Who would it be? Someone like Bill Gates who has revolutionized the entire world over the past 30 years. Or would it be someone like Alexander the Great who managed to conquer most of the known world at the time. Even someone like Jesus who whether or not you are religious, has impacted every day of your life.

Jesus happened. And I bet he was way cooler than religion makes him out to be. Just a guy that toked up and was ahead of his time. Jesus was one of the first dirty hippies.

thats fucked there is no way i believe that.

wouldnt he have had to have 10% as many babies as there were asians alive at the time for that number to stay the same over time? that assumption may be wrong.

i know he fucked a lot of girls and raped people all over the world, but still, thats really hard to believe.

actually it's been proved pretty satisfactorily that more than .5% the world today is directly descended from him. that's what happens when you spread your seed that far and that often

Absoluetly not, stop trying to impress your high school friends wih your 'so radical its gotta be true' shit. Hitler came to power through the spreading of his ideas, which, no matter how you look at it, are fucking awful for humanity. He was a brilliant tactician and a great speaker, but he could only lead a world in which his horrific ideals ruled. Go write a paper proving what i just said wrong, i cant wait for your history teacher to destroy you in front of class like that little neo-natzi in my high school.

Not at all. If you're thinking caesar, then Augustus would be the person to say in my opinion. But to the OP success is a very broad term.

I'd say Nelson Mandela, Gandhi and Mother Teresa
or Bill Gates, some other rich people and whoever invented the wheel
or Genghis Khan and Augustus
