He was Serbo-Croatian, but became a US citizen.

This 'change of homeland' does not change where
'he was born' or what 'nationality he was born into.'

Understand?

Are you going to fight this pointless battle until total
defeat or do you wish to submit to the facts now?

I never said you couldn't - I just pointed out that he was actually Serbo-Croatian.

Same as Einstein was German.

If I became a US citizen, I would still regard myself as a Brit.

That was kind of thought provoking, in a way. The rest of it was just depressing, as people apparently don't know anybody other than current stars, half-mythological figures, or people who have had biopics made about them in the last ten years.

I can't stand the fact that he's a black role model. The guy was a fraud.

Malcom X feigned insanity to avoid the WW2 draft. He was involved in prostitution, robbery, and drug dealing. Some role model he is. He was arrested on breaking and entering, larceny, and carrying a firearm.

and I'm not even going into the bullshit religion that is nation of islam. I forgot to add his rejoicing over John F. Kennedy's death.

So anyway, what's everybody's predictions for the final top 10? NOTE NOTE not what you believe should be the top 10, what you believe that top 10 will be.

Mine is:

1. George Washington (when you look at it, most of the "Greatest ____" lists have had some major political figure at the top - Adenauer, Churchill, De Gaulle (LOL Fortuyn LOL) Washington's entrenched enough a figure to make it to the top.)

2. Abraham Lincoln (see: Washington)

3. Albert Einstein (everyone knows and loves Einstein)

4. Martin Luther King (black and liberal helps him to top 5)

5. Elvis Presley (If Lennon makes the list, Elvis will probably make the list as well.)

6. Neil Armstrong (the symbol of SPACE. Gotta have some SPACE ROCKETS on the list.)

7. Ronald Reagan (the power of Reagasm compels you!)

8. Oprah (fills the "lol what" seat of the list. Also, there aren't many women on the top 25 and I figure one of them's going to be in top 10. So it's probably going to be Oprah.)

9. FDR (If one looks at the other lists, one sees that WW2 is a popular period.)

10. George W. Bush ()
