If we as a species could bring only one person back to life, for whom would you vote to bring back?
I understand that everyone has a certain loved one that they would want to see again, but thats not what I am asking about. If you were trying to pick the person who would have the most positive effect on society,(like an inventor or scientist or leader or whatever) who would you pick?
Oh, and in this hypothetic situation we can bring back anyone from any point in history, no matter how decomposed they are and they will just as pretty as they were when they were alive.

Cliff motherfucking Burton
Because of his death, Metallica went to shit
Also Hendrix, because he was simply the shit.
Alan Turing. His developments led to the computer, making him one of the most important scientists of the twentieth century. He was castrated by the British government for being gay, and killed himself. I cast my vote to bring Turing back to life for the further innovations he could have developed that we would all use.
Moses Maimonides? Leonardo da Vinci? Alan Turing? St Augustine? Gautama Buddha? Richard Feynman? Neils Bohr? Count Lev Tolstoy? Jeanne D’Arc? The guy who wrote Ecclesiastes? J. W. von Goethe? The Baal Shem Tov? Jesus Christ? Frank Sinatra? Gene Tierney? W. C. Fields? Count Basie? I. Bashevis Singer? Mickey Mantle?
Jesus.
We have some shit we have to get straight from the horses mouth now a-days.
Also George Carlin, Nico, Fulci, Vincent motherfucking Price, Hunter S Thompson, Lon Chaney Sr and Boris Karloff
Paul Lynde? Shecky Greene? Shabbtai Zevi? One of the Lascaux cave painters? Praxiteles? Aristotle? Homer? Edna St Vincent Millay? Hunter Thompson? Jimmy Hendricks? Walter Cronkite?
@Sampson Thats who I was going to say (and I’m an atheist). He is pretty much the most influential person ever and if anyone could convince people to stop killing each other, it would be him.
Leonard Da Vinci is a good one
Chuck Schuldiner!!!!
AiROW, too, bring that bitch up again
GG ALLIN!!! I would love to see what’s he up to
@teh_kvlt_liberal No, wis.dm!!!
Jack Kerouac should be brought back. He went out to early.
No way, Jay was the shit. He was like Jay-Z. Without the Z
I’m serious, he kind of did looked like him
Ronald Reagan.
Bin Laden, Chavez, Gaddafi and their ilk wouldn’t try their shit with him in charge.
America needs Mark Twain back.
I second both Einstein and Tesla
Frankly, if Hunter S Thompson was suddenly brought back, that man would be pissed, and I wouldn’t want to be in range…
Mahatma Gandhi, Jesus, Lennon, Kennedy all killed, all could have done more (though they all got the important stuff done).
I vote Tesla. He could figure out new energy sources, and get our dependency away from the Oil producing countries (like fuckin’ Texas).
Saddam Hussein. When he was alive (and in charge) there were almost no problems in Iraq – it was quite a safe and pleasant place to visit. Since then, although the war Bush started has killed and maimed tens of thousands more innocent people than he ever did – including all of those loyal troops who didn’t need to die – no one can establish secure control. (Before anyone says anything, yes I have spent a considerable amount of time in Iraq before it became a war zone – dating back to my childhood. Baghdad was a beautiful and exciting city – a place of mystery and history.)
Thinking of the Bush administration’s pretend war (unwarranted attack/invasion) always makes me recall the old seventies bumper sticker. “Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity”.
Nobody misses BILLY MAYS?
@DarkScribe said: Baghdad was a beautiful and exciting city – a place of mystery and history
LOL. Ya, mystery. like, where did all the shiite’s go? Have you seen my family after they were taken in the middle of the night? Where are those WMD’s anyway?
@filmfann _Ya, mystery. like, where did all the shiite’s go? _
Have you ever heard of propaganda? Like all the crazy stories about Saddam’s sons etc. There was some truth, much of it with some justification, and an awful lot of exaggeration.
@DarkScribe
You remind me of this quote from Team America, World Police:
“Last year I went to Iraq. Before Team America showed up, it was a happy place. They had flowery meadows and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate, where the children danced and laughed and played with gumdrop smiles. ”
@potrick: The Scribe is either not playing with a full deck or trolling. Ask any Kurd.
If the world took a vote right now, Michael Jackson would win, with Jesus at a distant second.
@Noel
Well, you’re the resident expert on trolling so far as I can tell, so I guess I’ll take your word for it. Let’s get back to how much we need Mark Twain back…
Cmon, Jimi Hendrix. He was cool as hell and his clothes were sweet.
Other than that, Jesus. Or Einstein. Or Caesar. AAAhhh.
I’m trolling? Okay, describe to us how you are so certain I’m not sincere.
I didn’t mean right now, I thought your comment was clever. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Why King Tut? He was just a dull-normal kid who died young. We would never have heard of him in history save for the accidental fact that his tomb was never robbed.
adolf hitler. so he could lead the republican party.
I’d second Jesus, despite being atheist, I’d want to hear what he has to say.
@ragingloli thats a little below the belt dont you think…
i would have to say colonel sanders
@jaketheripper: Loli’s just being outrageous, it’s so sexxi. Do me Loli. I’ll wear the panda suit.
@pdworkin Because I have a fascination/obsession with all things Egypt, and if he were brought back we could be married and produce handsome half egyptian children.
Stay with me here for a moment but Adolf Hitler isn’t that bad of a choice. Of course @ragingloli is trying to be funny/controversial by having him lead the Republican party, but I bet a lot of modern pshychiatrist, scientists and historians would just love a juicy test experiment like him. And if that doesn’t work out there are still a lot of people that want to hang him by his balls ball.
Kudos for the Jesus answers. Can you just imagine entering Jesus’ name in the computer and get a response like ‘computer says noooo’ or ‘record not found’.
@Mamradpivo When you put it like that we have no other choice than to correct that horrible mistake.
Erwin Schrödinger.
Well, actually he’s dead and alive at the same time. We just happen to be in the wrong universe.
Leonardo DiCaprio da Vinci.
I vote for GG allin again. That man is my HERO
@teh_kvlt_liberal Bringing back GG Allin wouldn’t be a good a good idea. It’d bring about the apocalypse.
I’d love to see what would happen if G G Allin was unleashed on Nickelback.
