[TruckDriver66]

[xtraviolent]

Not sure if he has been mentioned...

Nikola Tesla

[SycoDan]

Strong naming musicians and actors as the one man in all of history to prevent from dying young.


Would say Alexander, ***** died from a fever while conquering the known, is this real tea?

[KANOU9]

Of all the people posted ITT maybe only 2-3 could have had a huge impact on our world


for me

Tutankhamun

[negurabunget]

Lol, guys, Tesla did not have a premature death at all. He was 86 when he died.

[Penile_Dementia]

was gonna post this. last REAL president. Those aware know what I mean.
Strong idiot. JFK was about to abolish the federal reserve and condemned secret societies.

His famous speech. Start at 6:34 on for the good stuff.

He was talking about commies and asking the media to collaborate with the government in keeping hush hush on things so that Americans would have intelligence advantage in cold war. There are versions of the speech that edit these points out for propaganda purposes. (Considering they are the entire point/context of the speech).

Do you know that there are actually people, who spread the speech and tell people about it, who don't know that is what the speech is about? srs. such is the wretched state of standards that people set for their own knowledge.

some segments that some are loathe to quote:

I refer, first, to the need for far greater public information; and, second, to the need for far greater official secrecy....

...In time of "clear and present danger," the courts have held that even the privileged rights of the First Amendment must yield to the public's need for national security.

Today no war has been declared—and however fierce the struggle may be—it may never be declared in the traditional fashion. Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired.

If the press is awaiting a declaration of war before it imposes the self-discipline of combat conditions, then I can only say that no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. If you are awaiting a finding of "clear and present danger," then I can only say that the danger has never been more clear and its presence has never been more imminent.

....For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy .... It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match.

Every newspaper now asks itself, with respect to every story: "Is it news?" All I suggest is that you add the question: "Is it in the interest of the national security?"

also, this was a week after the bay of pigs event:

I want to talk about our common responsibilities in the face of a common danger. The events of recent weeks may have helped to illuminate that challenge for some

Tutankhamun

lol that was a my troll one but this guy -------Archimedes

[Skinnygeorge]

JFK is the only person there that actually mattered

[ShadowBarkley]

jfk, just to see what kind of changes he would have made to the country....the reason the dude got killed.

[Ayaxes]

/thread

[Saveriozap]

Aziz Shavershian due to being unable to pick anyone else, too many choices, and it would have been interesting to see what became of him after his prime.

Hitler not killing himself may have been interesting, but I doubt he'd have lasted long, or contributed much afterwards.. Still it'd just be an interesting story.

[RisoO]

^ 2pac

close this thread

[gangaslayer]

fk yes, replace him with douche bag lars.

[Hopelessness]

Hitler. srs. Look at the way he unified Germany and how much they achieved. Ofc Genocide wasn't a good thing but the things he did for Germany were amazing.

[iHorny]

Steve Jobs.

Love him or hate him, he changed the game.

[Del_Cortez]

2Pac was not just a rapper, feel like he had a lot more to give srs, I was barely 5 when he died but
the first time I watched Resurrection I choked up and nearly cried at the end when he says

"I'm not saying I will change the world but I GUARANTEE that I will spark the mind that does"
in that powerful voice of his, what a guy

Thug Life Mode


Pensieve Pac(the one that was in the process of changing the world)


EDIT:

Heath Ledger a close 2nd, what he did in Batman blows my mind to this day

[mirinj0bra]

[J_A24]

This **** right here

[FA4LIFE]

He made foreign affairs the way it is today. The world would be a lot different if he did not create the atom bomb, he even said that was the biggest regret of his life.

Correct me if im wrong though.

you're way wrong; einstein creating the bomb?

[RWBaseball4]

I came in to post this. rep'd.

So many Lols left to give :'(

[phaginator]

Archduke Franz Ferdinand. His assassination set of the chain of events which resulted in the First World War ( which ultimately led to the Second World War ). Very likely war would have broken out regardless but if there was even a 5% chance that saving him could have stopped the $hitstorm it's worth it.

That's what the books tell you, the true reason was pure economical reasons.

[Fortitudo]

Ruined all guitarists for me. srs

[Vinsanity15]

This is one of the more depressing threads I've seen on the MISC, even though I know it isn't intended to be. Seeing all these people, whether they were musicians, sportsmen, doctors, philosophers, etc. and imagining all that could've been accomplished. Such a shame to see anyone die young, especially those who showed such promise early on.

[DUKENUK3M]

ITT: 86 year old Nikola Tesla died prematurely

[Psychit]

Mainsqueeze530 . Cheeky kunt had such a positive outlook on life.
