That doen't make sense. I never said that I don't believe in evolution. And to my understanding, Darwin himself was a Christian (correct me if I'm wrong).

just because they fought for freedom doesnt mean they are great. Talk to Ghandis kids ask them what it was like not to have a father around. MLKJR cheated on his wife all the time. Heroes are all relative, just keep that in mind.

That's right. And I think most people here understand that, which is probably why arguing has been minimal on these two threads. Because I know there are many who have widely different views, posting people who are complete opposties and all. But I am quite happy that people aren't flaming each other for their thoughts. :D

[crystalklear64]

Lets see here, I'm gonna have to go with Adolf Hitler, now before i'm flamed to death, understand that this was a man with a mission, a mission he was determined to carry out until the bitter end. He struck when the German economy was low, and the need for a leader was high. I do not agree with what he did, but I do admire him for his political mastery and his stark effeciency.
P.S. Killing Jews is wrong.

But how does that make him one of the coolest people in history. I would say it doesn't. I know he was determined but he was determined to do very "uncool" things.

Not a good selection at all

Hey Sneaky, do you know where I can find out info on this? Because I have heard that forever, but have never found any confirmation of such a thing. You would thing there would be info on someone so famous who did something like that...

To go along with C.S. Lewis, I think we should add his good buddy J.R.R. Tolkien.

There is no truth to the rumor that Mr. Rogers was once an Army sniper, a Marine or a Navy SEAL. (Similar untrue stories are told about John Denver and TV's Captain Kangaroo.) Read all about it in our loop Legends of E-Mail. http://www.who2.com/fredrogers.html

You sir/ma'am, are (I hate to say it) a shaq-fuing retard. our economy during those times also weren't in the best circumstance (the great depression anyone) but did we have an evil unruly dictator come to our head and save us? no, our great nation was built on hard work and that is what got us out of that dperession. that man is not cool, he should be on the list of evil men.

George Lucas

Well, until Episodes 1 and 2.

[hiccupleftovers]

Still,we should still thank him for giving us the original trilogy and the expanded universe with Timothy Zahn, Keving J. Anderson, etc (minus Barbra Hamby).

Far as I'm concerned, Lucas is a major ass, in no way would I ever label him cool. This guy is a conceited jerk who ripped off many time-tested movie formulas, set them all in a soap opera in space, and got phenomenally lucky with his casting. After that he declares himself a genius and milks the idea by selling tired retreads to a legion of irrationally loyal dorks.

Of course thats just my opinion... </Rant>

I don't think fictional characters work.

[mrpotatohed]

Oh, no fictional charactors? hmm... well then I pick zarduul the destroyer, scurge of the 22nd century. He is scheduled to be born 2189 and therefore not fictional.


:P

Otherwise, im sticking with gumby...

P.S. Killing Jews is wrong.

his beliefs were wrong and so were his actions, but I have the upmost respect for him and Napoleon.

countries smaller than the state of Texas basically took on the whole world and almost won. If it was not for the mental problems hitler was having, he may have won the war

people never give him props for as brillant as he was. To exploit a whole country, and gain power as he did is just amazing.



and for those who called the kid a moron, you opinion is understandable, but have less hate for Hitler and more for Stalin. That man killed 20 million of his own people and sent many more to their death in war.

Ummmmm... I don't agree with Hitler being praised, but your argument doesn't hold water. Your whole statement is based upon the economy and the great depression. Well, guess what brought us out of the depression? WWII... Your agument seems to support Hitler being named more than the other guy, IMO.

Heh, I knew if I gave it time, someone would catch hiccupleftovers' flawed statement without out me having to rant. Mad props and stuff to MorPhiend.

Now for the rant... why do some people have to be so closed minded? Instead of flaming, why not offer an alternative or just leave my choices alone. If I think Hitler was cool, then in no way does that affect you. Lets all play nice before someone puts out an eye >_<
