I don´t understand why is Meryl Streep, Dolly Parton and few others. But I admit I don´t know much about these women, so maybe you can tell me what makes them genuis.

I´d like to see Mike Jackson there too. wink
"When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all."

I'll tell you who is a genius - the guy who invented the garage door opener and the guy who invented air conditioning and the guy who invented the bagger on the back of lawn mowers.
Many of the people on this list haven't done anything to improve our lives.
Someone who makes my life better or easier - now thats a genius! biggrin

I can't believe Dolly Parton is below quite a few people on that list confused

She's been writing songs since she was a teenager plus she has her own theme park. At LEAST put her above Aretha.

And why isn't Trey Parker & Matt Stone on this list? biggrin


Hey, don't forget her Dollies: 2 true works of Art.

that doesnt make him a genius


It makes him something. I am sure to his people it makes him GOD. Remember these aren't just arbitrary names thrown out at random. He got nominated by more than one person.



That comment would be blasphemous to any muslim. He may well be a 'hero' to 'his people' by which I take it you mean Muslims, But that has nothing to do with 'genius' or 'god' - We're all well aware of what he has done, but the original objection was to him being a genius - Nothing you have said has anything to do with being a genius - Check the meaning in a dictionary if you must.

Yeah that is a grave insult!!! Completely agree with u in that aspect. Hawking is a math genius whose theories r understood by just 4 people in the world! U don't get more cryptic than that.

rolleyes Thanks for your thoughtful, mature response. Don't ASSume you know what I believe or disbelieve. I asked a straight forward question, which you avoided. If you're going to make inflamatory statements at least "man up" enough to provide relevent responses if someone asks you a question about it.

(Oh and btw your image of a sheep watching Bush doesn't support your vague point. Bush & co. are convincing people that Iraq had something to do with 9/11, not bin Laden. So someone who thinks that bin Laden & 9/11 are related is obviously not a sheep following Bush.)

Anyway this is completely off-topic to the original post so don't bother posting another response full of meaningless rhetoric.

Its great that Prince is on the list, but the list is very biased. Its an article written and printed by British media, so of course most of the people on the list are British. Can't take this article too serious.

Why the fuck did Osama Bin Laden make the list? Aside from having the most stupid name in all of the technocolifiable world, he has not made any contributions at all. My twocents


I can't be the only one who sees this statement as completely racist, can I?

The man behind the name is an evil piece of garbage, but the fact that you're attacking his name itself seems really racist to me. I'm sure many people from the Middle East think a name like "John Smith" is stupid.

Let's try to stick to judging the man and not the ethnicity.

Why the fuck did Osama Bin Laden make the list? Aside from having the most stupid name in all of the technocolifiable world, he has not made any contributions at all. My twocents


I can't be the only one who sees this statement as completely racist, can I?

The man behind the name is an evil piece of garbage, but the fact that you're attacking his name itself seems really racist to me. I'm sure many people from the Middle East think a name like "John Smith" is stupid.

Let's try to stick to judging the man and not the ethnicity.


I have to agree making fun of Osama's name is pretty juvenile.
