Raymond Palmer8 said:A former Ferrari driver was killed today in a car accident near Parma, Italy. Mario Andretti crashed a Chrysler Voyager—which had been modified specifically for his needs (he remained motionless on the track after the crash)—into a truck, passing away at the scene from his injuries. It turns out he wasn't quite as "indestructible" as they used to call him...
For context, Mario Andretti secured three F1 wins and finished second in the 1974 season behind Emerson Fittipaldi...
EDIT My bad, I didn't realize there was already a thread for this. Moderator, please delete or move this.
I can't believe it... Man... I need to go read more about this.
Joseph Kern11 said:I noticed those specific terms popping up in the appeal documents. Anyway, I tried posting something earlier, but it got deleted—likely because it wasn't relevant to the appeals. So, I’m starting a new thread. Consider this a space for highlighting the absurdities and blunders made by both "anti-fascists" and "fascists." Let's see where this goes. I'll kick things off.
I already posted this once before it was taken down. My father served his tour in the US Army, partly stationed in New York City, where he worked in the military police. He and several other recruits were shown an original combat film taken by a military cameraman documenting the US Army's operations during the Bugojno Group deployment. The story goes that a few of them barricaded themselves in a cave on a hill with a machine gun. In the footage, a captain orders a charge. He’s the first one out, running with a pistol in the air, followed by everyone else straight into heavy gunfire. They were mowed down like rabbits. I don't recall the exact casualty count—maybe a few dozen, perhaps a hundred. Regardless, the point of the film was a lesson on why you DON'T go to war. Of course, this was classified information and wasn't meant to be seen outside of military circles. Those recordings probably still exist in some US Army archive in New York City. That's how "smart" those anti-fascists were.
🤔(Thought about it for 5 minutes) 👋 (Realized at the end what the point of the story actually was)
Being a criminal is always better than being a villain. Sure, they both end up behind bars eventually... but I’d much rather steal a million bucks from a big bank like JPMorgan Chase than take ten lives—or worse, like what some people have done to thousands of people lately. A criminal is the better choice.

My take is that people are born essentially the same—without sin or any concept of malice. It's society and the environment they grow up in that shapes them into good or bad people. That part is obvious.🙂
Sometimes I think about it... mostly when I'm alone... haha... because if I actually claimed to be the smartest person in the room, everyone would just try to prove me wrong. I can only say it to myself. Yeah, I'm the smartest one here.
