2:55 - yeah I've noticed that with most scientist who make breakthroughs, they regret all their discoveries once they find out their technology is used for hurting and killing people

[fansntt]

Personally, I think, Mandela deserved a better position. What he did is what is needed now days.

P.S. Nope, I am not African American.

My thoughts and "grades", continued:

#80: Not only did she fund Shakespeare and many great explorers, England was a global superpower under her rule. Showed that a woman can rule just as well as a man (sometimes better). A+

#79: One of the most disgraceful men who ever lived, but you can't deny he has changed the world...albeit for the worse. A

[TheBanditKing2011]

My thoughts and "grades" of each person in this part:

#84: Great choice. Should be much higher for changing how the world communicated. A+

#83: Another awesome choice. It's partly because of him that Russia is so powerful today. A+

#82: One of my personal role models, and a true giant in atomic science. A-

#81: Brought equality to one of the most racially fraught areas of the world, but I still think it's a tad recent to put him on the list. C+

1：08 is an awesome company ! invest now ! NELSON MANDELA WAS ARRESTED WITH GUNS, BOMBS, GRENADES, AND MARXIST PROPOGANDA; HE IS A TERRORIST AND ALWAYS WILL BE, AND SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED THE DEATH PENALTY ! HE WILL ROT IN HELL !

One of my dad's professors met Niels Bohr.

[Samotrase]

yeah, I agree - whether positive or negative, some influences were so great as to shape the decades to come... I think the focus is on the impact rather than these people´s actions having been good or bad.

[Darkfusion280]

I agree with you all the way. Bush was probably the biggest idiot to even campaign for president, and he still got in two times!

[Darkfusion280]

I would feel like shit too. I mean I couldn't wake up one morning to hear somebody yell out, "OMIGO! It's him, thanks for helping us kill 70000000 with your atom bomb!" I would go FN crazy if I invented something THAT devastating, and people that make stuff like that get honored, WTF?

I know you weren't refering to the creator of the atom bomb, was just using that as an example.

[ZeitgeistMixtape]

amen.

[xitongzou]

Tesla invented radio before Marconi did

[nepharius]

Marconi shouldn't be on there he is a stealer.
