There's no value system anywhere that says you should.

I'll correct your typo for you: There's no value system that says you should [except the value system set up by the site owner who pays his writers to post. But I have a really great reason why that value system is stupid, so I will declare it doesn't exist. I may have a point, I may not, but I will deny that the website owners have a value system. Therefore, is it a correct statement to say "There's no value system anywhere that says you should."].

In the original movie it was Nicaragua and Cuba alongside the Russians. When it was written it was during a political crisis in Central America. China never had anything to do with it. (Which isn't surprising since China has not been historically expansionist.)

I think the GP meant that the 2012 release was actually filmed as a US vs Chinese invasion. Fearing a Chinese backlash, the invading army was changed to North Korea.

I thought the same thing myself when the father cried on camera about how traumatizing this was. Give me a freaking break - your kids saw some porn, not a video of some beheading or something. If I were a lawyer, I would *totally* tell my client to cry on camera to show how much "damage" was caused.

Besides - HOW DID THE MEDIA FIND OUT ABOUT THIS??? It's not like Gamestop would have publicized it. The only possible way this got exposed was from the customer's (i.e. the father's) side. And if he is so "traumatized," why is he making his 5 year-old repeat this "trauma" on camera over and over?

Comment Thanks Capcom! (Score 3, Interesting) 79

I had to give up modding posts to put this up, but it NEEDS to be said how cool Capcom is for supporting this. You could have legally sued this guy's ass, but instead you didn't and thanked him for his efforts.

Capcom - I am a 33 year old living in Manhattan (i.e. target demo). I was not planning to, but now I will *specifically* purchase a Capcom game as my next purchase as a way of letting you know that I support these measures. Maybe Resident Evil 6.

No, actually, I don't think things would have been different under Gore.

Would Bears Sterns and Lehman have failed? Probably either way.

But Seriously? Politics aside, if you really think a Gore Cabinet would have responded to the 9/11/01 attacks with a war in Iraq (led by the mean man who bullied Bush's dad a few years earlier), you are too easily dissuaded by the websites you're reading.

fustakrakich, I know you refuse to have a rational conversation (we all know why). We both know I was not asking for your opinion on the Mexican Civil War (although nice attempt at distraction!), the Spanish Inquisition, the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi or murder in general. I'll make it a very easy YES/NO question:

Yes or No: Do you condemn the attempted murder of a 14 year old whose crime was being a girl and learning to read?

Any reply that does not begin with YES or NO will be followed by "fustakrakich supports the murder of teenage girls who learn to read."
