Controversial Opinions (For Everything Other Than DC Comics)

After that pig heart transplant thing the other day, I think that they should at least investigate the patient to make sure they are not human dirt like that guy was. He waited till some guy he didn't like turned his back, then literally stabbed him in that back, 7 times, nearly murdering him and leaving the guy, a muscled construction worker, paralyzed and in a wheelchair, where, do to his other constant health problems from the stabbing, he ODed on painkillers at 28. The heart transplant patient also was known for not taking his medication and not following doctor's orders.

He would up serving less than five years, his victim's family said, and never paid a dime to them of the restitution he was ordered to pay, (in the tens of thousands). Who okayed this guy for this procedure? He had said just before his transplant "I don't want to die". I assume his young victim said the same.

BTW, though he caused the other man's death albeit years later, and in a cowardly way, he was never charged with murder. And less than five years seems a bit light.

It wasn't Nimitz who fell for it, as he was dealing with Strategy and Logistics back in Pearl (I think). The Admiral with the fleet was Halsey.

There is an excellent breakdown on YouTube by Drachinifel - under the title of Battle off Samar. The guy has hundreds of videos about naval battles, ship classes and individual ships ranging from the Napoleonic Wars up to post WW2.

Also, I think it was "Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors". Got that wrong earlier.

So, they should have saved an experimental, untested procedure using a pig heart for someone "more worthy"?

It's a shot at life. I imagine there are plenty of others who need it just as badly and haven't basically murdered someone.

That's also probably a better title than whatever Hollywood would come up with.

Im thinking Elvis and The Beetles have something to say about the most over rated.

The Beatles may be overrated, but at one time they were, in fact, bigger than Jesus.

[Kirby101]

They aren't over rated, that's just silly.
When you are still the biggest rock band in history after 70 years, you aren't over rated.

I say over rated because The Beatles had the big break. had they not come along when they did there would have been another British band that would have taken their place and that is who we would be talking about. There are several British Bands that are a lot Better then The Beatles.

[Kirby101]

That's just not true. They weren't the first big British Invasion band. They were the biggest by a long shot because they are music people liked most. And they grew with each album, changing music as they went.
Take it from someone who was there.

Meh when it comes to my British bands I rank them 5th but not number 1. Good but not great.

Here is some real talk that bugs me. Us older people I am 40 so I am often called old, always talk about

"Back in my day we had real music."

I am not looking forward to the day in my 60's when I hear my nephews telling their kids

"Back in my day we had real music. Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber!"

Man I will throw my cane at their heads!

Your personal taste have nothing to do with them being the biggest band ever. Not over rated.

Im not saying they havnt sold a lot. Im not debating they are the biggest band. I am just saying all of those fans got it wrong and I am right. I mean come on every random guy on the internet with an option is right. At least that is what this guy on Reddit said!

And I listen to HypnoDancer every day so I know good music!

Who says you'll have a cane then?

My Mom didn't start using a cane until she was in her 80s, and even now she doesn't use it in the house except to go up and down stairs.
