Everybody has their own opinion.

Stop acting like cry babbies, and practice a bit of tolerance.

I'm surprised Everest isn't higher, a good amount of advertising dollars were spent on that movie but it didn't open in many theaters (545). Meru did not have much advertising and opened in very few theaters (7). By contrast the top 5 grossing films each opened in about 4,100 theaters.

Do you think that if those mountaineering films were not censored by the owners of cinemas and distribution chains they would be as successful as the top grossing movies?

Yes

And this is why an autocracy only works in theory.

So these are the American Values that the USA wishes to establish all-over the world in the epic struggle with the Axis of Evil?

Honnold and Caldwell are representative of the more traditional American values of pioneering individualism and individual grit in the face of a savage wilderness. This is not encouraged in today's America, where the public is steered towards a Disneyfied herd mentality: the Roman mob cheering at senseless amusements while Nero's spies peer over their shoulder...

Why do you compare the USA with Rome? Carthage is a far more appropriate comparison.

Came across this video of some roofers.

The video is not as interesting as the comments. For they finally resolve the puzzle.

We can only hope they don't reproduce. Let the true savior of life Charles Darwin take the wheel here, and prevent the reoccurrence of massively unsafe risks to the lives and property of others.

This kid is a fucking asshole. If he fell from that height he could very easily kill other people, or at the very least severely traumatize them when they see his body splatter in front of them. Not to mention the lawsuits that his family would file against the city and construction company. The sad thing is this is a fad on YouTube, but it's mostly in Russia. The only way to prevent copycats here is to throw the book at this kid. Real jail time.

He should get ten years in prison, period.

jesu, joy of man's desiring wrote:They could all be bizarre, Illuminati perverts!

In 18th century in Germany a man was killed by a lightning. The police had found on his body a manuscript titled "The New Testament of The Beast." The man was a member of Illuminati masonic lodge, to which the founders of the USA had also belonged. They copied The Declaration of Independence from The New Testament of The Beast.

jesu, joy of man's desiring wrote:So bend your knee and kiss the ring of President Trump!!

Stop attending The Beast and plead allegiance to the legitimate ruler of America, Prince William.

Does he really only earn an average American salary? I read somewhere that he donates a third of his income to his foundation, which is around $50,000 a year. Meaning, he should be earning $150k or more

Even if your number is true it is 100 times less than what many golfers earn.

A daredevil skydiver and former television host who tried to parachute off the Empire State Building has escaped a prison term despite requests from a high ranking police official and the owners of the Manhattan landmark that he be jailed.
