For anyone wondering what thallium is. Thallium is a heavy metal used in the manufacture of electronic components, optical lenses, semiconductor materials, alloys, gamma radiation detection equipment, imitation jewelry, artist's paints, low temperature thermometers, and green fireworks. How I know all this is because I use to help my ex boyfriend cook meth. I've been clean 8 years 2 months and 11 days. All without going to jail. My husband saved my life.

Also thats why u need to always be purely honest to doctors in such situations.

"Smart" is actually not defined properly in American system. American system just evaluates vocabulary and a miniscule set of drab computational skills. When you look at eastern cultures, smart is a compilation of not just academic smartness but also application, innovation, emotional intelligence, social inteeligence, ethical intelligence, abstract thinking, big picture thinking, cross linking various aspects of life and occupations, personal responsibility, sensibility to different cultures, awareness of various perspectives, resourcefulness etc etc etc. I mean there are entire books on just each one of these subjects. In the grand scheme of things she was probs smarter than all of those people who are basically just good test takers.

The killer in this case has to be simultaneously one of the smartest and dumbest criminals in history. On one hand, he used a very potent and uncommon poison with vague symptoms that make it difficult to identify. On the other hand, he cooked up a "fictional" scenario that bore an uncanny resemblance to his crime, distributed it to dozens of people, and bragged about his knowledge of poisons to an unusually curious stranger who turned out to be an undercover cop.

@@Violetbunnyfish That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard. There are sooooo many programs that help poor people with their medical bills. Obama instituted a bunch as well. Not going to the hospital because you don't understand the health care system is your own fault. Sure we can do better but you need to do more research and actually understand how to work it to your benefit. Don't be stupid, which is what you're doing, and go to the fucking hospital.

It is awkward because he messes up and doesn't upload every week consistently

@alreadyghosts7727 Год назад

Yeah at this point he could upload monthly and I’d be a subscriber pretty much for the rest of my life

It takes a lot of time and effort to make good videos and tell good stories. From research to determining your delivery to the number of takes needed to record the whole story in one go with no editing must be an enormous time commitment for even one video.

Mr Ballen. I have had a variety of endeavors, careers, hobbies and addictions. First out of the gate - thank you for your service. I was in the Navy from 86-94. Worked in electronic warfare and intelligence. I have the utmost respect for your craft. More than you will ever know. However I digress…. You, sir, are one of the BEST story tellers I have EVER heard. Subscriber for as long as you take this. You have something very unique, special and compelling here comrade. SOOOO glad I found you.

What’s sad is that Peggy was unable to be saved and passed away from the Thallium poisoning and George is still alive to this day on death row, after committing such a heinous act.

@KatSpicert Год назад

It's not really so sad he's still alive, since he's still rotting in prison and eventually getting euthanized. But man should it have been sooner.

@frenchys_prospecting Год назад

Don’t be sad. He’s sitting in a 2x4 concrete box. I’d rather be dead.

@josephvance8900 Год назад

They should use the same thing he used on him instead of the normal "lethal dose". Which just makes you got to sleep very quickly.

@jacktheripper5661 Год назад

Imo thats much worse. He’s dying slowly in a cage on death row. He’s suffering right now.

Usually really smart people, who know how smart they are, tend to be insufferable...

@UnbeltedSundew Год назад

@@mynameiselvispresleygirlsa5911 It depends if they let it define who they are. Like anyone who lets one, rather arbitrary, characteristic define their entire ego, whether it's beauty, or athletic ability etc. they all end up insufferable, because it's not who they are. The George in this story for instance, was just a pathetic murderer and a coward.

It's far from unprecedented that murderers have been caught simply because they couldn't keep their mouths shut due to their need to boast or confess to someone about what they had done! There's any number of accounts of this type of thing happening on RU-vid.
