I wasn't sure whether or not this would go in General Chat or Politics & Religion, but I really think this is a better place for it. This isn't an attack on Jack Thompson either, but I just wanted to draw attention to this. Didn't mean to bring my website into it, but apparently Jack Thompson sent a letter to Microsoft blaming them for the Virginia Tech Massacre, because of their game Counterstrike. Read more here. If I'm not allowed to post to articles contained on my website, please notify me of that. I didn't mean to purposely draw traffic, just so people could discuss this issue.
I play Counter-Strike daily for a professional league. Before that, I played Battlefield 2 and Soldier of Fortune 1 (and 2). It never made me want to walk into a classroom and start shooting people. I wish someone would shoot Jack.
He's a troublemaker. I dont mean it literally. Video games are about as likely to make someone snap as reading a book. If the person was going to go shoot someone, its because they had problems to begin with, not because of a video game.
