[noose] Toys 'R' Us begins to file for bankruptcy

[Master Matthew²]

parent gives child phone instead of toys -> child finds research -> parents appalled -> parents for some reason keep child with phone instead of buying toys??

even in your alternate reality your argument makes no sense.

Yet this is exactly what forgetin happens.
People arent always or even usually rational.

just because you had a bad upbringing or live in a neighborhood with irresponsible parents doesnt mean everyone or even the majority (or even a significant minority) of parents are that inept

like put it this way: if its so obvious to you, and you're not even 20, how difficult a concept do you think it is for most parents to grasp?

Matthew stop embarrassing yourself

That's a pretty pessimistic way of looking at people. I'd say that most people are rational, with few exception. You're one of the exceptions, by the way. Your experience is not representative of the world.

But yeah I'm gonna echo Ike here and say that none of the reasons you gave are reasons why a toy store is shutting down. Online shopping and stores like Target and Walmart put them out of business by carrying the same items with none of the hassle of going to a separate store.

Well, the weird thing is that people in my age group or in the age group of 55+ seem to grasp this just as well. But the people anywhere from 30-54 years old around me do the stupidest stuff.

[LeisureSuit912]

Matthew, who isn't 20 yet and hasn't raised children before, knows more about parenting that people almost 35 years older than him. Got it.

I'll just say it straight, we both know you're full of stuff. You don't have any personal experience to back these claims up. If you did, your rant here would have been more cohesive.

Give it a rest.
