I'm quite sure the 1930 guy wouldn't give a crap what you thought about his benefactor, and since Capone lived in 1930 and not 2009, who are you to dismiss his opinion out of hand?

I also loved the way you judged Cole Younger in Shithead's thread. Never mind the fact that Younger's PRO-UNION father was murdered by a Union officer over a personal slight - the teenage Younger was just EVIL because he rode with Confederate guerillas. You judge people who lived in another time by modern standards and think you know what's going on? Horseshit. You're a fool.

And since you are a fool, I'll be as condescending as I want. Spare this.

Have a nice day.

You need to loosen your panties.
