Topic: Greatest Rulers of Germany Posted: 09-Apr-2005 at 19:22 |
You must have been brainwashed by very bias sources or have a very limited thinking capacity, I'm not sure which... maybe both. In any case, don't assort my statements with such an example and instead, take the time to reread what I've said and perhaps consider it for a moment. I at least read what you wrote.
And plz dude, make up your mind on what you're calling me; a Nazi, a communist, young....I'm too lazy to scroll up and see what else. It's quiet irrelevant tho, the point is you can't argue with what I've said because you simply cannot deny logic and don't know enough.
I mean with you saying there was no oppresion in Germany, I should copy and print that as the definition of ignorance. I mean it's funny how the founders of the city I live in were all germans who fled from germany during this period wishing to escape the religious persecution and excessive taxing of the german lords and constant warfare. (Written in stone at our town hall) "...arriving to a land of new hopes and free of oppression." Matter of fact my father did 5 years of research on it and wrote a book on the issue for his full professorship, so don't tell me there was no oppression.
Anyway I've had enough, good bye. I still say Bismark was the best among the "rulers" listed

Yeah, I agree, it got rather boring and tedious!
Anyway, we seem to have come to a rather overwhelming conclusion. Bismarck, is the greatest ruler Germany ever had. It's news to me, but we have to accept popular decision.
Two questions remain, who are these poor misguided people who voted for Hitler. Come out of the closet and argue your case, if you dare!
And, secondly, why did nobody vote for Walter Ulbricht?

because Honecker was greater. You should have included him, I'm sure he would have won

Anymore of this and I'll start a poll on "Who was the greatest leader of the DDR?". I'm sure discussions would rage on for weeks!
Anyway,I only choose Ulbricht because of his wonderful saxonian accent!

I am missing the biggest ruler here. IMO Helmut Kohl deserves much more credit than he is given in contemporary Germany.
I don't know how one could actually name Walter Ulbricht a leader - I think he was never more than a laughing stock... After all, he could not even resist being retired by Erich Honecker, a figure that was later retired himself by Egon Krenz of all the Zentralkomitee members. Maybe Wilhelm Pieck would have been a better choice?
I think I'd vote for Frst Otto, or for Friedrich II. Just can't decide which Friedrich.
