since this is the celebrities board, I must admit I was a bit surprised to see Adolph and some others :-)

boxjaw: seriously?
do you see most quizzes about Hitler in Celebrities or History?
I don't have to look up the meaning for celebrity, but I might want to double check exactly what the meaning of what a wiseguy is

I'm staying out of this one, boxjaw could cause murder in an empty house. Now we have a difference of opinion over what is a celebrity. Roll on round two, boxjaw v paulmallon, lol.

I'm sorry that you don't agree with me paul. I certainly don't have any admiration for the man. None whatsoever. I simply feel that his name has been tossed around freely whenever some in the world try to compare other lesser evils to his monstrous deeds. There can be no comparison. Yet it happens time and time again.
I wasn't trying to push anyones buttons.

I understand, I could have avoided the confusion I seem to have caused by saying celebrities in the entertainment field, my bad.
Maybe I should do one on the "Greatest Villains of All Time" on the History site:-)

Well I am buying into this one Lockjaw - whoops sorry Boxjaw - I think you are stirring and I agree with Paul, Hitler definitely was not a celebrity, far from it, he was a maniac nothing less and if you want an argument about it you should have had the chance to speak to my late first husband who saw the inside of a concentration camp compliments of Herr Adolf. I suspect you weren't old enough to know about things like that.

You have no argument from me. I stated in a previous post how I feel about the wicked man. My great-grandfather was sent to a concentration camp for trying to not have his youngest and last living son taken away to serve in the wehrmacht. I remember him quite well. I'm sorry that your husband had to suffer the same inhumanities Mommakat.

I apologize to anyone who is offended by my choice. Again it wasn't made to give the man anykind of crediblity. It was only made because the horrible acts he was behind have become somewhat belittled by how so many journalists, politicians and bloggers have used his name to compare others' and their acts to his. To even try to make comparisons is absolutely incredulous. It also tarnishes the memory of everyone of the people that were harmed or killed by his insanity.

I don't think I could possibly pick just 6 people from the 20th century who are the most memorable; but, I do think that to be included in any grouping of "most memorable," they should be people whose names/accomplisments are known throughout the world. In other words, if you asked people in Argentina, Albania, Alberta, and Algeria who is person X, all of them would be likely to identify the individual.

What is "celebrity"?
I would define that these days to mean some under-talented, over paid, media non-entity, foisted on the public by a hyped up media, and thus consider themselves to be a far greater importance and interest than they actually are.
So - using that criteria - nobody!
