#7  Far too many people daily make the choice to embrace bad personal decisions. They manage it for the most part without any serious philosophers in the fambly tree.

#6  Maybe Eric Popper is Karl's son, ergo a believer in an open society "in which individuals are confronted with personal decisions"?

#3  I thought the point of a dash cam was to capture events on the road ahead in the event of an accident. They are required for that purpose to get car insurance in Russia, I have heard, and YouTube is loaded with videos taken by dashcams facing thru the windshield out over the hood of the car. What's the point of the guy dash camming himself while driving? Narcissist much? Wasn't particularly helpful for him in this instance.

#1  11 rounds fired all over hell on I-95 interstate in Miami. He is darn lucky he did not wound or kill someone's kid (usually in the back seat of a car.

This Whale Crap level Dumb A$$ needs a few years in a Prison Criminal Mental Ward to think about it.
