He's mostly attracted to the millitary aspect of it and the asthetic. I know for a fact his racism is shallow and not deep seated but a fake belief that goes along with the whole nazi thing. He said that facism could make everyone equal and that as long as people of any race work for the common good they don't need to be eliminated but the minute they do they should be taken out.

He's hasn't really thought this through fully.

Dude, seriously stay away from this kid like cancer, he's on a road to ruin. Seriously saying that "genocide gets things done" takes away his right to call himself a human being and he is not worthy of another minute of your time. Continuing to be friends with someone full of such hate and insanity will begin to cast a light on your character, especially once your other friends and family hear his rantings. Dead weight falls and it sets you free! However, I'm sure Hitler and his old NSDAP croanies would be proud to know that he's holding rallies at Mcdonald's hahahaAnarchy4hire82

He's been my friend for a long time. I'm not going to ditch him because of his ideology. He's not disrespectfull to people in person he just acts out to get attention and scare people so they think he's dangerous and a rebel. He once called himself a Communist. I'm sure he'll grow out of it because his best friend is mexican and I know for a FACT that his nature conflicts with his nazi beliefs. I told him he would never make it in nazi germany and he admited I was right. He told me he was just attracted to the idea of it. His faith in this is weakining belive me.

I'm almost certain it's a phase he's going through. I don't believe that he's honestly thought it through in any depth, and as I'm guessing he's quite easily influenced, the first intelligent opponent he encounters will knock some sense into him. You could always confront him about it yourself.jimmyjammer69

I did the other day. I told him the failings of facism and how his nationalism and xenophobia are unfounded and just based off of frustration and groundless anger. He didn't have a rebuttal so I think I got through to him. He told me he doesn't really hate certain ethnic people individually but at large he does. I told him how he was wrong and how he should open his mind. I think his racism is shallow and based of juvinile anger and desire to belong.


He's not a bad person don't get me wrong. He couldn't even counter any of my points and he's not stupid so hopefull he'll realize he's being a douchebag.

I meant to talk about this the other day but my friend Richard and we were watching the news with me and he went on a tirade against various ethnicities. He had always used racial slurs in jest but i really didn't know he was serious.

He told me he agrees with national socialsim such as that used by the Nazi party in 1934. He told me facism would "get things done"The wierd thing is? He used to have black/mexican friends AND he claims to be open to sexual preference of any sort. I don't know where this came from. He owns a copy of Mien Kampf (hitler's manefesto) and he also has a minuature nazi flag. I thought he just liked it for the historical value because he had various other flags but i was wrong. He's1/8th jewish himself and not even full german but he claims its okay because "so was hitler"

I don't know what to say. I'm still his freind because he's cool to play halo with but he's being a douche. He got mad because I told him he doesn't know what he's talking about and is only latching onto the idea because he thinks its dangerous and "scary" He told me he has been a nazi for about a year but doesn'tcare what people think.I told him I'll be his friend but I hope he snaps out of it and realizes he's being a loser.

Its probably just a phase and I hope he comes to his senses before he says the wrong thing and gets the crap beat out of him. He did the nazi march in a mcdonalds and almost got us kicked out. He keeps it to himself now but I don't want to see him become a jerk.

Thoughts? He wasn't like this until a year ago. He's not reallly prejudice against people in person its just the ideas he holds and what he says. He's civil to everyone around him but he does stupid things in public and I don't want to see someone try to beat him up because he's being a nazi racist.

Gamestop is the only game retailer in my entire county area. I don't have options other than them.

Besides people like to complain. Whats your problem with that? Its fun and stress relieving to talk about what bothers me about a particular chain store. Whats wrong with that? Just because we don't like what the store does we should just stop going there? Maybe because we rely on them for a particular service? You can hate something and still buy stuff there.Just like you can hate your job yet still work there. We all have our reasons for hating gamestop but just because we shop there and give them money doesn't mean we have no right to complain. If anything it gives us MORE of a right.

We hate Gamestop's policies and actions but we haven't been pushed over the edge enough to stop going there/ boycott them. Maybe that day will come but this is just a forum for us to vent our current frustrations with them.

Here's a good idea for people who dont like Gamestop

"DONT GO THERE"!!!

Kage1

I am so sick of the idea that the CONSUMER has no right to complain about the service/product he is paying MONEY for. Oh yeah lets all not say anything. That will be good for helping a company realize why nobody shops there.

"Man I really hate my government" "Don't live there"

"Man I really hate my local food supplier" "Don't shop there"

There is nothing wrong with complaining. You don't agree with the opinion of the TC? Don't post here. :)

Ok let me get this straight

Because I dont agree with the TC I should'nt post here? What are you 10?

Like I said, if you dont like Gamestop, dont go there. Nobody's forcing you to go in their store. Or are they?

Nice ad hominem. What are you 5? Go ahead and post in a topic you disagree with but following your logic of not going somwhere that does something to bother you conflicts with your logic of posting in this topic you disagree with. Just saying. Lets leave personal insults out of this.

Anyway It bothers me when someone says "don't shop there" because its not really saying annything doesn'tgo anywhere. We need to voice these problems because they bother us. Maybe not enough to get us to boycott them but you get the idea.

Problems with my local gamestop stores:

1.Unhelpfull zombie like staffwho seem detached from their enviorment and secretly wishing for death.

Problems with way to many gamestops at large:

1.Poor inventory management and people who seem unwilling to make a few phone calls to see when a product is availble. If "employees" are not privy to what should be common knolwedge regarding mechandiseor at least be able to findout why are they keeping it confedential? it makes no sense.

2.Constant pre ordering badgering

3.Inflated used game prices especially for last generation software.

4.A poor quality website

Enough people have complained in my experiance for this not to be "just a problem with individual stores" It affects enough Gamestops to be a serious issue and one the company should seek to remedy.

1. All of the stores I've been at have had active staff.

1. I don't honestly know. I've never asked about when something would arrive.

2. I was only asked once about pre-ordering, back when the PSP was coming out. And the bulk of my games have come from GameStop.

3. Most of the Xbox games are around $15 at most and many are under $10. That's not really that bad.

4. What's wrong with the website? I don't see any problems with it. I use it every now and then, to check the sales flyers, but I don't know what's that wrong with it.

The only people I've heard complain about it are the ones on GameSpot.

Fair enough. Many Gamestops are fine but many are not. I'm sure your stores are in the majority but I've experianced enough strife at various Gamestop's and so have many of us on here to rub us the wrong way.

As far as overpricing they often charge 35 dollars for used last gen games. Maybe they charge fair prices where you live but not where I am. As far as preordering I haven't experianced it personally but many people including the people at Penny Arcade have experianced annoyance at constantly being asked about participation in Gamestops "Deals"

The websites prices do not match their in store prices. They are often inflated. Thats what bothers me.

If enough people complain its not just a situation with "a few stores"

[QUOTE="JC346"]You guys just need to call the wambulance.muthsera666

Why Gamestop is seriousilly lacking in many key areas. What is wrong with these people voicing their discontent with a retail dinosaur that has failed to meet the needs of its clients properly?

Because in many ways the store hasn't. I've never had a problem there, and many others with whom I've talked have not had problems either. People need to consider whether the problem truly lies with the chain or particular stores.

He does have a point, though. No one forces the consumer to shop at GameStop. There are other options. If someone hates a store that much, why does he bother to go there?

Yet he acts like complaining is some immature thing. Not shopping at gamestop means one less option for me. When I exchange my hard earned/stolen cash I expect proper service. Sure I could go to some OTHER store but Gamestop has a freaking monopoly on the local game market nearby. I have not seen a single game store that wasn't gamestop.

I don't hate gamestop. I hate their current state of affairs and I want to see them clean up their act. That is all.
