Bobby Fischer (flawed genius)

[dusty]

Hi all,

Been wrestling with whether or not I should post these links. if you watch you will understand why, and I will say right now that I dont share the anti semitic views of this chap. However I did think it a very good series of videos and I wanted to hear some of your thoughts.

My reason for posting is simply to highlight the thin line some people walk between genius and raging madman and whatever you think of Bobby it must be admitted he was somebody very special.

I hope you got to see all of the videos but if not try this one. I thought
it an interesting glimpse into an incredible mind.

RIP Bobby Fischer,

Peace,

Mark

Most of us are fucked up mentally because of our parents.
Bobby looks like he was fucked up his mun (exploiting him) and his dad (leaving him).
Plus the american goverment put alot of pressure on him.
The poor bastard didnt stand a chance at being normal.

Thw stuff he said about Jews and 9/11 shortly after 9/11 was some of the most offending and insane shit I have ever heard anyone ever speak. He totally lost his mind at the end.
