Gangsters were being glamorized too much in the movies, and conservatives didn't want young Americans emulating them.
I was wondering why I do not have tights or superpowers. I was so hoping to get the name of Spandex Man
I think that everyone knows not even a God can legislate morality, so why do men keep insisting they can? Words do not make perceptions, perceptions allow us to use words. When anyone claims that they can pull words out of their ass and legislate morality, then our schools have failed to teach that person simple reasoning.
And a whole populating expecting that behavior can be legislated, should realize that something is wrong with how we think altogether.

Damnit. I grabbed the wrong atomizer and just tried to clean my glasses with mineral oil.

It's not the drugs that the Don and his boys care about. What they're tryna do is fuck with the corrupt government officials that are getting kickbacks from the cartels. Why. Because a broke country is an easier customer to get over on when you trade with them.

That and the guys like playing GI Joe in those military situation rooms with the red lights and computer screens 'n shit. Your homeboy Hegseth is positively livid with excitement right now. Ever since he saw Olympus Has Fallen, he's wanted to be like Gerard Butler. Couldn't get on the security team detail, so he settled for secretary of defense. When one day Petey is moping around his office, he gets a call from the Don asking him how he'd like it if he could blow up some drug boats. Petey gets so excited he nearly drops the phone. "Finally, some action!" he shouts.

Glancing behind him at the office mirror he sees a man not in a boring grey suit but in full SEAL team tactical gear. "Now you're talking, Pete" he whispers to himself as he's speed dials his wife. "Honey, you won't believe this...."

So I'm about to back out of my parking spot and a black Camaro parks to my left. The windows are tinted, but i can make someone out in the driver's seat. She gets out and fiddles around for a second. It looks like there's a passenger (i think), so instead of reversing out, i wait a second for the passenger to get out - don't want them to bang their door or get run over. A few seconds pass. She's standing there, kinda perturbed looking. I continue waiting. Then she walks toward the truck and says, "I'm trying to get over here (pointing at the passenger side)" and i say, "oh i thought someone was about to get out and i was waiting before i backed out."

But here's the thing. She had THE most magnificent camel toes i have ever seen.... and when she came into view, my eyes instinctively went straight to the toes and could not break away for anything... so as i said that, she saw me staring at her toes and become visibly irritated.

This poor girl was/is a nervous wreck because she's stressed out for being so hot. Think of how frustrating life is for her: she has the most beautiful set of camel toes the world has ever seen, but she can't show em because nobody will be able to look her in the face when they talk to her. Wtf would you do if you were her? See what i mean?

Fun fact. Kitty did not dump Oppenheimer's ashes into the water but dropped the whole urn in. Unless the urn was found (I've not read anywhere that it has been), an urn of Oppenheimer's ashes still sits at the bottom of St. John's bay.

Fun fact. The St. Valentines Day massacre was not unprovoked. Rival gang members put acid in Capone's soup in a prior assassination attempt, which was foiled because the cook told Al about the soup, and he didn't eat it.

Al was also very conscious of his facial scars, which he earned in a knife fight because of flirting with some fella's girlfriend. This was a change of trend in the gangster zietgeist. No longer were gangster thugs showing off their scars and now wanted to be associated with the bourgeoisie of upper class society.

My Grandfather, whose profession was carpentry, drove trucks from Chicago to Detroit, for Capone. Have to pick up what you can for work sometimes. My grandmother, on the other side of the family, was making her own in her kitchen in Vermont.
Me, I just do not like alcohol.
One time, I had to have a script for something, and it had what not to eat and drink on it, but it said nothing about alcohol. I had a beer and ended up vomiting for about 8 hours. Someone did not fill out the label right.

Stop lyin', Phil. By extrapolating the probability of you lying to be cool against the probability of your grandpop actually being a driver for Scarface, i get a number value that says no way, bro.

Like I said, you are completely Illiterate. And who gives a fuck about your imaginations? I know a little of my family history. You know shit.
You judge others as if they were as without ethics and morals as yourself. So, you constantly reveal your own integrity, not mine.
I have a long recorded history fighting for truth and a long history of being attacked by assholes like yourself. Show your history, Mine is a matter of public record.

So, the old man was moving liquor for Al Capone during the prohibition. That just sounds immeasurably awesome. At any party or group gathering where somebody starts a "my family history is cooler than yours" competition, you, sir, would win the rounds every time.

I can't top it. That's for sure.

So that is it, is it, jealous that I have history and you do not.
Let me clue you into surveillances in the US. I came under FBI surveillance during the Nixon administration, just because of the girl I was dating at the time. Her parents were college teachers, and she worked for one of the Nixon polls.
Taxes are for the support of the government, yet it has always been used to fund illegal government activities against the people.
I was even threatened one time, by court police, not to ever talk to the press, or they would conjure a story to have me jailed.
You are completely ignorant.

Oh I am absolutely jealous. That's Oppenheimer level intrigue, Phil. He lost his security clearance because he drove to his girl's house to have some sexy time and because she was a communist they just knew he was too. They even sent agents to follow him when he left the country because they thought Russian subs would roll up and whisk him away to safety.

Oh, really Nixon was a Russian spy, I did not know that fool, You just cannot put 2 and 2 together to think straight about anything. Do you even know how many billions the government spends on controlling the population? You are seeing it now, ICE deporting actual Americans. The National Guard being used against Americans. Billions being spent against Americans.
You were born a dumb ass, you live like a dumb ass, and you will die a dumbass.
You see Capone, as the sick fuck he was, but ultimately, he was fighting for freedom of choice, which a government cannot legislate.

Perhaps, but how much simpler might my life be having not to bear the burden of genius? Should i for once wish not to know many things? Doesn't wizdom set limits to knowledge too?

Like Plato I teach grammar, and since grammar forms a matrix, each capable of complete induction and deduction, show me what in the whole universe cannot be known? It is a perfect, biological defense system, and we have to learn it.

I do not worry about each new way technology aids in what evil people do with it, because it is a trickle down economy, Every new weapon has become used by both sides of a fight, and always will. That is just evolution. Where do you think hackers got their tools? Not one of them was smart enough to invent them.
