Forums - Gaming - OT: Do you think Obama will agree with Jack Thompson?

Just read the article on how Jack Thompson sent Pres. Obama a letter to ban killer video games. Do you think Obama will go along with this? Aren't there more things to worry about than video games?

 

"We have more guns in this country than people" - Jack Thompson

Then why not ban guns?

I hope he does not agree to this. It is completely ridiculous as everyone knows (informed people anyways) that video games are far from being one of this countries biggest problems.

This Jack Thomson clown needs to disappear.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Got a retro room? Post it here!

He knows he would get nowhere preaching about banning guns. If he suceeded could you imagin .... he would have to change his name, appearence and live in a safehouse. Games are an easy target!

Ah no new posts are showing for me :( I wanted to see how this thread developed.



 

Violent videogames are freedom of expression. If they ban killer videogames, they must ban killer movies as well. Obama may understand constitutional law, but I doubt he cares to uphold it. If he knows whats good for him he'll deny all requests from this videogame hating dictator.



No that's why I thank God he beat Hillary.



obama put in game adverts in burnout online right? Driving cars head on to one another and going off free ways to crash through billboard, driving recklessly = easier for morons/teens to emulate than shooting another human being in the head.....i dont see this going anywhere and if obama makes any comment on it im sure it will be a somewhat witty response to gun control rather than videogame control.



it dosent matter if they agree or not they cant ban them b/c it goes aganist the first amendment
