just becuase theres one guy that makes gaming look evil doesnt mean it is, i mean if someone worked at mcdonalds and killed everyone it doesnt mean its evil
Tell me, how does he know the killer was a fan of CS, Halo, and all those other games?
If these games cause people to go out and kill people, why hasn’t the entire gaming community gone out on a killing spree?
And how does a PC or console game train anyone?
A mouse or joystick won’t show you how to correctly fire, aim, or control a gun. And the animations won’t teach you how to reload, control recoil, ect...
And CS isn’t even a MS game, so even if it was CS’s fault(which it wasn’t), it’s still not MS’s fault.

and i’m sure it doesn’t help that there is a big ass crosshair in the middle of the screen.

Yep, everyone knows when you pick up a gun, a big ol cross hair appears and tells you where you’re aiming.
Dear lord, Jack Thompson is still as big an idiot as ever. As soon as there is a murder or violent act of any kind he says, “Videogames are the problem." I swear I don’t know how a retard like him keeps his job. He is just jumping to the fact that the kid in the Virg. Tech shooting had many other problems that drove him to do that. My friends and I play many violent games and we don’t go on a killing spree. I just hope that he gets fired soon for his utter bullshit. Next he is going to blame Nintendo for making mario games where you eat mushrooms and jump on every last bad guy you see.

That’s coming from a genius who cut off the wrong leg in Scary Movie.The sad thing is, if he’s dumb enough to believe Thompson then he’d do the same thing in real life too.
I’m not much of a Halo guy, but Thompson just needs to be kicked full force in the crotch with a spiked boot. If he wants a “non-violent” award, then he should just be in an unemployment line for the rest of his life.
