Hitler got 4 votes :p:p:p:p:p:p:p

Here we go again. That Churchill "quote" was almost certainly not said by Churchill, but by George Bernard Shaw. If it was said by Churchill, it was not to some "socialite", but to his legendary foil Lady Astor. Here are a couple of just as funny, but provable, exchanges between Sir Winston and women:


Bessie Braddock: “Sir, you are drunk.”
Churchill: “Madam, you are ugly. In the morning, I shall be sober.”
Nancy Astor: “Sir, if you were my husband, I would give you poison.”
Churchill: “If I were your husband I would take it.”

hehe, yeah Winston did say some good stuff....but he did also say some things that I think was quite "beatiful".

-I am prepared to meet my maker; whether my maker is prepared to meet me is entirely another matter.

-We will not say thereafter that the Greeks fight like heroes, but heroes fight like the Greeks! (his statement after the greek victory aganst the invading Italian forces.)

-If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain.

-When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite.

hoho, ol' Winston did say some clever stuff during his year as a cigar-smoking lad.

For some of the things old Winston didn't say.

Gotta love old Churchy.

I voted for Bernard. I'll be damned before I take a bullet for some dumb politician. :lol:

I have no change when it comes to quote anyone. You are the master of knowledge....master:rotfl:

None of them are worth saving.

I voted for donitz well he out lived the rest of them.

I wouldn't take a bullet for any of those listed. This said, if I had been born 80 or so years ago, I would have very much liked to have been within shooting range of Hitler.

Personally, I think a better poll question would be something like this:

"Imagine that you are magically transported to August 31, 1939: The day before Germany launches its attack on Poland. You have a finely tuned 1911A1 .45ACP, but you only have three (3) cartridges. You're have a teleportation device that can take you anywhere in the world in the blink of an eye, but after you fire three rounds, you're taken back to the present time (unless you're stupid enough to shoot your parents/grandparents, because you then disappear). You're not allowed to use any other weapons. Who would you shoot and why?"

For Bernard. :p

I wouldn't shoot anyone and get straight back to the future ASAP! Who knows what I could screw up.
If I wanted to shoot Hitler, I'd then have to choose between preventing WW2 and the Holocaust, or my whole extended family, who would never had been born had the war not taken place.

Bernard Rules :p :p

At least with him we can never run out of excuses when things go wrong :D :D :D

Churchill...he answered the call from his country when nobody else dared :up:
Hmm...Strange how they sh*t on him after the wars end ! :nope:

The ancient greeks used to say 'When an old and mighty tree falls down everyone can get wood for the fire, although while the tree was standing that was impossible'. How correct thry were :yep: :yep:
