Post subject: top ten Americans of all time |
  |
|
by "American," I mean current US citizen, Native American, or US citizen at the time of death.
1. Abe - Liberated millions, united the country
2. Einstein - Visionary, genius, pacifist
3. MLK - teachings of Jesus + peaceful ways of Ghandi = Great American
4. FDR - great leader during the Depression and WWII
5. Edison - greatest inventor of all time?
6. Orville - the plane
6. Wilbur - helped Orville
8. Disney - one of two on this list who clearly sold his/her soul
9. Chief Joseph - even when his tribe was unfairly invaded, he was a pacifist and a great leader
10. Oprah - most successful black woman in American history. Also has no soul, but is a great American story.
notables absent from my list: Washington, Jefferson, Franklin......
No slave-owners allowed.

1. Thomas Jefferson - Father of modern democracy (I spit on Adam's rule)
2. Abe - For reasons we all should know
3. Martin Luther King - For getting so many streets named after him
4. Ronald Reagan - Standing up to communism
5. Adam Smith - Father of modern economics
6. William Buckley - Bringing conservative thought to the mainstream
7. Edison - Great Inventor
8. General Patton - Because he reminded everyone that America kicks ass!
9. Henry Ford - Made America an industrial powerhouse
10. (tie) Bill Gates/Sam Walton - Better success story than Oprah any day
Does anybody feel concerned that there is hardly anyone on these lists that is alive!?

ditch all the pacifists, America was built on kickin ass.
The reason the country is so pussified today is because people won't say whats on their mind anymore because they are worried about hurting someones feelings.
1. George Washington - Set the standard
2. Thomas Jefferson - Just like the beatles, America wouldn't have made it without a great writer putting it all on paper
3. Ben Franklin - you have to big time to be on the $100
4. John Hancock - his signature started the trend of bigger is better
5. Thomas Edison - God let there be light, Edison bottled it.
6. George Patton - redifined kickin ass American style
7. Harry Truman - dropped THE Bomb, that took huge brass balls.
8. John Wayne because the characters he played on screen where what we all wanted to be.
9. Ronald Reagan - Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall....or we will fuck you up.
10. John DeLorean - Did coke, invented a time machine, but most importantly and less notably was the major force behind the 1964 Ponitac GTO, THE FIRST MUSCLE CAR. The ultimate sign of America: Loud, fast, mean, doesn't take shit off of foriegners

So MLK didn't really speak his mind?
| Quote: | | 1. George Washington - Set the standard |
According to whom? You speak as if he really was the first President.
| Quote: | | 2. Thomas Jefferson - Just like the beatles, America wouldn't have made it without a great writer putting it all on paper |
By putting TJ on your list, you either- hate black people
- love fucking white women
- all of the above
| Quote: | | 3. Ben Franklin - you have to big time to be on the $100 |
So why isn't Grover Cleveland on your list?
| Quote: | | 4. John Hancock - his signature started the trend of bigger is better |
*wishes there was an emoticon for making a masturbation gesture*
| Quote: | | 5. Thomas Edison - God let there be light, Edison bottled it. |
Now we're talkin'.
| Quote: | | 6. George Patton - redifined kickin ass American style |
Two good ones in a row.
| Quote: | | 7. Harry Truman - dropped THE Bomb, that took huge brass balls. |
You're on fire.
| Quote: | | 8. John Wayne because the characters he played on screen where what we all wanted to be. |
Whatever.
| Quote: | | 9. Ronald Reagan - Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall....or we will fuck you up. |
The idea that Reagan should be on this list but not Lincoln makes you Colonel Fucktard.

He was a pusher not a user. Big difference.
He sold coke to save his business. There's only one thing to say to that: USA!! USA!! USA!!

Hey, going back to the original list, keeping slave owners off is stupid. You can't knock the achievements of one man because he did something that was common at the time, even though it was insanely wrong. My list is in no particular order because you can't compare the achievements of Martin Luther King with FDR.
MLK Jr., for the same reason as everyone else
Nathan Hale(and others who were killed in the service of America), 21 year old man who regreted he had but one life to give for his country. The ultimate sacrifice for this nation instantly makes you a great American.
Robert E. Lee, fuck you guys He fought for the South, part of America, beat the living shit out of an army who outnumbered him, ran out of soldiers, went home. Military Genius, fought in a war with no "good guys", both sides had a strong case, though slavery was a shitty institution.
Thomas Jefferson, Fuck you Adam, he was down with Brown, and did more for the future of America than most of the forefathers.
Andrew Jackson, that's right. Fuck Indians. Fuck them in the ear. J/K That was his only flaw. When a hick(like GWB,Jr.) is elected president, for some reason the country loves him. Except this guy had a brain.
Abraham Lincoln, not a very decent human being, in fact I hate him like poison, but not many could achieve the things he did with less than half the country supporting him, and we are now better for it.
James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, one is the father of the constitution, the other was the son of a whore. The Federalist Papers=Genius
John F. Kennedy, I don't have a reason, he was just cool. The Cuban Missile Crisis was a positive, though.
FDR, blah, blah, we know why
And finally, Carl Djerassi. And since Genius Loves Company, might as well add Margaret Sanger to the list as well.
That is my list.
