Only actually noticed the link to that survey thingy just now...

I wonder how in the hell Bush manages to agree with me for 17%... must be election speak BS that he doesn't actually have any intention of doing I suppose. That Howard Phillips must be pretty scary to be worse than Bush... Is he like a Nazi or something? I'll have to go and read up on all this a bit.

[Ninja Dodo]

Hm, that Kucinich guy seems all right actually. Although a "Department of Peace" sounds wrong somehow...

Holy crap, that Phillips guy is a Nazi! :eek:

The only thing that makes Bush worse is that he is actually in office! I mean, it doesn't actually mention any racism anywhere, but all the rest is scary enough and really I wouldn't be surprised if he comes from a long line of prominent KKK members...

Yes. Oh, I don't expect people to be perfect, but for a man like Gandhi to be mistaken about a man like Hitler is something I find disappointing.

That's for sure. I was just stating my opinion, not implying that it had any special value.

Well, France has been freed a few times, from kings and from germans, but it still doesn't make me like country persons.

Anyway, I realised my answer to you in the post above was a lot colder and aggressive than what I intended. So sorry about that, Kode . Also, I think Gandhi was a great man, which is why I'm a lot more severe with his flaws as I would be with anyone else's.

India's was a wee bit different

Clark seems to be my best choice, although he only leads my list with a mere 64%.

Has anybody actually tested the system to see if it's possible to get Bush in at number 2? I suspect that even if Hitler, Stalin, Saddam or Pol Pot were in the list, it would still place Bush lower.

I'd test it but I can't be bothered, and seeing as I have all you willing guinea pigs.............

Well, considering you were attempting to come up with extreme-right results, I can't say it's TOO surprising...

Well, one difference would be the fact that the Jews didn't blow themselves up in buses and restaurants with innovent German civillains.

[Ninja Dodo]

Isn't that the Berlin wall though?

... and even if that was a picture of a concentration camp... I'm not sure I see your point.

[Titan]

An obvious difference is that one fence is to keep people out, while the other was to keep people in.

Could be. The picture looks a little old, that's why I think it's from the 40's.

If it's a picture of a concentration camp then my point is that you can't compare the two.

I'd disagree! I'd say both are designed for the containment of innocent masses. The concept of both is wrong and there is NO difference. Forcibly imposed division is NEVER the answer.

[DomStLeger]

Yeah I agree, although the situations are different the basic aim of the walls is the same - to keep two populations apart.

Let's face up to reality - there isn't a hope this is any form of solution to the problems. If anything it's going to make the situation even less stable. At this rate I doubt we'll see peace in the middle east in my life time.
