Who is you're favorite Dictator?

*That Matt Guy* · 04-19-2003, 04:43 AM

Who is it?

**GK Punk** · 04-19-2003, 04:47 AM

Triple H

*That Matt Guy* · 04-19-2003, 04:49 AM

No, he belongs in the 'getting pushed because he is sleeping with a McMahon' category.

**GK Punk** · 04-19-2003, 04:50 AM

OH! Got confused, sorry!

So uh... who are my choices?

*That Matt Guy* · 04-19-2003, 04:53 AM

You could go with Saddam or Castro, or Stalin or Pol Pot or even the classics (Adolf and Mussolini)

**GK Punk** · 04-19-2003, 04:54 AM

Gotta go with castro... I mean that guy just dosn't take crap!

SavantiRomero · 04-19-2003, 05:18 AM

Napolean! Don't mess with short people! (Ok maybe he wasn't a dictator, but he tried

)

I only he had 3 brothers....

*That Matt Guy* · 04-19-2003, 05:51 AM

Why is it that whenever people go insane they tend to think they are Napoleon? If I ever go nuts I'm going to think I'm former President Taft or Kaiser Wilhelm (Here's hoping!)

*kyabetsu* · 04-19-2003, 05:59 AM

okay... *pulls out the history books.* OTTO Von BISMARK!!

seriously.
he was the prime minister of Prussia (what germany was before it was Germany). He started a war with France that lasted 3 days. AND because France OFFICIALLY (and technically) declared war before PRUSSIA, international war law (for Europe at the time anyways) said that WHEN FRANCE LOST (cause they did-- whos surprised? go smack yerself. they don't EVER win.) anyways, CAUSE FRANCE LOST ~*AND*~ officially STARTED the war... THEY OWED PRUSSIA MONEY in an official war debt.

so.
Bismark set up the entire nation of France. Stole a huge chunk of their land along the coast near Denmark (we're talking MAD high property value, cause shipping was mostly by WATER in those days. therefore Port Cities = $$$$). He also lost next to NO troops cause the war was 3 days long. He also kicked France's butt and then made THEM apologise for it.

that's the equivalent of pushing the unpopular kid into the mud at recess, stealing his Xbox, then having him get mad and the teacher deciding it was all his fault and making him give you his allowence for a year while he stands there dripping mud.

that's why Bismark Rocked.

oh and since he was Prime Minister and not King of Prussia, he'd done a LOT of internal political manipulations to put the King of Prussia (Wilhelm I) in his pocket.

Bismark: shut up, King. France! Give me your Lunch Money!

...and he changed Prussia to "Germany" as a result of that war and the new territory he'd just Pimpslapped out of France.

so yeah.
Otto Von Bismark of Prussia is my all-time favorite.

*That Matt Guy* · 04-19-2003, 06:02 AM

He also had a battleship named after him.

*That Matt Guy* · 04-19-2003, 06:08 AM

Also, Prussia was a seperate nation wasn't it? and it became part of Germany after the Franco-Prussian war?

*kyabetsu* · 04-19-2003, 06:16 AM

Prussia was the loose union of German States. it was the ONLY coherent thing to crawl out of the Holy Roman Empire (of Teutonic States)... which as we all know, wasn't Holy or Roman or much of an empire.... but i digress.

Prussia wasn't much of anything but a bunch of little german states who'd agreed that a larger gov't made their countries look bigger and kept frickin' DENMARK from stealing their cows.

However... there WERE outlying German States that DIDN'T buy into the "PRUSSIA" thing.... wouldn't join the union, dontcha know.

That's yet another reason Otto Kicked booty.

He tightened federal control and made Prussia a country in ACTUALITY not just on paper. AND b/c of the bit w/ France, he was able to unite the OUTLYING German States w/ the already condensed CORE of Prussia... as a concession to the German States that lost their autonomy, the newly formed union was called "GERMANY."

*kya is proud she remembered that.*

*That Matt Guy* · 04-19-2003, 06:30 AM

Wow, I am impressed with you're knowledge of Prussia

*Voltron* · 04-19-2003, 09:47 AM

My favorite dictator? You guessed it: Khan. He stole the Genesis missle for Heaven's sake, and uhhh, looked at it for half the movie before he blew himself up.....with......it.

But Hitler, Bismark, or Mussaddstro (A ghastly fusion of Mussolini, Saddam, and Castro) never even HAD a space ship, let alone the Genesis missle. ON TOP OF THAT Shatner wasn't forced to kick any of their asses and leave them stranded on a desert planet only to be found many years later with the same deep rooted hatred for Kirk which lead to STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN!

Hm... I'm gonna go with Stalin.

*That Matt Guy* · 04-20-2003, 02:58 AM

Castro plays baseball. Hitler believed in non-smoking. Saddam fished with grenades. Stalin slept in the nude. Mussolini ate raw eggs.
