WOW, look at that! Its Jack’s last shred of credibility flaying out the window!

i didn’t realize he had a shred left

*eye twitch* now lets just hope we never hear from him again

Wow, is this what passes for “thought” by gamers. If you bother to check the federal court file, you will see that two groups of Bar complainants claim that a letter I sent to Governor Jeb Bush and one I sent to President Bush were “unethical,” which brings up the possibility of subpoenas for the deposition testimony of both.

Don’t blame me. Blame the lawyers for the Howard Stern Show and the lawyers for Rockstar. They’re the morons who made this relevant and likely.

Hooah! Jack Thompson (I’m an attorney and you’re not, thank goodness)

Good for Howard Stern. He gets on my nerves, but horay for him. Jack Thompson will end up in hell with the rest of the world’s lawyers anyway. Even Shakespeare said they would all go to hell. I am so tired of this trivial mind numbing media whore. Thompson is the Britney Spears of lawyers.

If parents are too ignorant and dysfunctional to pay attention to what music, games, and movies their children are listening to/playing/watching, then they were too stupid to have children in the first place. Some people should honestly have to get a permit to breed, maybe then America would have less media hounds who just sit around and Google their own names while wasting valuable time breathing down gamers necks when rapists, murderers and buggerers are running about. Put the blame where it belongs – it is the parents that are creating depraved goons roaming around in the streets. Not Rockstar, Bungie, or EA. It is not the government’s job to legislate what we do for harmless entertainment. There are more pressing matters to contend with – Iraq, poverty, global warming, population explosion, tainted gluten from China, Nicole Ritchie, Tom Cruise… I could go on and on…..

Bully? you are kidding right

“Jack Thompson (I’m an attorney and you’re not, thank goodness)”

I’m sure you’re thankful- if we WERE attorney’s, we’d legally tear you a new one within moments. Seems like the majority of most gamers have a better sense of law ethics than you’ll ever have.

This is, by far, one hell of a stretch.

Do we have an “Everybody Hates Jack Thompson” song yet? We’d better get one.

P.S. It’s almost like ole Jackie boy dosen’t have anything better to do, does he?

Nothing on X-Files was ever this far-fetched.

Go, Jack, GO!!!!!!

Since Jack obviously has read this – why don’t we ask him where the recanting of his assertion that the virginia tech university killer was a gamer, because of his cold, calculating stance and lack of emotion. Never thought it might have just been because he was a sociopath or psychopath eh? Gotta blame games every time. Turned out he didn’t play games, and you just vanished like a fart in the wind.

Admitting when you’re wrong, while one of the hardest things a human has to do, is also the clearest indicator of character. Guess we know how you do on that scale eh?

It seems to me that similar thought processes are employed in the brain of any fanatic or zealot. I’m sure that Mr. Thompson blames Microsoft and others for the destruction of the twin towers. After all, the terrorists used Flight Simulators to train on, right?

We should be thankful that he chose law as his occupation. Otherwise he’d probably be blowing up abortion clinics or tapping his feet beneath bathroom stalls.

Mr. Thompson, none of us are getting younger, you should try to relax a bit and enjoy life. If these sort of egregious and misguided legal antics make you happy then I’m sure that there’s someone out there who will waste their pity on you. Nevertheless, you should really stop clogging up the courts – they have better things to do, you know -, and stop wasting so much of the taxpayer’s money on such frivolous pursuits.

The previous reply is just adding fuel to Mr Thompsons evidence that we’re all crazed loners who live in our parents basements, eat babies and plot to shoot up highschools.

Editor’s note: The previous reply referred to here has been removed for inappropriate content.

That’s obviously not him

Hooah!

Sounds like a strained relief, kinda like a jackboot domanatrix was pounding his pooper with a 10-inch charcoal black strap-on – while twisting his nipple with wirecutters. Hooah! I just got off.

Anyway, Jackkk is prolly pissed off at video games because he can’t play. Having trouble with hand-eye coordination are you? I know World 1-1 on Super Mario is tough… when I was 7.

Either that, or he’s just a ty lawyer using Video games and the bad press surrounding them to save a dying legal career. Make your money some other way.

He’s still just a douchebag, any way you squeeze it.

Hooah!

Jack is simply paying the price for his unprofessional behavior and disrespect for the Court. He is simply not a very good lawyer. If he was, he would argue his points professionally. And he would think them through first. All he really does is motivate the very people (and industry) he wishes to destroy. Perhaps a more subtle approach would have helped him.

An assertion that the Thompson letter to Bush was unethical is not enough to compel, justify or rationalize a deposition from either member of the Bush family. Opposing counsel can submit your letter as evidence, make their arguments as to how it is unethical and let the judge or jury decide on the matter. What Jack is doing is nothing more than stalling and serves no other purpose aside from strengthening the argument that he is unethical in his practice of law and does not deserve to possess a license to practice law.

Why aren’t people pointing fingers at the news for instance? The news shows and tells the most graphic and violent material than any other medium on public TV. It also has no ratings, and comes on at 6 & 11 just incase you missed it.

Violence wasn’t fashionable until video games came out. Hitler played a lot of Halo. Joseph Mengle was a fan of Dr. Mario.

More over, all forms of media are some form of communication protected under that whole “free speech” “thing”, in that “constitution thing”. I’m pretty sure its amendment #1. You might have heard of it. You will of course argue that it is not, but that narrow interpretation would open almost all forms of modern media up to censorship by the state. So, can it moron.

WTF @ the last Jack Thompson, Attorney post?

Somewhere, a circus is missing its clown.

Desperate for attention, poor little Jack probably got beat up as a kid and stood up for the prom. Now he’s a lawyer, taking it out on anyone he perceives as more hip or empowered than he is. I guess it will keep him busy for a long time.

What a transparent, laughable schmuck. He doesn’t give a rat’s ass about kids. It’s all about face time.

All of this is nothing more than a delaying tactic by Mr. Thompson. See this quote: “If President Bush is successful in convincing the court that I must wait until he leaves office, that’s something I am prepared to do.”

There’s no doubt that the President will convince the court of this, because no court operating in the realm of sanity would compel a deposition from the President for this nonsense.

Jack’s just hoping that he can postpone the hearing until January of 2009, on the highly questionable assertion that said deposition is “crucial” to his defense.

lol Someone needs to make Game where you are a game industry executive hunting Jack Thompson call it “Paranoia Jack”.

Pauly Shore

Sorry, it was part of a deal to get him to stop making movies. God doesn’t go back on his word.

“Hooah! Jack Thompson (I’m an attorney and you’re not, thank goodness)”

That’s not what I heard. I heard you lost your license to practice law because of your mental illness/instability.

An interesting article:

http://www.cjcj.org/jjic/myths_facts.php

Sometimes the realfacts speak for themselves.

“A lawyer should maintain high standards of professional conduct and should encourage other lawyers to do likewise. A lawyer should be temperate and dignified, and should refrain from all illegal and morally reprehensible conduct. Because of the lawyer’s position in society, even minor violations of law by a lawyer may tend to lessen public confidence in the legal profession. Obedience to law exemplifies respect for law. To lawyers especially, respect for the law should be more than a platitude.”

At this point, I’m not entirely sure who’s the real Jack. Maybe I am.

Does this mean that ol’ Jacko is going to Guantanamo Bay?

“Bane of Gamers Everywhere”?

He’s not the bane of anyone I know- the only way he’s ever affected me was by giving me a good laugh when I read a gaming site.

Jack Thompson is just some guy who wants to be the center of attention, and loves to hear himself talk. He takes controversial and unpopular causes and champions them because he loves to get the headlines. He can’t even resist entering into the flamewars that his antics engender.

He’s going to be disbarred because thankfully, people are tired of this clown trying to use the court system for his circus. This is his last pathetic grab for attention.

My advice for Jack is to start a talk radio show. That’s really where I see you happiest. You could be like a combination of Art Bell and Rush Limbaugh.

Jack should be careful. He’s not dealing with the ESRB this time. Now he’s screwing with a guy who’ll send him to Guantanamo for life without due process before breakfast.

Anybody got his address? I’ll go bite him and give him my rabies!

Humanity would do well to learn to properly control its animal instincts and negative emotions; to not do so inevitably means they control us. That goes for everything from having kids and being responsible parents to generally delivering constructive input into the global activity pool. Lawsuits by definition mean two or more parties are working at opposite goals. WASTED ENERGY, like 2 people pushing each other in opposite directions. Same as war, and sometimes goes hand in hand with it. And that ain’t livin’. Being alive means creating increasingly complex bonds (interpersonal and molecular alike), defying entropy and goin’ right on trying to perfect one’s self.

Lawsuits, in any decent form, are only used when two parties can’t agree about the distribution of some or other form of energy (be it paychecks, cash, goods, services or even laws). All too often, emotions are involved (“who gets custody of the kids?” and “someone will pay for this!”), they’re almost always self-serving, and it can turn into a screaming-for-attention bout, where the loudest whine wins. Politics is the same thing. We play caustic little emotional games with each other as we try to jostle ahead, and it quickly becomes a fight.

We gotta ditch our Lord of the Flies. We’ve got bigger fish to fry than each other. Our influence on the planet isn’t a theory, it’s a mathematical equation with WE’RE SCREWED IF WE DONT GET READY playing a major part. We’re seriously draining resources. The weather is clearly different than it was only 15 years ago. Earth also lacks decent coverage of the sky – there’s not enough scopes looking out for approaching asteroids. Nuclear fusion would be a good idea, too. And everyone offsetting their waste influences by paying a wee bit extra. There’s a lot we could be doing even right now. I don’t post much, but I felt like giving a rant and venting a little, so I hope you’ll forgive any pedantic tone. Now get out of here, recycle your batteries and pilot your ship.

Mr. Thompson,

Perhaps I missed something in the proper chain of proceedings, but from what I have read of this case and the above comments made by yourself, don’t you have a Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 45(b)(2) problem with service on the President? Unless you can identify a time when he will be within 100 miles of the place of the deposition and during that time your process server can get close enough to physically hit him with the subpoena, exactly how do you intend to have him served?

IF (by some miracle) they manage to get proper service on the President, the President’s attorneys are going to immediately make a Rule 45(c)(3)(A)(ii) motion to quash, and I think it is highly likely they’re going to get it BECAUSE it would require the President to travel to a place that is more than 100 miles from the place where that person resides, is employed, or regularly transacts business IN PERSON, AND under Rule 45(c)(3)(B)(iii) it would require a person who is not a party or an officer of a party to incur substantial expense to travel more than 100 miles to attend the trial.

The court can issue the subpoena, but if you can’t have him served, then it’s just theatrics.

P.S- The subpoena in Jones v. Clinton ONLY worked because the President was a NAMED PARTY in the suit. Using that as precedent for subpoenaing the President as a witness isn’t going to work.

I have just heard a theme song for you Jacky. Look into Wierd Al he has a song entitled I’ll Sue it’ll be perfect for you.

I just wonder when the bar will finaly put him in his place.. they need to just take his rights to do anything and lock him away for harassment.

Or hang him by his arms and tickle his feet for all eternity. Or not.

Quit stealing my name and making me look bad, Jackass! I’ll sue your ass. See you in Court, biatch. Now i’m going to go play Manhunt 2 and think up ideas for how to murder you while listening to Cradle of Filth and looking at my porn mags… Pwned.
