I was thinking about going with Edison too, but figured the Tesla-boner-getters would be on my ass.

I almost put Tesla but figured Qwert would be on my ass.

Well, he worked and died in the US didn't he? lol

Also, he was born in Croatia.

I think you can put him instead of Edison safely. If the Serbians come looking for trouble, we can find a couple of Croatians to give em a piece of their mind

I thought Croatia was a pig farm in northern Serbia?

I see the wisdom in Saxi's preventative injunction, and Neitze's tireless pestering.

I will wait until the 11th

2) Ernest Rutherford
3) Edmund Hillary
4) Peter Jackson
5) Peter Snell
6) Jean Batten

The order was tough and theres some sporting and musical notables I wanted to mention but didnt have time. Basically NZ is one of the greatest countries in the world.

Count the number of politicians: 0, why? Because voting for a politician as your countries most important figure is beyond retarded. Actions speak a LOT louder than words and rhetoric.

[Haggis_McMutton]

Exhibit 432 of scotty using apparently innocuous threads to push his political agenda.

HAS HE NO SHAME ???

P.S. I'm gonna give another americans a couple more shots at this. There's one american figure that should definitely be on this list, but that most people have probably not even heard about. (though I mentioned this a while ago on CC, so maybe someone remembers what I'm talking about). Also, juan, no spoilers. I think you know who I'm talking about.

JUST HAVE FAITH

uh huh.

but ... but ... being a career politician is the noblest and most worthwile career possible.

It's not like their whole job is to manipulate facts and trick people or anything.

No Hitler? I'm surprised! There are few people in the world who has had as big impact as he has. Albeit not a positive one. But that's no requirement.

I know a few Germans and I know they don't want to hear about Hitler.
Ever.
They feel guilty even if they weren't even born.

I demand to be put in number 1.

[General Brock II]

Canada's 10 most important figures:

No. 1: Stephen Harper (first member of the reconstituted Conservative Party of Canada - voted and survived three terms, trying to redeem the nation after Mulroney, Campbell, Chretien and Martin).

No. 2: Queen Elizabeth II (though not Canadian, she certainly factors in the top)

No. 3: Either Sir Iraac Brock ("saviour" of Upper Canada in Canada's greatest known defensive conflict) or General Wolfe (the man who allowed England to capture and "mould" Canada)

No. 4: Lester B. Pearson

No. 5: Alexander Graham Bell

No. 6: Prince Rupert of the Rhine (first governor of the Hudson Bay Company, which, of course, encouraged the exploration and settlement of Canada)

No. 7: Samuel de Champlain (the first man to settle interior Canada, aside from the Vikings)

No. 8: Dr. Frederick Banting

No. 9: Louis riel?

No. 10: Trudeau (though it galls me to admit it... the man messed Canada up forever).
