Jack Thompson

WHAT THE HELL?

How the hell do you sue Wikipedia in the first place? I mean, I don't think it's possible to sue an online encyclopedia without looking like a madman. I'm sorry, but it's hard to even try to take this seriously without laughing to yourself. I keep telling myself "Don't act shocked. This is Jack Thompson we're talking abbout here.", but it always fails. Jesus fucking Christ.

ANNOUNCEMENT (I'M GETTING TOO FUCKING SLOW AND LAZY)

Yep. You read correct. I'm pretty much going to stop posting updates here unless I update an event in less than 20 hours after it was reported. If you guys want to post things late, be my guest. There's not much traffic here anyway, and until we get some common posters, I'm simply not going to update very often.


Besides, this place is better anyway:

However, fi you would like to post a comment that you're afraid to post over there, then create a new entry and post it here. Also, this is going under private as of now.

First off, I'd like to say:

Holy Shit, Orange Lounge Radio? I didn't know they donated. That's pretty fucking sweet.


Anywho, congrats on actually doing something instead of doing what I did: Making some unpopular LJ community about heckling some douche you don't like. I would've donated, but I don't have a damn clue how to use those donator things and I will probably never learn how, not even in my spare time.

Normally, i'd say something completely negative and one-sided, but this time I'll predict the different out-comes:


1. It will change nothing and he'll call them "suck-ups".

2. He will forgive us and let us be.

3. He'll forgive us, and then, 3 hours later, some moron does something completely moronin that they saw in a video game/sends a death threat to him. In the end, everything will be the same (or quite possibly even worse).

4. He will reply with a badly-typed E-mail insulting them, but remain quiet for a few weeks knowing that the news will be up his ass about the who incident.

5. The gates of Hell will be opened and unleash destruction upon the world.


What could happen? You, the readers at home, will decide (well, not really).

Jack Thompson, you are a monster

I joined this community just so that I could write this open letter, because I need to vent my outrage at Jack Thompson after the comments he left about that poor soul who committed suicide (see post below me). Most of his comments were deleted, but you can read this letter that he sent to the site that Mitchell S. was a member of.

Jack Thompson, you are the Joseph McCarthy of our time, and so I must echo the words of of Joseph Welch when he asked Senator McCarthy when I say to you, Jack Thompson, "You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"

This wasn't about video games in the least bit, and in the most cowardly fashion possible, you turned a personal tragedy into a chance for you to grandstand. This has nothing to do with video games. People committed suicide before video games were invented, and there will always be people who will lose hope and try to take their lives, but this is not the time for you to push your agenda. A young man has died. Do you fathom that at all Mr. Thompson? A young man has died, and if it were your son who had taken his own life, would you want people using this as a chance to mock you? A young man suffered and died, and his loved ones did all they could to save him, and all you can do is gloat?

Have you no shame?

I hope you never have to endure the intense pain of losing someone dear to you to suicide like Mitchell's family and friends have. This boy was suffering, he was sick, and saying such heartless things only furthers the myth that people who commit suicide are somehow cowards. You call yourself a Christian Mr. Thompson, and to that I must say "Physician, heal thyself!" Correct your own egotistical ways, your complete disrespect for the lives of other people, your intolerance to human dignity before you chastise people during a time of grief. "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy". You're a Christian man Jack, so start acting like one.

I hope God has mercy on your soul Jack Thompson.
