A. King David from Israels history. He wasn't religious but hated hypocrites, killed a man to get his wife but knew when he was wrong and how to ask for forgiveness, ran away from fights but was a mighty warrior when needed, made a sorry race great, wrote poems and songs, had ginger hair, married multiple times and did SO any things wrong, but he is still honoured and respected by hundreds of thousands of people across the world because above all, he was HONEST and LOVED and it showed in everything he did. Ooh AND he was the youngest of 7 sons and was raised to be a shepherd, his brothers didn't give him any respect but he still had faith that all things are possible. He gives hope to people who get things spectacularly wrong because he… [cont.]

Q. Who is your favorite personage in Rurouni Kenshin???

A. Sanosuke. I believe his character developed the MOST throughout the entire series. He laid down his gigantic sword weapon to become a hand-to-hand combat guy (and learned many new techniques). Don't forget that he is so strong he can punch through walls. Also, with Kenshin's help, he finally accepted the Meiji era and the end of the Tokugawa shogunate. He was finally able to leave that part of his life (and all of his hatred) behind.

Who would be the Most Influential Persons in History?
Q. Postulate that we are Building a Monument to Humanity on the Moon, to Outlast and give Testiment to Who we were, as a Global Community. It can't be Torn Down, Vandalized, or Destroyed in a War, but Could be Added to. Once Added, the Personage could Not be Removed. To be Included, the Person must have been Alive, and their Contributions Non-Fictional. They must have had a Lasting Effect on History, thus a Contemorary Newsmaker would not yet have had the Test of Time. Leaders, Philosophers, Composers, Scientists, are Equal here. Their Contributions could be Good or Bad. We are going to Add some "Givens" to Begin with, and Save Space: Religeon Founders/Elders like Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, Budda, (forgive me if I left out your Favorites) have… [cont.]

A. George Washington: Without him there certainly would not be a free USA. We would be part of the commonwealth same as Canada and Australia are. Edward de Vere: this 17th earl of Oxford under his pseudonym William Shakespeare, wrote plays and poems still popular and important over 400 years later. Issac Newton: His ground breaking works are still the basis for calculus, mechanical physics, and optics Johannes Gutenberg: His invention of the moveable type printing press thrust us out of the Dark Ages and made the Enlightenment Age possible Moses: If you include Jesus Christ and Muhammad, you must include Moses. He is a major figure in three major religions: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.

Who of the personages in Andersen's tales corresponds to author's character mostly?
Q. Uggly Duckling- as the author had not been very good-looking, The Brave Leaden Soldier- as Andersen wrote tales for good overcoming bad Ole... or some other hero? What was the author's favorite tale?
Asked by ThanksBelit - Wed Dec 27 12:09:31 2006 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments
A. It is argued by some critics that both "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Mermaid" embody, perhaps subconsciously, Andersen's suffering because he was different--homosexual, or perhaps bisexual, in a society in which only heterosexual love was permitted. Even as a child of twelve or so, working as an apprentice in a cigarette factory, his fellow workers teased him for being girlish and pulled down his pants to "prove" that he was like a girl. As a young man, he did write to a male friend, Edvard Collin, that "my sentiments for you are those of a woman. The femininity of my nature and our friendship must remain a mystery." Some biographers think "The Little Mermaid" was written in response to the marriage of Collin, who commented in… [cont.]

Yoda's best quotes borrowed from Jesus?
Q. My favorite Yoda quote; "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering". These words, even though spoken by a fictional character are very poignant today, as in any age. Is this basic idea borrowed from some enlightened personage from the past? Maybe, Buddha, or Jesus? Any other great quotes with possible parallels? I recognize the Taoist infulence. I could not, at the time I posted the question, remember Lao Tzu's name.

A. A true prophet will be able to borrow or use quotes from all time periods. Perhaps he even borrowed one from Yoda as well. One such saying which reminds me of Yoda is: "My time is not yet."

Einstein, Hitler, and the fight over Personalities in R&S?
