So you consider Andrew Jackson to most admirable yet you also consider him to be worthy enough to be at number ten in your loath list.


I only have some that I find generally admirable for the most part though they where imperfect just like all humans.

1) Thomas Jefferson
2) Theodore Roosevelt



Worthy of loathing (really a tie for the top spot)
1) Adolf Hitler
2) Joseph Stalin
3) The mayor of Toronto with the crack smoking video seems pretty worthless

Are you confusing Andrew Jackson and Andrew Johnson?

Admire Andrew Jackson, and loathe Andrew JOHNSON

Don't get me even started. The most useless and unneeded trouble makers mankind has ever invented. Neither natural disasters nor pandemic outbreaks of diseases have costed mankind so dearly as the caste of politicians have. All evil that ordinary men avoid and that people of a nation do not call for and do not cause, politicians have enforced time and again - by decision and intention, ambition and recklessness. Politicians are a biblical plague. And it seems it has been like that since all beginning on.

Remember folks, politicians are a different species.

The act of being elected mutates DNA at chromosome level. Homo Horribilis

It could be your friend or family member, once elected they're not who they used to be. The sooner you get used to the idea of ramming a stake through their eyes the better.

Politicians hearts pump not blood, but an oily viscous goo that boils when exposed to sunlight.

Politicians. They're not people.

Except from hate, flame and mad discussions, what could ever come from this thread?

When you have a process of elections where the liars, the sweet-talkers, the unscrupulous, most of the time win because they tell the people what they want to hear, you have a system then that rewards immorality. And when those knowing the bitter truths and offering nothing but tears and blood, stand no chance for people do not wish to hear that, and when the alternative to this is violent regimes where the dogs with the, longest fangs claim power - what else do you expect to get?

How could you get anything else than right what we get in abundance...?

What we get is right what we deserve. Because we follow the rules that make certain that this and nothing else must be the outcome, necessarily. The game is corrupt., The rules corrupt the players. Those few not allowing to get corrupted, get crucified or stay isolated and impotent.

So, politics do not "change politicians' genes". Its exactly the other way around. "Changed genes" are a precondition for entering the political arena. Those few the may qualify as exceptions form the rule, remain powerless and uninfluential, and sooner or later get eaten. My sympathy is limited. When you swim with the sharks in their very own pool and play the game by their very own rules, you need to expect that you sooner or later get bitten.

Why do you loathe Lincoln Bubble? Sure he did a lot wrong but he kept the Union together in the end and also ended slavery.(Also if he hadn't been assassinated we may never have even needed the civil rights movement.)
