In your opinion, who is/was the greatest human being of all time?

[Nihilism_Is_Bliss]

Why is everyone saying Jesus? Jesus may have had a lot of influence over the last couple of thousand years, but it doesn't mean it was good influence.

And if were talking about fantastical super Jesus, then not only was he not human, but he was also boring. No one is any fun if they're a complete goody two shoes.


And all those people who said Lincoln... No one outside of America can understand how Americans can be so immensely and irrationally patriotic.
...still haven't figured out what the little red book equivalent is yet...

Cynicism aside, I can't wait to see how many people are banned for responding with 'hitler'. I've seen 1 or 2 already
Generally the escapist is way too anal about what can be said, but yeah... Hitler rants are probably a bit too /b/ ish.

Jesus Christ died for our sins (Atleast in my beliefs)
If you don't count him I would say Alexander the great. He took over most of the known world.

The 1st Cave person to make fire ...(Who said it was a guy anyway? Is that fact or just stereotyped enforced belief?)

Haven't you heard? A chinese woman invented fire. You see, she was trying to solve an equation while driving her stone car (poorly) and knocked two stones together which caused a spark.

Optimus Prime also died for our sins, big deal.

Oh man,(chuckle) I really shouldn't be laughing at that.

Sir John Alexander MacDonald. He dealt with all the pansy waists who thought Canada would be annexed into the U.S. and so Confederation would be impossible no matter how hard everyone tried. Damned pussies I tell you. Instead of some big diplomatic conference, he took "Confederation, Botheration" into an alley and talked him into joining (New Brunswick, I think, they are still very prideful in New Brunswick and in Canada) Confederation. I'd like to see Harper talk to someone in an alley, he would probably make his aids lie on the ground so he wouldn't have to get his shoes dirty.

Anyway, he also went to this conference in the U.S. which was between Great Britain and the United States and was a post-civel war conference. He kept pissing everyone off because he insisted on promoting Canadian interests, when everyone else just wanted to go about their own business without a care in the world. Not only that, he had to fight to be a guest with Great Britain at the conference, or Canada would have had no presence at all!

Also, I'll leave this part to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_A._Macdonald)

"Macdonald was well known for his wit and also for his alcoholism. Two apocryphal stories are commonly repeated; the first describing an election debate in which Macdonald was so drunk he began vomiting while on stage. His opponent quickly pointed this out and said: "Is this the man you want running your country? A drunk!" Collecting himself, Macdonald replied "I get sick ... not because of drink [but because] I am forced to listen to the ranting of my honourable opponent."[62] The second version has Macdonald responding to his opponent's query of his drunkenness with "It goes to show that I would rather have a drunk Conservative than a sober Liberal."

A truly great and remarkable man. To be honest, the sheer personal struggles of his wife dying, his children having diseases and still founding the best country in the world, all while being drunk, it's absolutely astounding. If anyone wishes to make a counter-argument, please read the Wikipedia page or other sources to understand the tragic nature of his life so you will not be ignorant in a response.

*edit* This suggests he was a Freemason as well: http://web.archive.org/web/20070604192102/http://www3.sympatico.ca/sevenstar285/pages/sir_john.htm
