One man in history

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

One man in history

Post by vladimir »

If you could sit down with one man in history, who would it be?

Personally, I'd choose Adolf Hitler, fascinating character, and to see pure evil...
Jesus loves you...Mexico is great, right? ;)

this is changing all the time for me...

hitler, i overcame in my teens already.
it was a boring idiot. he would eel around and it would be all hot air. forget it.
he never had anything to say.

n if you think hitler was "pure evil", you havent understood a shit.
but nothing else expected from you anyway...

i would like to talk to sapolsky.
its the one SCC is talking about on kkk.

have heard of him much earlier.
i think there will be (more) and really big stuff to come from him.

Either Alfred Nobel (of the peace prize, and Dynamite) or Adam Smith (of Wealth of Nations).

Jesus or my grandfather. Really curious to hear what Jesus really had to say without several layers of agenda-driven 3rd-hand reporting. But I miss miss grandfather and he had lots of good stories to tell. So if I can bring somebody back to talk to, yes, perhaps better him.

You'd be disappointed after he explained to you how badly the Republicans have distorted his message.

Apart from those that have already been mentioned that are on my list, I'd like to sit down with Pavarotti (an incredible musician), mother Theresa, and Maggie Beer (I'd love to trade recipes with her)
