Does anyone know Jack Thompson's email address? I feel the need to forward this on to him
He is a wise man.

He's a fake. A tip to all of you out there, there exist fake Buddhists. Don't believe whatever people claim or do at face value. Reason, in the text, the way to enlightenment trains an individual's mind and body towards a state of balance. How can you be depressed, angry, or anything of that sort?
This is such a load of .
phnguyen - so your argument is based around you being unable to see the difference between striving for enlightenment and having already reached it. I think perhaps you should edit your post before too many people read it
i agree with him.
but everything has its bad and good, whether you choose the good or bad is up to you.

I think I could give you Jack Thompson's response right now and save you the bother of finding his e-mail address: "He's a Godless heathen, why would I listen to anything he has to say on the matter?"
Other than that, sure if you've spent your entire life in pursuit of enlightenment and the achievement of a state of emotional balance then I can see that violent video games would have no detrimental influence on your psyche. Not sure that this monk would necessarily agree that violent video games are going to be beneficial to rather more troubled young'ins.
I think there are violence boundaries in entertainment that get crossed, mostly by games and movies, TV less so and, well, radio isn't so much of a medium for violent content these days. Don't ask me to name the games because I basically don't bother playing any games that are R18 (highest rating here), so I play well below the boundary. The kind of violence that earns a game or movie an R18 really doesn't interest me. Now, sexual content that earns an R18 is an entirely different matter

Actually... it depends on which trophies you want :D
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

No, I still stand at this point.
I believe striving for enlightenment comes from within, not some tool you can use.
Scenario: I really feel angry and want to kill something, I should play some video games.
That is such a great way of training yourself...not.
