The first time I went to his site, I was greeted with a boring, repeated pattern of "patriarchal" colors or red white and blue (assuming this is the case, seeing as he IS from america) as if his being an attorney specifically against "video-game induced violence" increases the positive aspects of the international view of a country. Pfft.
As has been said by many others, simply playing a video game does not count as "training". And training, usually, involves doing something over and over as to be able to do it rather well... From what I've heard, Manhunt isn't exactly a game that you'd want to play over and over. But that doesn't really make a difference on the level of debate we're on.
Kids (normally) don't get "addicted" to video games, the way they get addicted to drugs and the like (which is probably what Jack is thinking, if we can tell anything from his view on games) I betcha even the most ravenous video-game playing teen will get over games in a much smaller time span than any druggy.
Going to the colleges to talk to people about video game violence when you specifically say that it's teens (which immedeately brings to mind 13-16 year olds in my mind) that have all the problems with video games. And that itself is wrong, as there are probably hundreds of people who are pre/post teens taht have been influenced by games in a way that you would think of as violent. I say this, because you seem to think of any instance of game playing as violent military training...
Allow me to bring up a certain theory (I don't recall the exact name)
See the quote in the above paragraph that I wrote, and I'd like to bring up a point that someone else made: You aren't forced to do any of those things in the game, it all depends on the person playing it. And if the person playing it does choose to do these things while playing, they were probably already messde up in the first place, or probably even more likely, just have a wierd sense of humor (as is the case with my best friend).
Of course, it's absolutely inconcievable that an ADULT could possibly have been watching ESPN at the times that commercials for ADULT games were playing.
I suppose Klebold and Harris also held their shotguns against the middle of their stomaches, and had catchy MIDI tunes playing on they walkmans. Y'ever heard the music to E1M1 the hangar? Pretty snazzy.
My god, are we a fortune teller now, too?
I suppose you're proud of that "censor of the year" award. That's like getting a "most neurotic soccer mom of the year" award, except it's even more sad, because you're not even a mom. You're not even censoring your own kids. Do you even have kids? I don't really care... In fact, this one "achievment" makes me wonder why you even do this kind of stuff. You remind me of vandalists; you do pointless, destructive actssimply to see your name in lights.
When the next Columbine...? Are you insinuating that another crazy teen with a gun is going to go to the very same school and shoto a number of kids? That would count as another columbine. Maybe one scared little kid taking a gun to school to scare off a bully isn't. You should be careful about generalization.
let's take a look at this...
hmm :|
Again, it isn't training.

This is a post I made on a gaming forum... I have not edited it at all from the forum format, simply cut & paste... I didn't realy feel it necessary; I hoped you would be able to "figure it out". I mean, a man of your mental stature, this should be a piece of cake.. *s******* Anyway, please note that this was not originaly intended for you (as shown in the bottom paragraphs or so) but I changed by mind about sending it to you. And actually, I hope I really do get a real good bullshit answer
