[QUOTE="sdmsanjose, post: 69236961, member: 152702"] By Oafman It amused me that you chose to take issue with John Lennon in 7th, given that 3rd place in the same poll was occupied by Princess Diana, just ahead of Darwin, Shakespeare and Newton As for the US poll, George W Bush in 5th is almost as ridiculous as Princess Di in 3rd [COLOR=rgb(102, 0, 0)]I agree. I picked John Lennon because I had been reading about rock stars and he is one of the biggest rock stars of the 20th century. In addition, John Lennon was a poor parent to his first son and a druggie including heroin for several years. I do not think that George W and Princess Di belong on that list but at least they were not bad parents and a heroin user.[/COLOR] By Jayem A few questions: 1) Why is Albert Einstein, who was born in Germany, did his significant work in Switzerland, and later immigrated to the US considered American? Whereas Thomas Paine, who was born in England, did much of his significant work in the America, and later immigrated to France considered British? [COLOR=rgb(102, 0, 0)]You have a good point. However, I was not as interested in the assignment of nationality but more about why some American and British public are so shallow[/COLOR] 2) Why are Freddie Mercury and Johnny Rotten considered greater than James Clerk Maxwell? [COLOR=rgb(102, 0, 0)]Mercury and Rotten are ahead of Maxwell because the voting public has no wisdom as to who is great and they are shallow minded.[/COLOR] 3) Was King Arthur a real person? [COLOR=rgb(102, 0, 0)]I only know that they made a movie about him.[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(102, 0, 0)]I just wondered what some people base greatness on? [/COLOR] [B][COLOR=rgb(102, 0, 0)]How did Lennon, Presley, Mercury, and Rotten help mankind?[/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
