  1. It is always frustrating when I see people against our system and want people to change it to a direct democracy as if that has ever had a good track record or is the perfect system to use or is even right. Mob tyranny is not an answer and it never will be and I'm glad we don't elect based on the loud voice of the majority alone. Pure Democracy is not a cure, it is a disease and while our system is not 100% perfect or a cure itself, it is the only good option that we have and offers the possibility of a "cure". The real problem we have to address and change is the people in the government, the ones twisting it for their own gain and the ones stomping on the little guy.
  2. (here's hoping this thread doesn't trigger a war) It isn't X-mas yet but in case I'm not on to say it when it is: Merry Christmas guys!
  3. I agree entirely. They don't need to sell to Nintendo fans as much as they have been. They're already going to buy and have been faithful this entire time. And so long as it still appeases them (and we have no reason to suspect it wouldn't) they should be thinking about the people who don't buy Nintendo products. Getting modern games or games that PS4/Xbox or PC players generally go for is a huge step toward expanding the Nintendo name. As a Nintendo fan, it is one thing I have been wishing they would do for some time. I just don't feel the same "open love" for Nintendo that I did when the N64 or older systems came out. Now it's all about releasing a new console basically just for the new Mario, Zelda or Pokemon...
  4. @NumLock21 could you spoiler tag some or all of the benchmark images? Super slowed me down when I first opened the thread. Anyways, are these results supposed to be godly or something? Because it doesn't look like much of an upgrade at all.
  5. Right, happy trolling pal. Maybe one day you'll pull up your big boy pants. Oh! Okay, sorry for the misunderstanding on my part. I got that when he responded to me in all caps laughter over questions he asked me (I guess he really meant "repeat my opinions" not "what are your opinions?"). He isn't the first person to act like that that I have encountered though, so I know how it usually ends and know not to waste my time. I advise you to ignore him. He's shown he's incapable of proper and adult discussion and doesn't deserve anyone's time and efforts.
  6. And here you are again, acting like a child. That's not at all what I said or even suggested. I simply pointed out he's refusing some of them (not all of them like you claimed/made it seem) and that I don't know all the facts so I can't present a solid opinion on it yet. You don't know what information is in those briefings, why he refused some of them or anything else. It is insanity and ignorance to make an opinion (or expect someone else too) on a situation you don't have all the facts for and act like it is word sent from God. You quoted someone else and @ me. Was this a mistake?
  7. Do you not remember your previous comments? If you do, you would know exactly what I am talking about, which is your "BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" response to my opinions (which you requested to know) and "I'm scared" comment, which was a complete and utterly childish (and shallow) response made simply because I didn't agree with you that the things you asked me about are "super horrible of Trump" or whatever else you were fishing for initially. And yes, when you respond like this"BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" and "I'm scared" I am going to ask you how you thought it was an intelligent response, but please, continuing trolling. I won't and never will take a person who responds in all caps without any other form of answer seriously or as an adult.
  8. I responded to his questions and he didn't even have the decency to act like an adult and respond back, instead rage quitting on his keyboard in all caps to say he is "scared". If that isn't a waste of my time or anyone else's time (and mine is sparse enough as it is) then what is? Oh, look, child jokes from the person who just acted like one. You asked me how I felt on those issues and I answered them. Did you expect me to pat your back and agree with you on everything you said? If you thought agreeing with you was how it would go or make it an "answer" or that one can only be right if they agree with you, you need to seriously grow up and pull your head out of the sand. The world doesn't fall to your whims and opinions simply because you stamp your feet like a child and respond in all caps and laughter.
  9. I placed an order for this (also comes with the compendium booklet) from Ebay. I can't wait for it to arrive (and hoping I wasn't scammed).
  10. I think I'll wait to see more before I say anything. *still has hope*
  11. What a perfectly expected childish response. You aren't the first liberal or anti-Trumper I've met to deploy the tactics of a five year old and you certainly won't be the last (though I'm not sure how you thought your response was at all intelligent), but thanks for showing me early on you are a waste of my time.

    RIP Trump

    Making a point that they live there and somehow coming to the conclusion that because of that they are being briefed is ridiculous, so perhaps you should be clear instead of making a point out of them living in the White House as means to, with absolute certainty, say they are being briefed on classified information they shouldn't have been. "Giving away his business to his children is baseless"? What does that even mean, its "baseless"? So far your arguments have all been assumptions and rather ridiculous. He didn't have to do anything. He's not required to give up his business and nothing about it, unless he did something horrible or broke the law, would lead him to be impeached and fired for "conflict of interest". Trump does something good? Oh, he did it for a media stunt. Obama/Hillary/Bernie did something good? Oh, they're angels! You people are ridiculous and your arguments and reasons to hate Trump get shallower every time you open your mouth. The fact is he is refusing his salary and handing over his business so he can lead this nation and do it right. That's all anyone can say with absolute certainty. You have absolutely no evidence, just your bias and hatred of him, to say he did all of those things as a "media stunt". Why did you quote me like that? Anyways he won't be running his business, so you can stop complaining about things that aren't a problem, and even if he was still running it or did still run it as president, it wouldn't be wrong and it wouldn't be a "conflict of interest". And your example was really weak and doesn't prove it is, would be or ever will be a problem for a president. It's the most asinine thing I've read against Trump yet. And I'm not a conservative, but okay, if it helps you try to aim your argument better you can assume I am one. If the attack happened and there was evidence to point it towards an attack on the president or USA itself, then that's what it would be. I doubt it would lead to a war though, especially since Trump doesn't believe in senseless wars or the spending it would cost us. Continuous attacks by a single country or terrorist group though? Maybe it would start then, but I can't say whether I'd agree or disagree with it as it is more complicated than you realize. And as far as I'm aware, people against what we've been doing since Obama got elected are against it because it was done in the interests of foreign countries or wasn't something we needed to become a part of. He accepted a call and that alone pissed China off a little bit, so what? You really want to believe that is something evil or horrible, or else what are you trying to say here by bringing that up? And what does China seizing a UUV have to do with Trump? As far as I'm aware from latest updates from the Pentagon, we don't even know why they did it and why they refused radio-to-radio contact. Are you pinning this on Trump because it happened after the election or do you have real cause to? And you already have my opinion on the tax returns.
  13. So, have they decided to share with us this evidence to undeniably proves Russia, or rather Putin, directly involved himself with the hacks?
  14. So you're assuming most or a large majority of immigrants are illegal (which I disagree with) and so Trump hired them?

    RIP Trump

    What a radical jump. Obama's children lived in the White House. Should we assume they're privy to classified information? Trump's children are only on his transitional team and are only ever briefed on potential cabinet picks or what situations they need in order to pick the right people. And so far he's done things to show he isn't going to be in it "to be rich", such as giving away his businesses to his children and not accepting the salary (though legally he has to accept something). Your assumptions are baseless and built off MSM manipulations and fearmongering to push a criminal, election rigger or her paid off lackey. Even if he was making money or getting richer, so what? I'm not a Liberal so I don't think man making money is itself a cancer on the planet, but I didn't see you or anyone else complaining when Obama was making craptons of money or spending 72m on vacations and you wouldn't give two turds if it were Bernie or Hillary. You only seem to care because someone else told you to or because your candidate didn't get in. Hillary would have exploited the entire country to make her money. Her past shows she's willing to do that by accepting funds and lavish gifts from terrorist countries and officials who do nothing as their citizens are raped, stoned and hung for who they love, what sex they are, if they were raped, etc etc. A large portion of her campaign funds came from big corporations, foreign people etc. And he's already improving the country. He's gotten countries we have had shaky ground with to come forward seeking to make relations stronger (Syria, Russia) which is not a bad thing at all, got Mexico and Canada to agree to renegotiate or even scrap NAFTA, abandon TPP & TTIP, DOW Jones Industrial Stock reaching all-time high, got companies/businesses to bring back or vow to bring back tens of thousands of jobs or to keep them here in the U.S (Carrier etc, feel free to google, though MSM will claim its evil) and he's not even our president yet. I've got reason to have faith in his presidency and so does millions of other people.
  16. You'll be able to play and it would depend on the mods and maybe 60fps at low settings.
  17. In my opinion, yes. They felt worth the money and were just simply more enjoyable.
  18. Oh, well the Vipamz shouldn't warp unless they send ya a bad one, but in that case I still recommend the Glorious (small).
  19. Oh, you had the Vipamz one before? My bad, I didn't see it your post.
