We heard the story from Mashable and thought upon reading the title “Jack Thompson sues Facebook”, maybe the guy has a solid case. Reading further, we learned that Mr. Thompson was an Ex-lawyer (which also increased our hunch that probably this dude wasn’t a nutcase). WE’RE WRONG.

We read a few articles to discover who Jack Thompson is and good ole Google didn’t fail us.

Who is Jack Thompson?

Jack Thompson served as a lawyer at the state of Florida. He was noted as an Anti-video-game activist especially those having violent and sexual genres. Ex-Atty. Thompson believed that obscenities and violent themes shown in the global media, that includes rap music, computer and video games and TV shows, have harsh effects on children.

Thompson became actively involved on several law suits filed against rap musics, video games such as GTA, Max Payne, Mortal Kombat, Wolfenstein and many others, believing that these were the major cause of violence among the youth.

So what’s the fuss with facebook?

Being the “Dirty Harry” of cyber and media world Thompson gained enemies and protesters. On social-networking site Facebook, Thompson claimed that users made angry postings on his account while others created Anti-Thompson campaigns. The Ex-Attorney felt threatened by these commentaries  and believed that it was Facebook’s shortcomings.

He explained that Facebook should have “deleted” these mad postings on him. And for not doing so, Ex-Atty. Thompson filled a US$40 million law suit against Facebook at U.S. District Court of Florida. Although it seems, Mr. Thompson’s case is unlikely to have any success because companies like Facebook hold No liability (exempted) for what people do with their services.

Activist or  A nutcase?

Theoretically, what Mr. Thompson believed in was true. As we say, your environment molds you. Today, sex and violence are the main ingredient of video games, T.V. shows , music and the internet. But what can you do about it? Mr. Thompson’s actions made himself look like a “foolish extremist” in front of billions of people who knows what he had done.

You cannot change your environment but you can control and change yourself.

These people commiting acts of violence have done so out of their own will. A normal and intelligent person won’t kill someone out of nowhere. A normal and intelligent kid will not shoot at his classmates and teachers for nothing. It’s very absurd and illogical. Social media is just the tip of the iceberg/ the icing on the cake. The problem with these children are rooted “deeper” like history of child molestation, abusive parents, broken families, history of violence etc.

We cannot think what kind of “world” Mr. Thompson wants to live in. A video game with fairy godmother, fireflies and fairies? How about a rap music of lullabies (peaceful enough)? Or maybe a T.V. series packed with Peter Pan and Cinderella. We’re afraid this guy’s address is at La La land.

The verdict

We weren’t surprise either why Mr. Jack Thompson was “disbarred” from practicing law. This guy is a  certified “conservative” nutcase. If we can give Mr. Thompson an advise, since he cannot stomach things going-on in our society today, it would be better for him to go and live at the mountains.

But on the second thought, isn’t it mountain rangers also have satellite radios with them? So Mr. Thompson probably should settle at the middle of the Pacific ocean together with the peaceful and friendly whales.
