Well, it's not quoting what "everyone" says about who are five greatest people of XXth century, but in
your opinion.
Political, religion, writers, scientists...
Martin Luther King
General de Gaulle
Jean Paul II
Albert Einstein
John Maynard Keynes or George Marshall (Marshall plan)
I know many others could be named from my perspective, but oh well!
If I had to name 5 worst people would be:
Adolf Hitler
Josep Stalin
Mao
Paul Pot
Franco or Augusto Pinochet

No, I made a list of great people. Positive acts in the view of conforming society are not a prerequisite of being great.
I am terribly tired of the narrow minded, uneducated views of some people on this forum.

owww noes
Anyway, for me, a great person, also means that they have my respect. It's not just, "this person had/will have big impact on history".

Btw, I WAS joking. I do like all those people, but thats probably not who should be on the list. I'm not sure exactly who should really go on the list.

Umm.. if you're gonna say that someone like Hitler was bad and say Mother Teresa was one of the best people of the last century then you need to get your facts in place.
I point you to this -
http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=1168It doesn't tell you everything that **Filtered** done but should be enough to show you that you shouldn't believe everything you're told
Mother Teresa was worse than Hitler.. yeah I said it and it's **Filtered** true

im not sure if the ones that names hitler and hussein, to the worst but if ur american u have no right to name them to worst because american supported these guys in their early days. just a fun fact america ascutally them and bin ladin take power during their revolutions so have fun with that new peice of knowledge and Hitler is in the same League as FDR their ideas were very similar just they went about them differently hitler may have been a bad person but it was also very great at the same time, Just so u know those would be in my top 5 dont know bout other 3 Martin Luthor King Jr. would be up there though
