hey all
after all the hoop-la over the queen being here and such i was curious who would be the most influential person in the world. (this isnt a republician/monarchy bashing thread either) would it be Barrack Obama? maybe kim-jong-il perhaps? or someone else, doesnt have to be a head of state just curious as to what people think?

For Australians it seems sports people are the heroes here, which I strongly detest but we're talking world wide here.
So I'd say the Pope or any other religious figurehead and I'll leave it at that before the mods re-enact June 6 1944 on our asses. |

The most influential person in the world should be your father or mother

I would say a ground breaking engineer or scientist, like Brunel, Darwin or Einstein. Celebs and sports people would be at the bottom of my list.

No offence, but if you've been to the USA in the last 12 months you'll know that Barack Obama would be near the bottom of that list. He's about as popular as our PM here.

Ronald McDonald,
Meets all the criteria: The most recognised man on the planet There is a shrine to him on every 2nd corner The numbers of worshippers is staggering, even disabled people who can not get out of their cars! He ended the cold war and his followers destroyed the Berlin wall to get to his shrines When ever you see big red shoes you automatically think of him He has been around for heaps longer than the internet Has caused as much debate as any man alive The list of reasons is endless.................
