Sheldon Cooper -I'm a physicist. I have a working knowledge of the entire universe and everything it contains

Amy's Mom: It's nice to meet you too Sheldon, I honestly didn't believe Amy when she told me she had a boyfriend.
Sheldon: I assure you, I am quite real and I'm having regular intercourse with your daughter.
Amy's Mom: What?
Sheldon: Oh yes, We're like wild animals in heat. It's a wonder neither of us has been hurt!
Amy's Mum: Amy? What is he saying?
Amy: You wanted me to have a boyfriend, mother, well here he is! Have to sign off now. My hunger for Sheldon is stirring in my loin.
Sheldon: Oh yes. It's time for me to make love to your daughter's vagina.

I totally agree, his poetry readings are sublime.

Padraig Pearse. Deeply intellectual man, teacher and barrister. He was described my many as fanatical; one of the reasons he was unfortunately used by the Provo IRA as a figurehead.

Is the title of this thread "flawed genius" and not paragon? Hitler was a political genius as was Abraham Lincoln.

Hitler may not have been a military genius but he was able to convince a nation to support him and his radical ideas. He was able to demonize several ethnic and social groups, and was able to plant small ideas in a populace that allowed them to materialize into savages. That takes genius.

Lincoln was also a political genius. His legacy as one of the greatest POTUS that ever held the office (him and George Washington are considered the best ever) is due to people assigning modern traits to him, but he was a product of the thinking of his time, and held many racist and racialized beliefs. Yet, he is considered the Great Emancipator and the savior of our country because of his fight to keep a fractured country together.
