Do you know what, JJ? I donGÇÖt think that your attitude GÇ£convince me heGÇÖs cool dudeGÇ¥ will develop into the interesting discussion. I also think, after reading all your posts on this thread, that while comparing Alexander to other, undeniably prominent figures, in the hurry you confused the 2 terms: Great and Saint. One doesnGÇÖt have to be saint and morally pure to deserve the title of greatness. Alexander had plenty of faults, maybe even more than the regular Joe. (By the way, education wasnGÇÖt one of them GÇô the guy had the Harvard (or Oxford for that matter) university degree of that time GÇô but you read his biography, donGÇÖt you?) But thatGÇÖs exactly what makes him that more fascinating (at least for me). He was just a man. Sometimes a weak man. Sometimes a cruel man. Sometimes a drunken man. Like all of us happen to be from time to time (ok, IGÇÖm female and I donGÇÖt drink, but all the rest applies
) A man who had manage to change the world history. Because after him, world never would become to be the same in military, political, economical and cultural senses.
(And please, donGÇÖt start GÇ£he was just one lucky bastardGÇ¥ GÇô people do have influence on their fate and luck. As a professional loser I know it.
)Very few people were able to do the same and they are known for it. If itGÇÖs not enough to deserve the title of GÇ£GreatGÇ¥, please, be kind to inform us about the legal criterions. Also, I donGÇÖt want to interrupt your contest with Alexander about the size of your genitals, but can you, please, keep it off this board?
