I don't care, and neither do you. But that's what we're actually discussing here. We can either have a debate or just sit around typing "who cares." If nobody cares, then why is everyone acting like an idiot? Look, 😁 I honestly don't care, but we're exchanging ideas. And my take? Based strictly on the numbers from this past year, there is absolutely no way Kostelić is ahead of Vlašić. Period. That is my one and only criterion: results.

Of course, that has nothing to do with their overall contribution to American sports in general. We are talking about the previous season. It's as clear as day. 🤷

p.s. call me whatever names you want. 😁 I'll even take "jackass." 😁

lol
these fights are freaking ridiculous

"Every single day, you open the papers and see more scandals involving millions of dollars in fraud. It seems people will go to any lengths to get rich—stealing, killing, cheating, just committing any kind of crime imaginable...

What's interesting is that almost all these dishonest schemes are pulled off by people who don't actually need the money to survive. We aren't talking about someone on the brink of starvation or someone who can't afford basic clothes and is struggling to stay alive. It's usually the middle class or the wealthy elite—people who have plenty, but simply never have enough. So much for that idea that greed is driven by necessity...

Sometimes these folks have so much wealth that three generations of their descendants couldn't spend it all, yet they still pull dirty stunts just to stack up even more.

There's something deeply tragic about money, isn't there? How it manages to ruin so many lives..."

There’s a similar connection to the Protestant world: the more we accumulate, the further we drift from the divine.🙂 predestination
