I don't know why you want to insult me when you disagree with me. That's rude. I never said anything mean or bad about you.You're inappropriate and out of order. I still disagree with you is all. My topic title says he will wipe out North Korea. He said he would destroy North Korea. Destroy and wipe out are synonyms.

I call it like I see it and you have said nothing that would change my opinion of you nor would it change anyone else's opinion who is even slightly educated in this matter.

It's your opinion not to like me but I've done nothing for you to be disrespectful or rude. If that's how you are, then I understand. You're a brute, call 'em like you see 'em, without regard to anyone's humanity. That's why we have a right to disagree here in America.

Since you seem to be unable to understand why there is such a huge difference let me clarify it for you TC.

You post is a declaration of war, that means we will be striking first and as such China and Russia who are ALLIED with North Korea very likely will retaliate.

What he ACTUALLY said, was akin to "I won't hesitate to go to war if you force our hand."
If North Korea attacks first, the chance of China or Russia retaliating DRASTICALLY shrinks as the US would be defending their self, NOT taking aggressive action

You keep calling it a declaration of war. If the US nuked North Korea like Trump said they might that's a declaration of war by default. And again, I never said he declared war on North Korea.

That is exactly what your topic title infers. You only look more pathetic the more you try to deny this.

He's not saying that about any other country. Why not? because the threat is directed precisely and clearly at North Korea.

That has nothing to do with anything at all, now you are trying to segue the conversation dude...

Honestly you are just spouting nonsense now trying to defend something that cannot be defended.

Whatever, he still said he is willing to pulverize Both Korea. Think what you will. Don't know why some of you are being so stubborn today, as if what I said was wrong. The end result is still the same.

No, no it actually isnt.
Declaration of War =/= Will go to war if our hand is forced.

It's not the same and you look like an fool trying to claim that it is

North Korea dies at the hands of the US. That's the message. I mean, what did you first think and needed clarifying? The US will destroy (i.e., wipe out) North Korea. That's the message. What was confusing to you?

So you agree that it says basically the same thing but for whatever reason you think I somehow still put it wrong, as if you didn't understand it or that it is misleading, when you agree with the premise of the message?
If you want to play coy or dense, then play with yourself. I'm not arguing with you anymore after this post. Think or post what you want. It doesn't change the truth in the message.

"If you try to attack me I will knock you the fuck out bro."
"I'm going to knock you the fuck out bro I don't care what you do".

There's actually a fundamental distinction here and it has nothing to do with being deliberately obtuse.

Those are you're own words. That's even less close to accurate than what you've accused me of. It doesn't prove any poin't at all. It's a false analogy.

It's not even close
You said
"Trump just announced at the UN that he will wipe out north Korea from Earth."
("if necessary", in topic after the period to clickbait)

Trump said:
“If it [the US] forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea”

That is a MASSIVE difference

The first is pretty much a declaration of war.

The second is a warning that he will not hesitate to go to war IF North Korea forces our hand.

Not even REMOTELY close

This.

Why does so much of CE struggle with language?

Will they not be destroyed either way?

Most people here understand just fine. There are a few people who just want to object and will twist my words any way they can to reaffirm their objection to themselves, and thereby their ego. I don't even know why they have an objection. He said that he will destroy North Korea. It's what he said. That's what I said he said. I said the same thing in my own words. Both statements are true. There is no objection to raise.

There is a pretty significant difference though. One argument is a "if X happens, then I will do Y". The other is "I am doing Y."

I think for all his bluster Trump's comment is not actually all that more of an escalation than what has been said before. Although talking in terms of "destroy" instead of the usually "respond with full military action" or whatever is quite scary.

So you agree that it says basically the same thing but for whatever reason you think I somehow still put it wrong, as if you didn't understand it or that it is misleading, when you agree with the premise of the message?

That a thousand typewriters working 24 hours a day typing random buttons will, given enough time, eventually create literary genius.

Not in fact, but it's an interesting theory, like The Waffle House Index.

It was a cool store sometimes.

Dustin1280 posted...

TC this is the key point:

“If it [the US] forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea,” Trump says.

It's still ridiculous and insane, but not as insane as your title made it out to be...

Think you're splitting hairs. Result is still the same, and that is what he said. It is not a misrepresentation.

And all the innocent people who would die there and in South Korea don't matter either apparently

South Korea would be screwed. The world to systemically.

You mean, like, nuke an entire country to get rid of their 1%?

Wipe out their nation. That's what he said. And he didn't mean army to army.

He didn't literally say that did he?

It's not verbatim, but he did say that , yes. He's still talking too.

REMercsChamp posted...

And?

It's unique. He has just officially threatened to wipe them from earth. That's a little significant.

If necessary.

Stores like this are kind of irrelevant now. You can get everything you want and at much cheaper prices on sites like Amazon.

Yup.

There's a Toy's R Us around the corner from my apartment

I've never gone to it, though

Last time i've been inside one was about 4 years ago in LA...and that was just because i was with my Girlfriend at the time and we took her 3 year old cousin to get a toy...

Before that it was probably over a decade since I was last in one.

Hell, I really can't remember the last time I was in one. I think 2009-2010.

Yeah, but it might be different this time. don't know yet.

they never have the sought out marvel legends in stock

so what are they good for?

and they try to overprice their legos and scam you


if they wanted millennial's business and not little kids, they would make sure hasbro gives them ample supply of deadpool marvel legend figure, have deals on legos and make sure they got every amiibo in stock at all times

That might've helped. They still can't beat Amazon though.

Manchildren buy more actual toys these days to decorate their desks and shelves than kids actually do.

Kids are glued to screens and rarely play outside after the age of 8.

Really sad.

I'd like to believe that it will be a good game, but if I'm being honest it'll probably be a mediocre game. The first one caught a lot of people by surprise and I think they're going to "try too hard" now that they have a reputation to uphold. Sort of like with Outlast 2, or Condemned.

I kind of thought about that perspective too.

I blame you guys for growing up.

"Reuters
Sep 16, 2017
Toys 'R' Us is working to put together a loan to fund its operations in a potential bankruptcy filing that could come before the holiday sales season, according to people familiar with the matter.
The toy merchant's move underscores the deep distress rippling through retailers of all sizes as consumers increasingly shop online at sellers such as Amazon.com Inc or go to discounters such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc .
A spokeswoman for Toys 'R' Us did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The people could not be identified because the bankruptcy plans are not yet public.
The Wall Street Journal earlier reported that the company was considering filing for Chapter 11 protection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Richmond, Virginia.
There have been more than a dozen significant retail bankruptcies this year, but none for retailers as big as Toys 'R' Us, which has about $5 billion in debt and more than 1,600 stores worldwide.
A loan of several hundred million dollars as part of any possible bankruptcy filing would reassure the chain's vendors it could pay them for the loads of stuffed animals, action figures and dolls it needs to stock its shelves for the holiday season, the people said.
Part of the retailer's current financial woes stem from vendors demanding tighter repayment terms over fears that Toys 'R' Us may file for bankruptcy, the people added. The tighter terms have added to the Wayne, New Jersey-based company's cash crunch, they said.
Toys 'R' Us tapped restructuring attorneys from Kirkland & Ellis LLP, CNBC reported this month.
The retailer had already said it was working with an investment bank to assess options for about $400 million in debt that comes due next year.
Buyout firms KKR & Co LP and Bain Capital LP, together with real estate investment trust Vornado Realty Trust , took Toys 'R' Us private for $6.6 billion in 2005. The deal saddled the company with debt, limiting its ability to revamp its stores and make online shopping easier.Toys 'R' Us opened a store in New York City's Times Square this year to capture more holiday shoppers."

It's still a good game though.

yes cuz the evil within 1 was awesome. i just wish the rest of the game resembled the earlier chapters

I thought so too.

Are you interested in it? Did you play/like the first one? I do.

What else?

I'd probably need someone else to help me look at the menu and tell me what is good.

Sweet and sour chicken, shrimp, pork, or beef are good. General Tsao chicken is good. Wonton soup is good. Shrimp fried rice is awesome. Eggrolls. Crab puffs. Not really any good deserts is all.
