If you could meet

Post by southern yankee »

Anyone in history?? Who would you want to meet?? What would you talk about??

The first person would be Jesus. and i think we would talk of how he felt when he was on earth, 2000 years ago

I think the 2nd would be Joan of Arc. How it was for to be a crusaider and a woman. in a man's world, back then.

Umm. Would I speak Aramaic and French or would they have to learn English first?

For goodness sake don't tell any Arabs that Joan of Arc was a Crusader, they'd go ballistic. As far as I remember she fought for a Roman Catholic army against another Roman Catholic army and was sentenced to death by a Roman Catholic court applying Roman Catholic church law, but I may be wrong.

I think I might have a long chat with Cecil Rhodes.

Jesus would be my first. I would talk to Him about some personal matters.

My parents would be next. I would apologize to them for all the hurt I caused them. Robert Ruark would be next. I liked his books and stories.

Scarcely that, she was dead at nineteen having only first left her village three years before. She was a betrayed manipulated child who, to the extent that she was responsible for her own actions and in the words of a Wikipedia encyclopedist, "turned the long standing Anglo-French conflict into a religious war" merely by speaking at the wrong place and the wrong time. Both England and France would have been better places had she died at birth. I mistrust everyone of either sex whose claim to fame is a belief that God had ordered them to kill people.

I did actually meet Sir Enoch Powell very briefly as a small child but I'd love to meet him as an adult.

I'd ask him If his vision of England that he described In the 60's was Indeed the reality we have today.

You feel you'd walk away satisfied with some sort of a conclusion is that it? The creep was insane
