Two points:
1. Heart of America? Last I checked, America wasn't predominantly Mormon, crazy, extreme right-wing, and all about having sex with more than one underage girl at once. Maybe he should look into that a bit more. He can be the hero of Utah for all I care. I'll lean towards the normal state's ruling that he's a nutjob.
2. Honestly, where does all this videogame = violence crap start? Shouldn't we look at historical violence levels and at least see if there's a correlation? I mean, correlation doesn't equal causation, but it's a start.
http://ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/glance/cv2.htm - Oops, violent crime stayed pretty level up until 1993 (when Doom was released). Guess what happened after that? IT CRASHED! Violent crime is less than half of what it was before Doom was released. For Christ's sake, I can make this kind of stuff up.
Okay, well, let's look at property crime then: http://ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/glance/house2.htm - Oops, also crashing. It's been on a slow decline since the early 70's, and is now almost ONE THIRD what it was a few decades ago. What happened to Grand Theft Auto...?

"For Christ's sake, I can make this kind of stuff up. " - I meant "can't" make this kind of stuff up.
Christ. He sounds like a child trying to string together an argument, with stupid insults mixed in. I don't think I'd be nearly as upset that Jack was such an advocate to the many things he was, if he wasn't clinically retarded. It makes it seem like a big joke.
Actually, that's what it is, in a nutshell.

I sat on the back of a convertible today at the parade, riding by 200,000 or more people, with mothers of kids on their laps waving and saying "Thank you for trying to protect our kids."
That's a good Fantasy, Jack.
Now, I live in Miami and I don't recall any parades for fascists or nazis.

Comment from the original article I thought needed to be shared:
"This is MADNESS..."
"No... This is UTAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"
* someone kicks somebody into a pit *

"Dennis, you have posting up here calling me a douchebag and the like."
"...riding by 200,000 or more people, with mothers of kids on their laps waving..."
Is it just me or do both of those "sentences" make absolutely no sense?
Dtoid loves ya Jakiee.

Yes, all 200,000 people were cheering on you and you alone, Jack. And every mother and child said, and I quote, "Thank you, Jack Thompson, for protecting the children. You are the only one who does."
If this doesn't prove Jack Thompson has delusions of grandeur and a healthy messiah complex, I don't know what will.

I'm surprised (and relieved) we don't have some JT doppelganger up here in Canada. If we do, we can be sure it doesn't generate its own press.
Also, I'm glad I watched the clip AFTER reading the article. It brought to mind Thompson standing in a spotlight yelling, "Violence!"..."Kids!"..."Bad games!"
I lol'd.

Oh behalf of my state, As one of the few sane people still here, Let me apologize for having anything to do with Mr. Thompson.
Also let me apologize for not taking the opportunity afforded to me to put an end to this menace once and for all.
But in all seriousness... I'm ashamed of my state, But that's honestly nothing new. And after reading the article and finding out that it's Provo (The home of BYU and one of the churches main `strongholds`), I'm not at all surprised. Salt Lake is much much more liberal and open then anywhere south of it. Provo is full of right-wing conservative nut jobs.

And here we go again...
No, really, more attention to this man, 200.000 people called him a hero? Really? You in the US deserve this guy.

"...this site is nothing more than an opinion toilet where gamers who have absolutely nothing better to do make up "facts" as if this were some kind of Sims game."
Wait. What!? Did he just accuse someone else of making up facts?! That's ironic as fuck.

I believe in my heart of hearts that, despite how much i disagree with Jack's "vision/purpose," if he simply wasn't a stupid twat when he spoke that I could at least respect him. Every time he says anything, though, it just makes him sound like an immature prick with an ego that knows no bounds.
He deserves a slap in the face and a slice of humble pie. Dude's a prick. Plain and simple.

Anyone else sometimes get the feeling that this really is just one big scam, and Jackyboy is pulling the wool over our eyes? Like he's intentionally trolling in real life, and we're just helping him? That he's purposely martyring himself?
Hah oh God. Jack and Dennis duke it out in the comments!
"You fascist immoral jerks can have your games. I have the heart of America. And you, Dennis, are a liar."
WTF Jack? The heart of America is not the conservative Christian agenda...

Well, I consider myself to be conservative, and I think that Jack Thompson's a dickhead.
So, not all conservatives are bad. It's just the vocal assholes who make the rest of us look bad.

I finally realise the true usage of the lostprophets t shirt "MEGALOLZ". Thank you Jack Thompson, thank you so much! YOU WANKER!
The part of me created by spending far too much time on 4chan wonders if Jack Thompson is really just the most successful troll to ever work the interwebs.
FECKING HELL!! Jack-o needs to do so much research on the comments he has made,this little bit
"Dennis McCauley and his little lemmings here were so cruel and so bigoted and such liars that what went on here confirmed their choice and made the award all that sweeter."
I see what he's trying to say but his use of LEMMINGS was uneducated, lemmings do not ,as the myth claims, follow blindly or commit mass suicide to reach their goal that's just a misconception.
Note to JACK THOMSON (I hope you're reading this cos you clearly have nothing better to do that google your own name)
Educate your self before spouting tripe, I left school before getting a decent education , I've never read the bible nor had a great level of religious education, My pastimes consist of all the things that have been blamed for increased crime and suicide Eg. Heavy metal music, rap music, horror and action films, video games etc, Plus I also work in an independent video games store, and I work on Sundays which I hear is somewhat frowned upon in some religious circles, surely Mr Thomson I should be some sort of social degenerate who steals, kills, beats, rapes, and commits suicide at the end of it all, but instead I am a loving Husband and Father, I work 2 jobs so that we can have financially comfortable life.
I've been listening to Metal music and playing video games since I was about 4 or 5 years of age, now I'm 29 and I've had no urge to commit any criminal act. How can that be if by your logic just one of these thing can lead me to a life of crime.
I hope you read this JACKhammer
Kind Regards

Man I'd love to have an actual chat with Jack, I think given our differences we'd get along. :D

I must have missed one of The Sims expansions, because I can't for the life of me remember when the point of the game was to "make up 'facts'".
Why do we even listen to him anymore, we know he is fulla shit, we know the world is nuts and shit like this always happens. Until we get gaming more manstream the world will look down on us "Nerds"
It's alright Mxy, there were a lot of those expansions to keep up with. The one you missed was Sims 2: On the Campaign Trail.
As a resident of Utah, I feel it is necessary to point out that we're not all completely insane.
Unfortunately, all the decision makers in the state are quite looney.

Also after reading the article on GP, this festival takes place in Provo, a city about an hour south of Salt Lake City. Provo is the Mormon mecca. It comes to no surprise that they would nominate JT for such a "prestigious" award.
Out of anyone they could choose, they're naming Jack Thompson an American hero? Well it's official then.

Heh, just saying... to get the "heart of America", wouldn't he have to slay America first?
Also, what's with the prejudices against Mormons? They should be respected as much as followers of any other flavor of religion (ie Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Jews...), and they outlawed the polygamy thing a loong time ago afaik.

heh- sometimes you can't help but laugh when someone who attempts to censor people gets the freedom award and those that promote expression are fascists.....
