Please remind me again, who is this Jack Thompson? Some kind of anti-game activist?

Like GTA makes every kid go to school and kill everyone. Some Guy was trained as a sniper on Halo etc. The only people that kill other people because of a video, are insane, even before playing games.
Watch.

To a point I agree with him. Shops should not sell 18+ / M rated games to children.
If I was working for GameStop or any other game retailer anywhere, I would not sell games to those who seem to be under age unless with proper ID.
If parents buy them for their kids, then that's their business.
But pretty much the rest he's talking about I do not agree.
If someone wants to disagree with me then feel free.

Here in sweden the rating system does not actually affect in any kind of way, you could be ten years old and noone would stop you from purchasing an 18 + rated game.
