Jack Thompson. Immoral Sociopathic Son of a bitch.

"Earlier this month, gamer named Mitchell S. with the online screenname "Kuja105" who posts on a few online videogame forums (including GameFaqs.com and MetalGearSolid.org) committed suicide. On January 2 he posted a message in both forums detailing his intent to end his own life, citing overwhelming complications with school and finances.

A very brief period of initial disbelief was followed by a barrage of replies from fellow forum members pleading that he not take his life, trying to talk him out of it.

For days, no word was heard from Mitchell. Fearing the worst, members and administration from metalgearsolid.org began searching for contact information, spending hours on the phone trying to get in touch with him. Finally on January 4, Ryan K., an administrator at metalgearsolid.org, got him on the phone and spent hours desperately trying to talk him out of it.

Sadly, Mitchell soon ended his own life by consuming antifreeze and painkillers.

Later, members from the site contacted Mitchell's family to find out the grave news. They reported it to their online community, and posted a tribute to their passed friend on the front page of metalgearsolid.org." Full Report Here.
Mr. Jack Thompson then sent in the following letter regarding the situation to MetalGearSolid.org, one of the forums frequented by Mitchell, where he was known well:

"Your "gamer friend" will find peace through the Lord, Jesus Christ, but sadly it's too late for that.

There is a void in every heart. You can fill it up with the things of God, or the things not of God. This unfortunate soul chose to fill it up with combat games. The playing of these video games is masturbatory activity, meaning senseless self-stimulation. If you gamers could use a dictionary you would know that that term is not necessarily a sexual one.

The real tragedy here extends beyond the life and death of this one fellow. There are literally millions of young people and young adults whose despair is deepend by turning to the things of this world and then finding them meaningless.

All of you gamers need to put down the controllers and get a life. The utter inanity of the vast majority of postings here shows how vapid "gaming" really is.

You are one of the cheerleaders for this wasting of time and the wasting of lives. Do you feel any remorse for having contributed to this "culture of death?" Of course not. Hey, let's all play MORE games, and ignore all the really productive things to do with our lives.

Let's pretend to be shocked that a gamer might descend into deeper depression, as his gamer "buds," knowing he was killing himself, couldn't figure out how to call 911 themselves for him. That would have involved leaving their computers I guess.

Sad. Sad for all of you."

RE: Your "War on Evil Gamers"

Your, sir, as a insolent, ignorant tool.

Thank you.

Jack Thompson would be shocked to know that there are plenty of Christian Gamers and even Chirstian Game Guilds. Has you can see Here. Someone's drifted out of touch with reality.

I haven't been seriously playing games for some time now...I guess this explains the shaking hands and impure, unchristian thoughts!

Wow...

A gamer commits suicide, therefore it MUST be the game that drove him to suicide.

Guess I must instantly shoot myself in the head because I play both D&D (the great evil, just ask Jack Chick) and Computer Games.

Jackass Thompson has long been a pain in the asses of many games, a bane to our existance with his constant annoyances and attention-grabbing antics. This latest spouting of tasteless regurgitated crap is the same as every other tired and trite rant he's come up with. This one just happens to be in worse taste then most of his others, singlehandedly bashing on gamers and further causing grief to a family suffering a great loss.

The man is delusional, fanatical and quite probably insane. This probably just stems from someone kicking his ass too many times at Pong or something.
