Jimothy Posted 3 February 2015 Posted 3 February 2015 Jackie Chan is the 4th most admired man in the world?!?!?
Webbo Posted 3 February 2015 Author Posted 3 February 2015 Jackie Chan is the 4th most admired man in the world?!?!? The Chinese PM is 3rd. I'm guessing a lot of chinese did the poll.
Jimothy Posted 3 February 2015 Posted 3 February 2015 The Chinese PM is 3rd. I'm guessing a lot of chinese did the poll. I suppose there are a few of them knocking around Earth.
bovril Posted 3 February 2015 Posted 3 February 2015 Angelina Jolie is awful. Her films have been almost universally shite.
Guest MattP Posted 3 February 2015 Posted 3 February 2015 We've got a woman here who creates wealth for the country and is the 4th most admired in the world and some people want rid of her. Incredible when you actually think about it. Obama at number 2 is beyond belief.
Fox92 Posted 3 February 2015 Posted 3 February 2015 I always see Kate Middleton on these lists and she does fvck all.
ScouseFox Posted 3 February 2015 Posted 3 February 2015 can only assume scousefox was left off the list in some kind of computer error
EnderbyFox Posted 3 February 2015 Posted 3 February 2015 I always see Kate Middleton on these lists and she does fvck all. Cracking arse though
Webbo Posted 3 February 2015 Author Posted 3 February 2015 Jason statham is the 8th most admired man in russia?
hairy Posted 3 February 2015 Posted 3 February 2015 Farage, Clooney, Jackman, Salmond and Clinton I need to move country
Itsthejoeker Posted 3 February 2015 Posted 3 February 2015 Angelina Jolie is awful. Her films have been almost universally shite. I'm pretty sure her charitable work is the thing being judged here, not her film work.
Danno Posted 3 February 2015 Posted 3 February 2015 Jason statham is the 8th most admired man in russia? !
bovril Posted 3 February 2015 Posted 3 February 2015 I'm pretty sure her charitable work is the thing being judged here, not her film work. Yeah, I get it. I just dislike her.
Itsthejoeker Posted 3 February 2015 Posted 3 February 2015 Yeah, I get it. I just dislike her. Fair enough. How is George Bush 20th though?!
Jimothy Posted 3 February 2015 Posted 3 February 2015 Jason statham is the 8th most admired man in russia? I love the thinking that must go into some voting. "You know I really admire how Stephen Hawking has lived with his disability whist producing some of the most groundbreaking research over the past few decades, but that nothing compared to the way Jason Statham played the crazy goalkeeper in Mean Machine."
Guest seanfox778 Posted 3 February 2015 Posted 3 February 2015 Some bizarre names on there haha. George W. Bush in the top 20? Surely must be the older one.
Harry - LCFC Posted 3 February 2015 Posted 3 February 2015 We've got a woman here who creates wealth for the country and is the 4th most admired in the world and some people want rid of her. Incredible when you actually think about it. Obama at number 2 is beyond belief. I don't suppose you really mean that. The republican position is one of the easiest to understand in politics: that is that no-one has the right to be head of state or to power and privilege because of the family they're born in to. In fact we're all familiar with a very similar principle - the idea that every citizen should be equal before the law. It's just that some people throw it out when it pleases them. In answer to the Queen's popularity, I'd say what really matters is the resolute 'no' you'd get in response if you suggested to the Americans that they adopt the same system. They might like reading the fairytale from afar but they'd recoil at the idea of having it brought to them.
Guest MattP Posted 3 February 2015 Posted 3 February 2015 You can't really democratically implement a monarchy though can you? It has to come from a consequence of history from times long before these.
LanguedocFox Posted 3 February 2015 Posted 3 February 2015 Proof, if proof were needed, that democracy is wasted on an awful lot of people (or a lot of awful people, if you like). Unfortunately, as Churchill said, it's the worst form of government apart from all the others that have been triec.
Harry - LCFC Posted 3 February 2015 Posted 3 February 2015 You can't really democratically implement a monarchy though can you? It has to come from a consequence of history from times long before these. Haha I suppose that's correct! Says it all really, antithetical to best system of government we have and backwards. Very, very backwards. Oh and side note, why does it have to come from history? Because back then you get away with claiming your family had the divine right to rule. In the present day we're far too upright and civilised to even consider such a claim, if it were made now, as being legitimate.

sphericalfox Posted 3 February 2015 Posted 3 February 2015 Jackie Chan is the 4th most admired man in the world?!?!? Shit. You've clearly not seen Armour of God.
