Yes, all hail Tupac... Dude, you needs to grow up ;)
How about Washignton, Franklin, Adams, or Martin Luther (the original, not King), Immanual Kant, John Locke, Ayn Rand (ok ok, maybe not so much, but her objectivist ideals sure do make sense), or even Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates? Of course, thats but a breif list, but all have had massive, massive influence over the course of world history.

Yes, all hail Tupac... Dude, you needs to grow up
umm, don't tell me to grow up. Read his lyrics and you'll know what i mean. He wasn't only known for his music.
Prolific people...Henry Ford was prolific...So was Hitler, in a very bad and different way.
Tupac's cool and everything, but I think he's veeeeery far from being an important person in history. Same goes for Bob Marley and John Lennon. These people are the voices of movements, the spokespersons. However, they don't start the movement, they just give it a voice.
Like it or not, the most influential person, IMHO of the 20th century probably is Hitler. Influential doesn't mean it has to be in a good way.... He impacted the entire planet and directly or indirectly caused more change than anyone else in that century.
I agree, F L E S H.. I would have to say Einstein, also.
My second choice would be Jesus. Whether he was real or not, or the son of God or not, the legend of Jesus has affected almost everyone and everything on this planet. If he had never existed, or - if the case is that he didnt exist - he had never been 'made up' then the world we currently live in would be completely different. The same goes for God. (PS, i'm not saying that either of them exist or existed, or that they didnt.. just that the 'idea' of them exists, and this 'idea' has affected the world more than anyone in history)
Yeah. He got shot too.Quote:

my boyfriend
Jesus of Nazareth
Jimi Hendrix. Also, Sister Nadia.
And don't bash me.
Information on Nostradamus would be nice.
Give me a break.Quote:

These are guys that have a huge impact on human history. And none of them were gay carpenters either...
Really...Which one of these guys split time in half, you know BC and AD. Or, how many of these guys are still in the grave? That's right, all of them. Just those two make Jesus a little more special than anyone in history.Quote:

God is going to put you in your groove, where you fit and what you are wired for.
Coming in adversarial isn't what it is about. You have a good motivation, but , we can't bring about His purposes in our skin (alone). Remember, Ishmael ~ you know what I'm talking about. We don't need our own.
When you see me some time, tag me. we'll split off and chat. Ok Buddy,
Blessings to you and your fam.
You seem to have some unhealthy obsession with Jesus. It's all the more strange given that he's a fictional character created by bad writers who plagiarized all the other major religions of the time.....Quote:

I'm voting for this fellow called "Buddha", you may have heard of him ;).
Also: Albert Einstein, Leonardo DaVinci, whoever invented soap, Jimi Hendrix, and (at least for the drug culture) Alexander Shulgin.

Meh, I think all his attention is due more to media focus, I wouldn't say he's influence the world like Hitler, Stalin, DaVinci, etc.Quote:

You wanna talk about prolific people in history? Talk about Genghis Khan, who's got 16 million descendants, and forged together the largest land empire in history using only 100,000 men.
Don't talk about someone like Tupac, lol. While his lyrics are inspirational and all, he was still nothing more than a violent street thug. This is coming from me, who's lived in poverty his whole live. While most of you are middle to upperclass, so I think my opinion has greater weight.
Rappers should never be considered great people, what's their contribution to society? Most of them preach nothing but bullshit. The whole culture they promote is hurting America, mostly in the innercity. The whole hip-hop trend promotes kids to not care about education and being learned, rather they think about clothes and cars, which leads them to failure. It also promotes crime indirectly.
I have lived in NYC almost my whole life and every area that's Hip-hop culture dominant is a mess filled with crime and is just an overall crappy place.
Most of you are little white kids that are just going through this fad, it doesn't really affect you. You just love the whole fad, but you don't have to live through it and see it like I do. You'll eventually grow out of it. But what of me? Who has to see beautiful neighborhoods destroyed by his nasty fad.
Why should your impoverished roots make your opinions more worthy than others? Sorry, perhaps I'm too privelaged (or too big an asshole) to grasp how that works, logically or fairly.Quote:

That's a pretty big assumption ..... All of us are anonymous behind our screennames, so it really doesn't matter where you come from, or what color / class that you are.Quote:
