speaking with a historical figure

If you could speak with any hisortical figure who would it be? Don't consider language as a barrier, if need be you could have a translater. Please explain your answer.

As for me I would like to be able speak Nobunaga Oda. I would like to ask him if he ever thought that Mitsuhide Akechi would betray him and what his plans would have been if he had taken control of Japan, because if he had taken control Japan would be a lot different now-a-days.

Dr. Josef Rudolf Mengele, and not for perverse motives.

Or maybe Severo Ochoa.

Abraham Lincoln. I would congratulate him on his excellent choice of headwear and the fine quality of his beard.

Alaric The Visigoth.

[/thread]

Oh my god, where would I begin?

Too many to choose. XD A world leader? An inventor?

But only one? D=

Hmmmmm...

Napoleon Bonaparte, then. I'd also bring along maps and documents to show him how he can finally defeat his enemies.

Leaders: Probably Adolf Hitler or Napoleon Bonaparte.
Scientists: Albert Einstein, Carl Friedrich Gauss, and Issac Newton

Genghis Khan, and ask him if I could have his concubines. He'd say yes, and then we'd high-five and rout Georgia.

The man had class, and for that I tip my hat to him.

I would probably meet Mary Shelly, mainly to ask her what she was on when she wrote Frankenstein.

I would speak with Nikola Tesla the inventor!He is my idol!!!

Fixed

definitely Elizabeth Bathory, just to see if she was as demented as people say she was.

D= I'm sick of hearing about him, it is nothing against you bu thats all my friend talks about, I'm going to bring round things if I ever meet him, or if a time machine is invented.

I would either want to speak with Chopin or Bob Kane.

*Imagines you beating the crap out of Nikola Tesla*

That poor, poor Tesla. XD

At least Edison's laughing gleefully. He pretty much went "Dibs on the electricity and lightbulbs kthxbai."

EDIT: Lord Nelson? One of my fav. British general!

Adolf Hitler.

No one else comes to mind right now, although there's probably many more.

I'd speak with only the manliest historical figures: Teddy Roosevelt, Aesop, Genghis Khan, Blackbeard, William Perry, and Erik the Red. I would convince Teddy, Khan, Blackbeard, Erik the Red, and William Perry that the state of manhood is in mortal chaos due to the effects of globalization and feminism and tell them to curb stomp any pussies that get in their way of invading and pillaging. Aesop would be writing the virtues of why such a feat is great for the world.

Stop liking Japan.

Vice Admiral, he was in the Navy not the Army

Lord Nelson is one of my hero’s and in my opinion the greatest man ever.

Why? I like Japan, so what, that has almost no influence on my question. If Nobunaga would have taken over, Japan wouldn't have been secluded from the world for so long. If this had happend America may have been able to build an aliance with Japan thus in turn when WWII comes around we wouldn't have had to fight over in the Pacific saving thousands of American soldiers.

Leon Trotsky, Vladimir Lenin, Peter Kropotkin, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, and Mikhail Bakunin.

If William Perry never forced trade on Japan, they wouldn't end up hating us. That's why I consider him manly, the dude was basically the douchebag of his day and helped usher in the age of imperialism in America.
