Who is the greatest person that ever lived?

sir isaac newton, reading about him is scary, the man was a bohemoth. I like Neil degrasse tysons view on newton when he was asked who his hero is.

 

Good call - for all-round genius though, I'll go with....

I'd probably go with Da Vinci too, again for his all-round genius. I must also credit the bloke who discovered how to make fire, because - though one Irishman might disagree - where would we be without that?

Great shout, I watch a documentary on him the other day. Fantastic truly a man ahead of his time as were alot of the Scientists, astrologists inventors.

Mother Teresa she was one compassionate old bird.

I was talking to a workmate one day about Mother Theresa when he mentioned that his sister had been a nun in Mother Theresa's order in Calcutta. She was a trained nurse at the time but she was frustrated because she could see that the large amounts of money donated weren't being spent on much-needed medical supplies. When she raised the issue she was told that they weren't in the business of saving lives, they were in the business of saving souls. Although my mate's sister was a devout Catholic she felt that this was wrong. She left the order, gave up being a nun and wrote a book about her experience. Because I was interested, my mate arranged a meeting one day. It was an interesting meeting to say the least and she lent me a copy of her manuscript which was eventually published.

One of the things she mentioned was that she got the impression that MT had at some time in her past had committed a great sin that she was trying to atone for by "saving souls". She stressed that it was just an impression though.

Interesting bird, as I said. She graduated in medicine and went to work in remote Aboriginal communities...and became an atheist.

Ranulph Fiennes

 

Fucking legend, quite possibly the greatest living Englishman.

Albert Einstein and Adolf Hitler. Yes I know they are two conflicting choices but hear me out. Hitler had the right idea but blew it at the end by getting greedy and trying to take on the Russians. He wasn't a bad dictator, he just made a few bad decisions.

Shigeru Miyamoto. I'm a Sega man, but hats off to Shigsy. Mario 64 IS perfection.

Nikola Tesla, Bob Marley, John Pilger... all very inspirational

Ali was the greatest. Thought everyone knew that.

I'd pay money for a Bob Marley Freddie Mercury collaboration.

Einstein was overrated, I agree.

I'd probably have to go for Tom Paine, not sure there's anyone who has had a more significant impact on trying giving rights to individuals regardless of stature. He was a major player in the French Revolution, pretty much wrote the US constitution, was a force in the abolition of slavery and took apart the bible using only the bible itself (back in the eighteenth century).

He's black if anything.

 

This had me in stitches.

I'd definitely say Leonardo Da Vinci. An actual genius. Brilliant at everything and probably wasn't a knob either.

[Pidge]

That is quite an endorsement:

Time I paid my dues so I can rep you back. I like your style and your post did seem 'a little out of character.' I am prepared to let you off, this once!
