[Drake Tungsten]

Upon further inspection, Gibson seems to have been born in New York and lived in America until he was 12. Interesting...

Actually, I'd probably agree. What Robespierre accomplished was very difficult, incurred a lot of personal danger, including his death, and it's affect in the modern age leaves France as a democratic and free nation. Yes, about a thousand people died by guillotine to enforce it, but that wasn't largely due to Robespierre - many of the executions happened after he lost control of the committees and led to him being executed. He wasn't as much of the extremist as people believe. I'd have put him higher.

Just wondering when the rest of the world (and a good portion of America) are going to understand that this country was built by immigration. Not born here does not mean not American.


...Original topic --> by and large this list sucks!!! Where the Bleepity bleeping bleep bleep is Bob Dylan?!!!!!!

Bob Dylan.

[Solomwi]

What a travesty. A blind, deaf communist hag makes it in, but not Rickey Henderson (or Bob Dylan, for that matter).

For the life of me, I have no idea how Barack Obama and Ellen Degenerate made the nominee list.

[The Emperor Fabulous]

Degenerate?

You're so mature...

[Winston]

Oh dear. If maturity is your concern, I wonder how you've been able to keep silent during e.g. the tonnes of Pope "humour" we've had in the past weeks.

[The Emperor Fabulous]

Are you baiting me?

Sorry, I'm not up for it.

[Winston]

No, I just thought your post was a strange one, all things considered.

Your second post OTOH, was brilliant in avoiding the point I raised.

[Admiral]

This list, by and large, is complete crap. I have no idea how more than half of the people got onto it, and my only theory is that the makers of the list accepted bribes.

[Admiral]

Oh, and

I find it telling that you picked those two out of a list of at least thirty people who were undeserving. Hopefully, a time will come when you eat your words.

Do you have something against her because she's gay? . I think she's pretty funny.

[Winston]

She's gay? That might go a ways in explaining it then.

[Dis]

yeah only homophobic republicans call her degenerate. People were so upset when she "came out" on her tv show.

Some people just can't accept people for who they are.

the only reason to call her degenerate is because she's gay. She hasn't had any big scandals. She's never been arrested. She's not into child porn or porn of any nature that I know of.
