I think there's a reason why White people have become more successful globally than any others...
We take risks and do things, be it right or wrong, that other races aren't quite as keen to do.
And we aren't afraid to go it alone, if need be. We don't need a family of 30 close and distant relatives living within 300 feet of each other.
Exhibit A:

YOU may have already heard about Alex Honnold, who climbed the mighty El Capitan in Yosemite National Park without any safety gear.
The 31-year-old became the first person to climb the 3000-foot (914-metre) granite wall alone without a safety harness or ropes to catch him if he fell.
There's video of this, but here's a still:

I can't see it.
Fixed.
Now I can.
Find a youtube clip of this guy climbing. It sends shivers down my spine...
This guy has ZERO fear.
You fucking WATCH THIS clip!

A mountain goat would pass on that.
The story of slave Sengbe Pieh. Now there was a truly fearless man!
YOU FUCKING WATCH THIS, MEL!
Sorry Blurt. Honnold has more ballz...
Nope.
Even I have more ballz than Honnold.
One was live footage and the other was a film with actors.
Doesn't change the historical deed, Jock.

It's a film and lots of salt should be readily available when watching it.
Agreed.
Same goes for how the media portrays Mel-sanctioned superheroes.
Blurt, the media didn't portray him in any way, other than he climbed a 3,000 ft rock wall without gear.
There is no "twist, fake news, or media bias" here.
It's really just that simple!
"...but a mind set on it, since he was a boy..."
Yeah. No spin there.
You have an uncritical mind, Mel.
I blame Budweiser.
He climbed a wall, nothing more, nothing less. He had ballz.
How you can blame the media for simply reporting on this, is beyond me...
My mind works just fine, Blurt. Most others around, I worry about.
If your mind worked fine, you wouldn't be driven to drink yourself senseless.

What the fuck is wrong with you?
You're like York County Kid... Years ago he could craft multi-paragraphed replies that were actually well versed... Now it seems he's fried his brain.
Is this you now?
Early Onset Nutiness?

Yes, but I call it Eonism.

Agreed.

I expect nothing more from films than to entertain me.
Then that's all films will ever do for you.

I'm pretty sure a video of you chugging a bottle of Smirnoff or shooting smack would give Honnold shivers down his spine too.
He'd have to be brain dead for it not to.

I have low expectations of both Hollywood and politicians and they seldom disappoint..
They're both in the entertainment business.

True.
These are overlapping domains, too.
Ronald Reagan, Sonny Bono, Clint Eastwood, Donald Trump, Jesse Ventura, George W. Bush.
What? No Dubya?
Damn, I always thought he was a clown.
My bad.

Al Franken, and of course idiots like Bill Maher, Alec Baldwin, Madonna, Barbara Streisand and Cher who can't sing or dance and are incredibly out of touch with working people, but stick their snouts into politics anyway. Progtards, is there anything they're good at or good for.
"Progtards"? (Christ, I'm going to have to start taking notes.)
Sure, maybe they're progtards, but, unlike those on my list, they're not politicians.

That's because nobody in their right frickin mind would vote for any of them.

The only worse than politics itself is when it becomes partisan.
