hmcindie Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 He apparently more than likely used the Flat Earth as an excuse to get more money and be more public. He was more of a daredevil than a flat earther. He tried raising money for the rocket and couldn't get any before he realized to use "flat earth" as a ploy. And it worked.

'Living out his dream' is almost as criminal and silly as his attempts. This doesn't mean the story of this is contained in a single link posted anywhere.

WTH I've already answered you above-posted: I even quoted myself my 1st post where it is very clear what I think about many silly people we can find everywhere! There's no a single reason for something. The world is not B&W if that's what you insist to see. If you want to believe I have a political motivation against U.S. I won't call you stupid only to not insult you. But if you think you can read my thoughts, what else can I write to you? : -) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can deflect on page 2 and say you started this thread because the story has a connection to photography but that's not why you posted it. It's a waste of time and has no connection to photography. What camera was Mike using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'll read carefully my post or stop to do such little game you're showing off, you'd fairly realize I have no fault you think pictures is all about the gear you're using. It's written there in my posting. Go and read again. Waste of time is to read your ad hominem posts here. It is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emanuel Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 You're repeating yourself ad nauseam and only giving a self-pity-portrait of your own, I'm sorry to see. I've added my reply to such question not coincidentally in the first post of this page without mention my other answers to follow. PS: If I extended one single paragraph or a couple of it somehow edited then in the next hour forum software settings conceded to us by Andrew and you didn't read for any reason, I invite you to scroll up this same page and read, very simple task : -) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emanuel Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Let alone this: All this could be trivial if a life wouldn't be lost... In a very useless purpose indeed. Actually the main reason why I am here. I can't be indifferent, I am not, I won't, I will never be. If this is to be politically motivated, so be it. @Grimor Not La Coruña (a bit strange... it would be too far away from Barcelos anyway), but nearby A Cañiza, somewhere between Pontevedra and (closer to) Ourense, the same Galicia obviously : -) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emanuel Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 @iamoui I understand your position, I don't like the State either to rule my world without mention all the usual stuff about individual freedom and the customary yadda yadda... Just a way to represent all of us. Is it in the U.S.? OK, I am American citizen for the subject matter then : ) Some other point turns out to be present as well: What society is this one where indifference on such, like human life, coexists at the same time as we all just attend this whole damned circus on TV?? Are you happy with the show? (On TV, Internet, etc) I am not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emanuel Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Very true. Authoritarian ticks is something we must fight, obviously. Indifference, no less.

newfoundmass Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 People give Emanuel way too much shit for silly reasons.

newfoundmass Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 And if you can't read this story, as sad as it is, and acknowledge Mad Mike was a bit of a dipshit and a sign of the weird times we're living in, I'm not sure what to say. P.s. I miss when it'd automatically merge posts together. Sorry for back to back posts. Emanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
