Videogaming makes you kill people, claims Jack Thompson

Have a look at this, and tell me your thoughts.

I must say, this Jack Thompson fellow is an utter jackass (see what I did there?). A kid killed his parents and Grand Theft Auto was blamed.

That kid must've been a nutcase. Gaming doesn't make you do such things, unless you're an idiot.

One of my biggest laughs came from seeing the guys who make Penny Arcade. You'd think they drew the characters after themselves, yes?

Whoa. This whole time I had thought they drew Gabe and Tycho after themselves.

Just to let you know.

Oops. Apologies for making a similar topic.  :?
All is forgiven my son. But yeah, I think he moved on from video games to something else.
