Who r0xx0rs your s0xx0rs harder - Vaclav Havel or Nelson Mandela?
Two modern icons. Who r0xx0rs the s0xx0rs?

Vaclav Havel
Nelson Mandela

Got to go with Havel here, personally. Nothing against Mandela, of course - but we can't discount Havel's role in ending the Soviet empire and the Cold War.

Havel did nothing to end the USSR and during his presidency he's been rather horrible for both the former Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic.

Soviet empire extended outside USSR.

And Havel certainly had his part in the Eastern European dissident movement.

A very small part. He was a dissident playwright. He was cetainly far less important to his cause than Mandela was to his. Nor did Mandela start handing over state property to the decendents of nobility, outlaw political parties, and help the break u of his country.

Bloody humanist? I thought that after end of his function nobody would hear "anything" about him.
Damned rich oligarch supported by CIA. How many people was arreste thanks to bloody humanist? I didn't counted them, but I know he talked about dissent to taped phone.
Cite from people that are living in czech republic "basterd oligarch, lost touch with reality, have no comon sense, lazy, selfish, guilible"
I could continue, but it wouldn't be nice.

Bananas are best.
