the only one that got me was the canceling of las vegas on USA. I mean the main characters wife was in labor in an elevator on the season cliff hanger and it got cut due to the strike. Other than that though, yeah didnt really do much
that wasnt proof in the slightest way though. This is the problem with your way of thinking. you see a problem that doesnt exist, you have no solutions that arent in of themselves racist to fix the problem because forced diversity IS racism.
no its really not short sighted. If we ever want to move forward, or progress if you will, we cannot keep hanging on to the historical discrimination as an excuse.
I dont disagree that different people with different viewpoints are good, but the point remains that if they DONT have good points of view but are hired specifically to fill a quota, that is almost invariably BAD for the same company
i do??? not really. I believe that the climate is changing and that humans may even have a slight play into it.
what I do have a problem with is laws being written to "fight" the "war on climate change" because as we all know, anytime there is a "war on..." it isnt meant to be won, its a pork project. war on drugs war on poverty. none of them have any end goal. I see the same thing happening here
there is a huge difference between denial and what i feel we should do about things (or not do)
maybe its difference in the states vs where you are? we dont have a VAT so i cant speak on that. i can assure you that the cex is reasonably priced in my local store for those impulse buys, sure i can save a few ordering online, but when they sell a used game for 20 that new is 65 and used at gamestop is 55, its reasonable for an impulse buy. plus they still have vintage carts.
I found my CEX paid more out than gamestop (and charged less for the used games)
also i am more of a collector than a gamer. I play but im not the target demographic for the gamestop type. I buy a game, generally i keep the game and i want it new not used (or at least if i buy used i want the original case not just a sleeve)
just 2 days ago i went out to find a used PS3 (brother in law gave me a few dozen games but his system broke) went to the 2 game stops in my area (only about 1 mile apart, one in the mall other in a strip mall) they wanted 180 bucks for a 160 gig slim model. went to this place called CEX in my mall which seems pretty much like what funcoland used to be, and got the 250 gig slim model for 90 bucks.
gamestop will never survive on its model, they give you pennies on a trade in and keep the resale way to high on used games.
another time i remember trading a used AAA game in and got maybe 10 bucks for it, only to see them selling it used for 56.99, new 64.99. The place is horrible for gamers

.....so its a tax..... glad we cleared that up
no, thats what the rest of the world wants, I dont see other countries stepping up to make sure the oceans are free for trade.
I dont want it, neither do most americans, the rest of you should step up your defense spending so we can drop ours
for such a low UID, that had NOTHING to do with the comment you replied to. Getting senile in your old age gramps?
just because he removed a regulation doesnt mean the people still cant buy the better products.... we dont need a babysitter
If we do nothing to reduce our carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions,
but.... we HAVE been doing things to reduce our CO2 emissions. so.... fear mongering??
the point was however if richard can do it, whats stopping others? The only thing i see stopping them is the union

you cant "lose" something you didnt have to begin with. they really need to stop using the words wrong
you are an AC, you dont have facts
that wasnt proof in the slightest way though. This is the problem with your way of thinking. you see a problem that doesnt exist, you have no solutions that arent in of themselves racist to fix the problem because forced diversity IS racism.
no, the answer is you dont get to tell others how to run their businesses.
if you dont like it you start your own. Stop with the BS
not sure why this got modded down, its entirely accurate
ok...so get a masters or PHD? that isnt a barrier in the sense i was speaking here. that actually goes along with my "best person for the job" point
no its really not short sighted. If we ever want to move forward, or progress if you will, we cannot keep hanging on to the historical discrimination as an excuse.

did you just assume my gender????
there are zero barriers for entry in the workforce today. this push for diversity for nothing other than the sake of diversity is pointless.
the best person for the job regardless of race or gender is how it should be, nothing else.
you dont need one if the car never leaves your own property
i do??? not really. I believe that the climate is changing and that humans may even have a slight play into it.

clearly you have no idea how libel works. nothing milo has done reaches that level

funcoland was by far the best game store ever
not in my store, most games were well below gamestop used prices and way below new. just got a ps3 there 2 days ago (first time shopping at one ftr)
