Memorial Day: Remembering Gamers Who Gave Their All

To be honest, I actually find Jack Thompson a sick, obnoxious, mean, dictator-like and most of all, a wasted person. Maybe this man should spend some quality time with his family rather than make a fool out of himself and stuffing gamers into the same bag with serial killers and terrorists.

Also, those people like Jack Thompson who enjoys hiding under a guise as a person who wants to protect children from "harmful" stuff such as games and present to the public as "heroes", "saviors" and "crusaders" are actually mean-spirited and sick rather than being helpful and kind.

oh jackie boy, you must have an IQ that goes around the horn its so low.

soldiers, no matter what their innocent pastime, are heroes. so these guys enjoy shooting up CGI soldiers? who cares. they fight for US to have the right to do so as well. they fight for free speech. they fight because they believe that this nation (in its entirety) is worth fighting for.

I cannot BELIEVE that you would be willing to let your anti-gamer agenda into this. I myself do not like GTA. in fact, i try not to play it (just not a huge fan). but i would never dream of degrading a hero because he prefered to play a game that i didn't enjoy.

Saying that the fact that someone is a gamer degrades their rank is like saying that someone is a vegatarian degrades their rank. neither is relavent to the fact that they are heroes.

you make me sick, and that says a lot. I am going to visit the golden arches the day after you get disbarred.

I actually have to agree with Jack here, for once. I agree that it's stupid to refer to these people as "gamers" because they are more than that, just as a basketball player who died in Irag is.

However, I certainly disagree with Thompson's tactic of trying to elevate himself above "gamers" and making the act of playing video games out to be some sort of sick pass time. He does nothing but insult and try to stereotype all "gamers" as being lazy, stupid, crazy, sociopathic, etc....

Oh I see Jack, because we mention they played video games that we're dimishing their 'rank'? Because we mentioned their hobby they suddenly can't be hero's anymore?

Mr Thompson, that comment disgusts me...

Would you not mention that a soldier was a member of your congregation if one died in Iraq? Yes, you would

The same bloody principle applies here, they were members of the gaming community, thus we pay tribute on a "gaming news site"

I know a brain dead lawyer, dead to empathy, like yourself is finding it hard to understand this simple fact

It shows that gamers are normal, hard working people, and not the selfish, psychotic arseholes destined to burn in the fires of hell that you try to make us look like

Seriously, get over this self-righteous-as-if-your-shit-doesnt-stink, puerile, idiotic, callous aura towards gamers, be a normal human being that doesnt have his head residing up his ass, read a dictionary, and spend some time with your son

A toast to the fallen, when we next have a glass.

God Bless our soldiers,American,Canadian,British,and all the others.

I pray for our troops every night.

Thanks for the support GP,and deepest respects to the families who have lost loved ones to the wars in the Middle East.

A Salute to our men and women in the US Armed Forces ^.^
