Jack Thompson Served With Order to Show Cause
cli_rules! writes "DailyTech has reported that Jack Thompson has been ordered to explain himself. 'Therefore, it is ordered that you shall show cause on or before March 5, 2008, why this Court should not find that you have abused the legal system process and impose upon you a sanction for abusing the legal system, including, but not limited to directing the Clerk of this Court to reject for filing any future pleadings, petitions, motions, letters, documents, or other filings submitted to this Court by you unless signed by a member of The Florida Bar other than yourself.'"
If you think about it, courts are murder simulators, or at least very damaging to society. I mean, you can go there any day of the week, and see ruthless criminals! This would definitely damage impressionable young childrens' minds.

So,you see, the Florida Bar means nothing to Jack Thompson. I guess not even Chuck Norris scares him...
I especially love that he never brings up the 99.9999999% of normal people who play violent video games and DON'T kill people,
You're exaggerating. There's no way it's more than 99.9999%.
...the true meaning of the violent-gamer term "PWNED".

Yes, and Jack Thompson is just the sort of Champion of the People to do it!

Get him hooked on a videogame himself and he'll soon change his tune. You just need to find somethinmg he'll relate to...
How about:
Grand Theft Auto VIII: Ambulance Pursuit!
In a survey of 100 programmers, 111111 thought that duck-typing was a good idea.
He's abused the legal system like a 14-year-old boy upon first discovering his own peenor: often and badly.
I fully expect, as they're dragging him away, him to yell, "But.... but I'm INVINCIBLE!"

You are confusing "crazy" with "stupid".
Wow, is he sending threads from /b/ to judges now?
I mean, as long as there aren't any more school shootings he can use to pump up his books and to send out tons of press releases and offers for paid appearances, he should be able to whip up an answer and send it over. But if a deranged youth kills someone, he might not making it. He's got to make a living after all. Profiteering ain't easy.

sellacious : adj - appealing to one's baser need for cash
Example: "Mr. Thompson's sellacious behavior may indicate that he is a money-grubbing attention whore."
How's that? I do believe this is my new favorite word.
Can I stop this thread right now by going straight to the end and asking, So if you had the opportunity to go back in time and kill Hitler in 1925, you wouldn't do it?
they pull the same thing on the RIAA for abusing the legal system?
Hail Eris, full of mischief...
E pluribus sanguinem
Who cares what the order of magnitude is.
If banning video games saves just one innocent person from being murdered, it's worth it!
Also, I think we should ban feeding milk to newborns, for the same reason. It's well known that virtually 100% of hardened drug addict criminals started out by drinking milk as babies...
If you disagree with me on social issues, then it's pretty clear that you are a narrow-minded bigot.
Nope, but he does post on Slashdot... http://slashdot.org/~God
11th Century Man says: "We must end the horrors of sword culture. Violence would cease if only we could prevent pointless veneration of the sword." 11,000 B.C. Man says: "Rock culture bad. Too many rock kill." Tipper Gore says: "I agree with 11,000 B.C. Man. Rock is kiling us. Rap too."
Hitler was reportedly "despondent" over not being able to sell a single painting as an art student (he had no talent, from the sample I've seen.) Maybe the answer is to go back in time and buy his shitty painting of a flower.
