yeah, that's like an exact paraphrase of what i said to you (at least i think it was you) yesterday morning... |

08.02.11 | Where did that idiot disappear to anyway? |
Killahit
08.02.11 | No idea
Probably a split personality or somethin I dunno |
Scoot
08.02.11 | because he was polarizing |
Killahit
08.02.11 | To be precise, Emim, to the best of my memory, you said:
"Jesus, it's 11:57 and you just HAD to cram in every bit of stupid you could before morning." |
toxin.
08.02.11 | teddy motherfucking roosevelt because he (apparently) inspired terrorists |

08.02.11 | Benjamin Franklin
|
Masochist
08.02.11 | Abraham Lincoln, one of only two presidents with the balls to turn something as monumental as the abolishment of slavery into nothing more than just another move in a game of Civil War chess. The other, of course, would be Teddy Roosevelt (I'd imagine). |
Masochist
08.02.11 | "Benjamin Franklin"
...probably the best founding father we had, but never was president (or were you joking?). |
foreverendeared
08.02.11 | lol ben franklin |
foreverendeared
08.02.11 | I think it was joke |
Trebor.
08.02.11 | I was joking of course.
He's more boss than any president anyway

08.02.11 | you should learn to read and then be tortured to death |

08.02.11 | @ killahit
and tom j was most definitely the shit |
Masochist
08.02.11 | Jefferson did more for the US, I think, but Ben was just more of a badass all around. |
Satellite
08.02.11 | they both were geniuses. jefferson gets the edge imo because he doubled the size of the country for the price of a used kia. |
Killahit
08.02.11 | Yeah jefferson completely reshaped the nation we speak of now |
qwe3
08.02.11 | "jefferson gets the edge imo because he doubled the size of the country for the price of a used kia."
plus he was probably one of the most educated and intelligent men ever |
qwe3
08.02.11 | like seriously he was a fucking boss. the only thing he couldnt do was speak in public |
Masochist
08.02.11 | TJ also wins the award for most bad-ass pad.
Franklin, though...damn, what DIDN'T he do? First firefighting station, first newspaper, first post-master of the USPS, invented the lightning rod, bifocals, developed anti-counterfeiting measures, theorized that lightning is made of electricity, was an ambassador to France, proposed the concept of Daylight Savings, played chess, played the violin and the guitar, and according to his Wiki page, "he is the only Founding Father who is a signatory of all four of the major documents of the founding of the United States: the Declaration of Independence, the Treaty of Paris, the Treaty of Alliance with France, and the United States Constitution." He's also the only non-presidential male to be featured on US currency. And he lived to be 82 at a time when the average life expectancy in the nation was in the 40's or 50's.
I don't know, man...Ben kinda does it for me. |
Masochist
08.02.11 | Not to say that Jefferson wasn't badass, or even that he doesn't live up to Benjamin Franklin, cause really, Jefferson rightfully earns his spot on Mt. Rushmore. Still...I just think Ben Franklin was probably the greatest asset we had in our earliest years as a nation. |
qwe3
08.02.11 | no denying franklin's brilliance/badassery dude im just kinda in awe of just how much shit jefferson was amazing at.
oh btw you guys seen the miniseries John Adams?
it's fucking great, it stars Paul Giamatti and heaps of other really good US actors |
qwe3
08.02.11 | like jefferson was such an exemplary personification of the Renaissance man that when JFK gave an address during the nobel prize ceremony he said "I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."
which is fucking baller
im also pretty sure he had the largest private library in the world at the time |
foreverendeared
08.02.11 | "proposed the concept of Daylight Savings"
I give him -1 for this one though. |
foreverendeared
08.02.11 | "oh btw you guys seen the miniseries John Adams?"
Yeah plus I try and watch anything Laura Linney is in, she's fucking amazing and hot. |
Masochist
08.02.11 | "im also pretty sure he had the largest private library in the world at the time"
That, he did. In his ballin' ass house. Which he designed. |
qwe3
08.02.11 | yeah i know
fuck dude he was so awesome. had such a shit personal life though |
foreverendeared
08.02.11 | don't forget about Poor Richard's Almanack either. Some of his sayings frustrate me, but the man has a way with words. |
Masochist
08.02.11 | ""proposed the concept of Daylight Savings"
I give him -1 for this one though.:"
Back then, it made sense--cut back spending money on candles and coal during summer by extending the daylight one hour. Now that we have electricity, it's not so important. |

Fuck that. Roosevelt got shot in the chest while giving a speech, and decided that his speech was more important than the bullet, so he kept talking. For an hour-and-a-fucking-half. |

08.02.11 | no mention of Madison guys? he's one of my favorites if only for his key writings in the Constitution and Bill of Rights... as a President he wasn't as awesome, but still. |

08.02.11 | that's funny cuz it's actually yellow and you don't have a lambo |
InjunJoe
08.02.11 | Bob Hawke couldnt have done that because his heart is made of gold and therefore too soft to withstand a bullet. |
