Jack Thompson Ordered To Take Psych Test

Posted by x3sphere on July 3, 2007 @ 12:16 pm

Guess we’re not the only ones who think Jack Thompson is in need of a shrink. An official of the Florida Bar has proposed that Miami attorney Jack Thompson submit to psychological testing and accept a 91-day suspension of his law license.

Just recently, Thompson CC’d Game Politics an e-mail of the filing, in which Thompson writes about an "ongoing attempt" to mediate the dispute:

Mediation failed today because there was no mediation whatsoever… [Florida Bar official] Ms. Tuma not only did not move off her [suspension] demand one iota, not one smidgeon, but she instead upped her demand by requiring that Thompson undergo a battery of psychological tests as part of the fabulous deal The Bar offered him…

Ms. Tuma [sic] last demand going into the mediation was a 91-day suspension, and she opened and ended with that and a shrink’s couch. This is bad faith…

This "mediation" was a charade… Finally, [Thompson] requests a status conference herein as soon as possible so that we can… shut this Star Chamber down. Thompson is not the one who needs a psych evaluation.

A 91-day suspension isn’t good enough, they need to just disbar this guy permanently.

You know there's had to be, for the last umpteen years, a couple people with a big butterfly net after that guy...

If he comes out insane, great, they can disbar him for being insane. If he comes out sane, they can find him guilty, considering he's doing all this malicious, crazy shit ENTIRELY on purpose, disbar him, and he can't plead insanity in his defense. Bwaha!

I've taken a few key qoutes from wikipedia about the guy some of them make me laugh others are just stupid.
His basic argument is that violent video games have repeatedly been used by teenagers as “murder simulators” to rehearse violent plans. Like cmon that's got some credit to it at least......:glare: (wow)
“In every school shooting, we find that kids who pull the trigger are video gamers.” Wether this is true or not try to find a kid who doesn't play video games at least a bit. Let me tell you it's not to easy.
According to Thompson, If some wacked-out adult wants to spend his time playing Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, one has to wonder why he doesn’t get a life A. he needs to get a life. B. Maybe some video games could calm him down.
Read these next 2 together and you'll just pity the guy They’re dangerous physical appliances that teach a kid how to kill efficiently and to love it, as well as simply calling video games "mental masturbation""gives you a pleasurable buzz back into your hands with each kill. This is operant conditioning, behavior modification right out of B. F. Skinner's laboratory."
These qoute's along with many other things the guys said should give the guy a one way ticket to the funny-farm.

Isn't this the guy who told Video games are responsible for making people more violent?

Chilly Willy says:

This just in: 100% of killers breath air! Yes! You heard me! Breathing has been conclusively linked to murder! We should put an end to this horrific practice immediately!! :wink:

Thompson reminds me of those idiots duped into banning dihydrogen monoxide. :biggrin: :laugh:

What the hell does that mean , does he make up crap on the spot or what?

neonix says:

Yes.

He's a complete moron, simple as that.

Cheezeball99 says:

LMAO. That's awesome. Actually, he's comparing the thrill of killing that he thinks kids get from killing people in video games to sexual pleasure, which isn't real, unless you already have a mental problem anyway.

Junit says:

So in other words he says that people get horny from blowing people in half playing gears of war?

Cheezeball99 says:

Indeed, and he's saying the actual video games are making people that way. Which brings us to pretty much the whole point of this- he's a nut. A loon.
