yeah I agree but it is up to the parents to decide if they want their kids to play certain games no matter what the rating is. Even if she does tighten the ratings the kids will still somehow get ahold of these games. Instead of having ratings about who people can sell games to they should just have warnings about what the game contains and let the buyer know what they are getting into. If America is the land of the free then people should be free to choose what sort of games they want to play. Not only America but other countries that have video games, people should have the right to choose what they want to play.

Mabye the ESRB should state the magnitiude of the content already listed, on a scale of 1 to 5. This would further empower and inform parents without hurting freedom of expresiion.

I understand- Gamers look squeeky clean with twinkle in eye (or on teeth), Obama gets IN, Jack gets bored and commits an act of domestic violence that ruins his career- SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN!:)
