Agree?

According to AOL and The Discovery Channel, the top 10 greatest Americans are as follows

1 Ronald Reagan
2 Abraham Lincoln
3 Martin Luther King
4 George Washington
5 Benjamin Franklin
6 George W Bush
7 Bill Clinton
8 Elvis Presley
9 Oprah Winfrey
10 Franklin D Roosevelt

how likely is it that Ronald Reagan would have even appeared in the top 10, if he hadnt died last year?

here is the story from The BBC

What the hell, Ronald Reagan! haha. Sorry. What a retarded list... Oprah??? Clinton??? Bush??? Out of all the Americans who have ever lived....

Wow, that list is pathetic.

yeah 6,7 and 9 im not too sure should be in there.....what about Kennedy, Dylan, Armstrong, Edison or Spears?

That just goes to show what kind of people vote in these things... I bet if you had stuck Winston Churchill on there people would have voted for him.

Whys BUSH ON THERE? He's just our president.

lol, thats the point. The people that vote in these things are obviously retarded and know nothing of history.

did you just say...... Spears? o o o

lol, i was just gonna ask if thats what you were implying.

Abraham Lincoln
Martin Luther King
George Washington
Benjamin Franklin
Franklin D Roosevelt

All great for this list.

Here are some great additions

Inventors The Wright Brothers, Edison, Einstein, Bell
Generals Douglas MacArthur, Robert E Lee, Patton
Sports Heros Ruth, Robinson, Owens

Who else can we think of?

I'm surprised Kennedy didn't make the list

Bell was actually Scottish D infact he was from Edinburgh and since we share the same last name, im pretty sure im related to him in some way or another......or at least i like to think i am D

and i was also thinking of Lee.

lol yeah i was being facetious D

[quote6a60cdf032="Stroid"]Clinton is a fucking pimp[/quote6a60cdf032]

agreed.

That list is decent. It could have been worse, but then again it could have been a [u6a60cdf032]lot[/u6a60cdf032] better. Why Reagan is #1 i'll never know. And I think most people can agree that George W. shouldn't be on the top ten.

agreed....whether you think he is a good president or not, i honestly dont think he has been around, or done enough to even earn a top 20 spot.

Bush... why?

Oh my fucking god, it is even worse than I expected. It just goes to show what kind of people voted in it. Oprah? Couldn't they have gotten someone better than that? Maybe another civil rights leader? Maybe someone who has actually changed history?? I even joked to my girlfriend that Reagan would be number one and that G-Dub would be in there. I had no idea how right I would be... AND ELVIS!!!???

I'm really at a loss for words. Oprah above Susan B. Anthony, who gained women the RIGHT TO VOTE??? And what the fuck did Elvis ever do other than sing songs that people wrote for him and make shitty movies? I guess the people who voted for him looked at their commemorative Elvis stamp/coin collections and got the idea. What about Thomas Edison?? What about ANYONE ELSE? This list sickens me.

i can kinda see why Elvis is in there, he influenced a hell of a lot of people and is an American icon, whether you like him or not.

If the list was for the top 10 worst Americans who ever lived, then Reagan might be near the top, but sure as fuck not the best Americans. He was a piece of shit who did the world a great justice when he died.

Ouch. And you probably worship Bill Clinton, plant trees, and have gay sex all day, or maybe all at the same time ... Meh, Reagan was one of the best Presidents we ever had, and Bill Clinton does not deserve do be anywhere even close to him.

woah!....maybe a little over the top there ben, but to each their own.

i despise Bush, but i would never wish him dead....there are people in his life whom he loves and who love him and have done nothing wrong to deserve his death and the burden of his death on them.

make sense?

Bush shouldnt even be on there, look how he divided the nation. I can see Ronald Regan on there, but probably not as #1. He did do a lot with the Cold War though, and literally saved the world. Elvis and Oprah can also be taken off. As good as Clinton was he shouldnt be on there. Of all people i would say Thomas Jefferson deserves to be there, he drafted the consistution which is still be held up to this day.

I'm going to be nice because I like you, but
no, I think Bill Clinton was an average president who made the job a lot more entertaining for the public, I hate trees because all they do is cause allerges (well, besides that whole giving us air thing), and think gay sex is repulsive even though I'm fully in support of gay rights. So bleh! P P

I'm dead serious in my opinion that Reagan was one of the worst Presidents we've had, though. I'm pretty open minded, but this is one of the few issues that I simply cannot understand how you can think any differently on. I'm not here to start a flame war though, I do that on plenty of other forums.

By the way, I forgot to mention that you probably think (erronously) that I'm an ultra-liberal tree-hugging hippie, just as I think (most likely erronously) that you're a die-hard conservative jerkoff. My hate of Reagan doesn't stem from my political beliefs, it stems from what he did in office and my individual opinions on those actions.

The list lost its credibility when Oprah made it to the list. A bunch of retards must have voted...uh.
