Evil people tend to make a much bigger impact than good ones, mother Theresa may have been great, but what impact did she make?
Or, to put it another way, name a good person today? Name a good leader, a good scientist, anyone, who is almost universally regarded as good? I can't think of one, Stephen hawking maybe, but alot of that is pity.

Cause they're the losers, and the winners get to write it.

I don't think most people pity what is perhaps the most brilliant scientific mind of the 20th century. It is too bad he doesn't have another 50 years or so - I think he could probably come up the "theory of everything" that has eluded him for so long.

I likey big questions!
@Holmes; you're right when you say "programmed" because that is exactly what the mainstream media is doing to you. Social programming is a well documented fact and they are telling you what to think, like and feel. You could be a good boy and take your medicine and STFU or you could turn off your TV and get your news from a thousand different sources online. Yeah I know the mouse ain't a remote and you have to sit upright so it does take more effort. I am not interested in leading bleeding stories I want the real news so I look for it and I'm not alone.
@wolfie_cr; I don't disagree with you that for most people, blood and guts is going to out click loving father today but I don't agree that the lasting impact of loving actions is trumped by violence in the long run. I believe it was RX poster Griffin who recently put up a story that drove this point home (something about a mobster and O'hare airport in Chicago).
@buddyboy; I think you should re-check your history book on what happened to the Nazi's after WWII, google "project paperclip" then take a look at the police state that the US is becoming. Winners apparently offer contracts to the best players of the losing team.
@Stephen Hawkings; let's be honest, the guy has nothing else to do but sit around and think all day. His unproven theories are nothing more than really cool science fiction and have nothing to do with our reality. If Stephen wants to impress me with his math skills and insights he needs to go 16-0 ATS Week 1 NFL.
But he was a winner, so there you go.Columbus Day. I hear he was quite the asshole.
