I agree that our Hitler vs. 4 billion Gandhis matchup ended up being a little out of place in our serious violence thread. But just the idea of a machine-gun wielding Hitler vs. a non-army of Gandhis is just too funny an idea for me to pass up. So anybody who wants to continue this hypothetical scenario or fictitious matchups between other historical figures, feel free to bring it!

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Reagan vs Gorbachev
Lincoln vs Jefferson Davis
Rush Limbaugh vs Al Franken (they're leaders in ideals, if not in actual power!)

When you say Caesars vs. Brutus, do you mean just Julius Caesar, or do you actually mean all the Caesars from all the time periods ganging up on Brutus? Cause that would kick ass! "Who's e tu'ing now?!"

You must be joking...
Franken...power, in the same sentence??
The Air America network probably has less then 10% of the affiliates of Rush by himself. Franken couldn't even take Dr. Laura.

Who the fork is Dr. Laura?

Although I'm tempted to agree with you on Franken's lack of power, he's the only rough equivalent I could think of.

How did I know that Jesus wasn't going to be immune from this for long? I'm suddenly picturing South Park...

I propose a debate, not a fight. God vs people who suffer in this world. Each side has 1 minute to ask a question, and the other one 2 minutes to reply. Each side can do 5 questions. After that, they'll answer questions from the moderator and from the audience.
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

Let me make sure I have this clear. You're proposing that one of us stands in for God and does our best to answer other people's complaints about life?

With the exception of Jag, I'm not sure any of us here have that sort of ego, Ric.

You can read me like a book Chaltab, I didn't even realize it came off that strong hehe.

But I HAVE noticed that I have more ego online then anywhere else. In fact (if you can believe it), some people in my household and neighborhood have compared me to Jesus. Now don't misinterpret why I'm saying this(for instance....uh a big ego lol?). I'm just saying it to emphasize that people are different online.

That said, I still think it would be innapropriate for me to play God. If you want me to, that's fine. But um......I'm Buddhist. So.....yeeeaaaaahhhh..................

What I am proposing is having a televised debate between God, who would come to Earth by using someone's image (I propose a 1960s Don Knotts in a black suit), and about 5 people who are currently suffering. One with a crushing loneliness and depression, the one with health problems and in a pain beyond any medical help, the one who has lost wife and children in an accident, the poor one with no money to even buy food or clothes, and the handicapped one. They all ask to God why are their lifes so miserable, and He must reply. then God can ask them if they have been good and loving people, and they must reply. The people watching the debate can judge if God deserves our worship, and if we should go to church and follow His words, OR if we should agree with Nietzche and abandon this idiotic concept of a all-powerful all-knowing all-loving God.

The only snag in this really good idea is the 1 and 2 minute parts, why don't we just do 1 and 2 posts? Time is hard to cover in forums.

If you really wanted this debate to take place in all objectivity, you shouldn't have coloured your last sentence so much...

How about a tag-team match: Che Guevara and Vladimir Lenin vs. Ronald Reagan and Sen. Joseph McCarthy?

LOL

Touché. But I wouldn't moderate it, wouldn't be fair. I suggest a 1940s ghots of Moe Howard to do it.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger

Syndicated radio host 'available to help people with a wide range of personal, work, and familial problems. She "preaches, teaches, and nags about morals, values and ethics."' (from her FAQs). In November 2003, she was on 275 stations (Wikipedia).

WTAM in Cleveland carried her from 9AM-11:30AM for a few years, until shortly after 9/11 when they went with local programming for a couple weeks, then changed over to Glenn Beck. She could get QUITE annoying and I very much appreciated the change to Glenn Beck (who was dumped by WTAM for Jerry Springer...who lasted just a few months before they dumped him. His ratings were abyssmal).

To stretch the rules a bit, how about an army of Ghandis versus an army of Dave Chappelles?

Greek Philosophers vs. German Philosophers
...wait, we already know that the greeks won by a score of 1-0, despite arguements by the Germans with referee Confucius.
"Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination, and Marx is claiming Socrates was off-sides."

Nice Monty Python sketch. Although I prefer the ones in which Marx, Mao and Che Guevara answer questions about songs and soccer.

I don't recall anything about songs...just soccer.

Oh, I'm sorry that was a trick question. They never won the cup.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of when I devised my earlier match-up (though, with the addition of French philosophers)...

Eric Idle: Teddy Johnson and Pearl Carr won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1959. What was the name of the song?

Mao Tse Tung: (after some silence) Sing Little Birdie?

Eric Idle: Yes it is!
