    Hard to say, I admire some people's achievements but their personalities were documented to be less than admirable. Even the ones who weren't, I don't know enough about them to say I admire them. So out of the people I know enough to make a claim like this, I will say z10  Wink

    @Cato, how many Cubans that sing praises about those crack pot murderers do you know? Please don't give me facts about live expectancy, education levels, universal healthcare and that crap. The Cubans have got allot of things millions, sorry billions on this planet need (education and good health care). But if Cuba's healthcare is that good why are they risking their lives to come to America? The land of the free, surly they are not here to tell us about their healthcare. They want politican freedom for their families, a chance to get paid the right amount for your skills. A Cuban doctor gets paid peanuts, for making sure your healthy and alive. What about the petition thing they have going on, if 10,000 people sign one it will go to a referendum and the whole country votes. The Cuban government has again and again turned down the "more politican freedom for citizens" petition that gets over 10,000 signatures every time. No wonder they are starting to reform their private sector, hopefully it will go all the way. Capitalism is freedom to give and get what you find necessary (unless it's illegal), capitalism in it's raw form is a fair democratic society. Socialism in its raw form always has to be a totalitarian regime, everywhere it's been tried out people have lost their lives for no real reason. Name me one socialist state (not democratic socialist) that has 1st world infrastructure, a fair country where rights are for everyone and a stable government. I'll wait for you to get back to me.

    For someone that considers Ayn Rand,Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher as one of the greatest person that ever lives, i wouldnt take your comment seriously and your post reeks of condenscension for making assumptions of my motive behind my choice Cheesy Cheesy

    Also im not a socialist, my reason for choosing Castro and Che Guevara is solely how they overthrow Batista regime from mountains with their rebel forces. The rest, meh!

    Considering the first three choices of yours, i would rather not engage in argument that will end up pointless, so i would appreciate it if we agree to disagree otherwise im just going to simply ignore you because i have no time for this kind of argument.

    Awesome topic.

    If by "greatest" you mean the most positive impact. Then I think it needs to be someone who discovered some sort of scientific knowledge that has helped prevent diseases and stuff. So maybe someone like Louis Pasteur for the germ theory of disease.

    I would say Charles Darwin, but the thing is that other people like Wallace were already started to develop a theory of evolution independently of him, so I think it was coming anyway.

    On the other hand, I guess you could say that about anybody right? If Louis Pasteur had not lived then someone else would have eventually discovered what he did....

    I am not a troll, I am just a huge fan of the works of Ayn Rand. President Reagan was one of if not the best President my country has ever had (I am a US citizen) and in all honesty why am I a troll because I have respect for Ayn Rand? There is nothing wrong with trying to follow her teachings, I am not an objectivist but I thank Ayn Rand for allowing me to think in another way. If you haven't realised by now, my views are not the same as others. With all due respect to all of you. Just because I am drawn to conservatism doesn't make me a troll. I have made no sly comments about people who obviously admire a terrorist.

    I swear by my life, and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.
