he basically just worked for the other soldiers. it's not like he was in active duty

>>69514254
Honest to god he has such a face for showbiz that he doesn't even look like he's a soldier, moreso in a halloween costume

Not true. He forewent being in Special Services where he could have just performed shows for the other soldiers and lived in priority housing and decided instead to be a regular soldier.

Mike Scalzi from Slough Feg is a professor at some college in California.

Natalia O'Shea (Melnitsa, Xelavisa, and Clann Lir) has a PhD I think, teaches at some universities occasionally, and has written several academic papers.

Not sure if they're necessarily "admirable" but teaching is admirable I guess.

What the hell does she have PTSD from? Was she raped or something?

>>69514484
Yes, psychologically, which is even worse.

>>69514484

Unless you've been a woman in a world controlled by men then there isn't even any point in explaining it to you.

Just a really nice guy

>>69514299
she at least demonstrates that they can pretend

Frank Zappa. He fought censorship laws, the PMRC, he was very outspoken politically, he was pro-autodidact, he was an unofficial American ambassador to Chezkoslovakia, and he actively tried to get more people to exercise their right to vote. Those are just off the top of my head.

>>69514505
He was also against drug use and recognized the harmful effects of aspartame before it became publicly known.
>>69514505
Are you saying that she was raped psychologically?

>>69514617
he said his lifes work didn't matter on his death bed

>>69514505
maybe she were cuckolded

>>69514254
No; he was debatably a pedophile.

>>69515078
literally every rock star had sex with 15-16 year old groupies

>>69514347
you're actually right. probably 80% of his fans are high schoolers who appreciate him solely for having cool tshirts and giving off an edgy vibe.

She got raped when she was 19.

Once saved a 4 year old girl from a car accident and visited her in hospital during her recovery.

He had a lot of problems outside of that, but that's pretty commendable

Elvis Presley fucked 14 year old girls and abused the shit out of prescription drugs while claiming to be anti-drug.

>>69515682
neat

Crime is viewed more as just simple misfortune over here in northern Europe/Russia. Or it used to, to a greater extent at least.

That's how traditionally it was in this part of the world.
We don't have a crazy evangelical fundamentalist society like with burgerland that's all based around blame, sin and guilt or whatever.

If you showed Varg's photo to someone here and told them he'd killed a guy their reaction would probably be something like "Oh, is he a nice guy?".

So there's nothing stigmatizing or controversial about posting Varg's photo. Crime is handled extremely dryly and acceptingly in our culture.
At least in comparison to the banal outrage of American society/media.

I dunno why people are trying to make him a meme aside from his music, but it's really fucking stupid.

The thing about that is he didn't understand the connection. He was addicted to prescription drugs and he thought it was ok to take them since they were prescribed by a doctor and not from the streets. Basically, he thought any drug coming from a doctor would be helpful to him and perfectly safe. He was also anti-drug because he thought all the psychedelic stuff from the 60's was bad and whatever (that wave of associated music killed his career).

He's basically positivity incarnate.

>>69516150
ODB also used to take a limo to pick up his welfare check.

That's pretty admirable in my book

What?

>>69518395
It's just an urban legend
He actually told the Catholics to fuck off

These blokes cornered me in an alleyway when I visited Manchester. I figured they'd kick me in the cock an steal me wallet but they gave me a fag and we went to a pub together. Nice lads, those Autechres.
