Two from modern times;
1. Saddam Hussein
2. Col Gaddafi
First enquiries would be with regard to Purchase Ledgers & available Receipts.

Re: One man in history
Not really. I'm well aware of what the Republican party has done with it. I don't think they're all wrong, just like I don't think they're all right. Same for the Democrats, TeaBaggers, and pretty much any other political body. Thankfully, as unfulfilled political promises show, most of the time government economists end up curbing most of the effects the politician's rhetoric would have on the actual policy changes.MekongMouse wrote:You'd be disappointed after he explained to you how badly the Republicans have distorted his message.OrangeDragon wrote:Either Alfred Nobel (of the peace prize, and Dynamite) or Adam Smith (of Wealth of Nations).

It has no historic significance to you guys, but I would sit down with the math teacher that told me in 6th grade how I would fail with everything in life instead of giving me the help I needed. The brightest future I had ahead of me was stamping tickets for the train he said. Fuck him.

Re: One man in history
If I could speak russian I'd probably choose Lenin.
If I could speak italian I'd choose Niccolo Machiavelli
If there was food on the table and poisoning the food was an option I'd pick Christopher Columbus.
If I could pick a woman instead of a man it would probably be Christy Mack.
In all other cases I'd probably go with Karl Marx (edit or Tupac, this is a hard call to make, man)

Re: One man in history
A friend and I taught a high-school math teacher how to simplify quadratic algebraic expressions rather than just copying the steps from the teacher's copy of the text. Quality teaching right there.BOFH wrote:It has no historic significance to you guys, but I would sit down with the math teacher that told me in 6th grade how I would fail with everything in life instead of giving me the help I needed.

Edit: while we were 'learning' from the teacher.

I think he's confused at the fact the 2 parties actually "switched" places on a lot of things over time...MekongMouse wrote:Why?frank lee bent wrote:Curious that Lincoln was Republican.

Republicans used to be the big government liberals, with Democrats being the small government conservatives. A lot of people don't know/forget that.
