What I would have liked to say, after the faux clone said “You play a terrorist.” I’d say “What! are you calling American soldiers… Terrorist! the clone would have melted.

Note: Violent games don’t produce violent people. Real life behavior leads to real life changes. Video games are video games anybody see Penn and Teller’s BS episode on this? It was actually pretty good.

My 2 Cents: I consider myself a conservative, and I’m also a teacher. In my opinion, video games, if at all, provide an outlet for frustration, which if anything, prevents violence in reality.

I don’t think that theres any reasonable proof to show that theres a coorelation between violent gaming and violence in real life. People who are already violent may indulge in gaming because of it, but the relationship doesn’t reciprocate to people without issues like that.

I’m really suprised at the lack of common ground between the left and the right on this. Free Speechers on the left, and gun rights activists on the right would fit together and shut alot of idiots up on this topic. Unfortunatley that would require being calm enough not to scream at each other for 5 minutes, which frankly is never going to happen. (Exhibit A: Congress)

If Jon wasn’t prepared, he shouldn’t have gone on the show.=)

A few sites posted transcripts of the interview before the video was up. Those transcripts included things like “uh-uh-uh” when he lost his train of thought. Other writers flat out said they could have done a better job picking apart his responses as if he was agreeing with the FOX crazies.

I just feel like the point was missed. He went out there to defend our medium and other gamers/writers decided they would take a few shots at him for doing so.

I haven’t heard the bashing, but I don’t see why you’d bash him. Fox is full of crazy people. Honestly if I were him I wouldn’t even have accepted the invitation.

In all honesty, I think the sites bashing Jon blew things out of proportion a bit. Typically, when you transcribe an interview, you don’t include things like “uh” and “um”. Sure, he froze for a bit and lost track of where his thought was going but that sort of thing happens to the best of us.

I looked on the FOX website and could not find it. If you locate it let us know.
