flamingjimmy Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Richard Branson Bill Gates Bob Geldof Bill Gates deserves a place in history for sure if he does manage to eliminate malaria, although it's a pretty tall order.

SUPERDREAM Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 History will record that Thatcher took a paralyzed, bankrupt, banana-republic economy and turned it into the fourth richest in the world. (It will, of course, also record that if any PM in the fifties, sixties and seventies had had the guts to take the necessary measures, they could have been achieved with perhaps 30,000 job losses, instead of three million...) Yes, and she privatised everything too. A truly wonderful woman who really should have stayed in the kitchen making Dennis his tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingjimmy Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 well they are both Sirs so I guess they will go down in history?!? There have been hundreds (probably thousands) of 'sirs' whose names have been lost to history. to think that they'll be household names or even noteworthy at all just because they've been given some disgusting dark-ages style title is pretty far fetched. its not whether you like them or notNo, that's not why I don't think they'll 'go down in history' either. It's because neither of them have done anything that will be worthy of note in the years to come. Certainly not on the same level as trying to permanently rid the world of a disease which has caused immense suffering since the dawn of mankind, and pouring in hundreds of millions of your own personal wealth in order to do so.

If she did that with that country, why did she run ours into the ground then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
