    THANK YOU.

    After all of the horrible attacks on video games as the source of children’s misbehavior, this nutcase has finally been taken down.  It always amazed me how he could spout such nonsense.

    If children play very violent video games, can they themselves have some kind of outward effect on society?  Absolutely!  But the solution was never to ban the games themselves.  No!  There are MANY types of available media that can cause these types of things: gory and sexual movies, books, music, television, AND video games.  It is up to the PARENTS to decide what their children do!

    Do you think my dad was gonna let me buy BMX XXX because it was a video game?  (Bad example: that game sucked, even for softcore porn.)

    Unfortunately, it seems he’s not “done” yet.  He’s not allowed in the courts, but he still has a big mouth.  We’ll see what he does with his supposed fame.
