Answer 1

Answer 2

Harry Truman

Answer 3

Truman was the one who slaughter millions, no better than Hitler.

Answer 4

I voted for George Washington since he was the Father of Our Country.

Answer 5

You voted for George Washington?
You must be much older than you look :-)

Answer 6

I only just missed him myself, HegeMarie. :)

Answer 7

A tie between Washington and Lincoln, as founder and preserver of the Union.

That Clinton and Obama should be on your list is simply laughable.  :-D

Answer 8

Only 'Captain America' has the super powers and can save US from bad guys.

Answer 9

Captain Marvel was much better than Captain America.  :-)

Answer 10

Viewed from outside the US the most influential leaders appear to be Lincoln and Washington. A few of the 20th century presidents might also make the cut, but history favoured those two.

You've had some great presidents but, boy, have you picked a few lemons. One thing's for sure, if you're silly enough to elect Trump the only way he'll qualify for the "most important: tag will be if he gets into an arm wrestle with Putin and kicks off WWIII. And, don't dismiss that possibility: he really IS that egotistical.

Answer 11

The 20th century leader was Reagan, whom others said the same thing you just said about Trump. did that happen? No.  We are already in WWIII.

Answer 12

That's nonsense. Reagan was a joke. But if you think we're already in  WW3 it explains how you could be led to think such a thing. Reason will always trump (unfortunate pun) prejudice and conditioning.

Answer 13

off the top of my head........Eisenhower

Answer 14

FDR

Answer 15

Hi, and thank you! I may return to amirite one day, but right now it got a little too much.
I will look you up if I do ;-)
I was unable to write on your wall or send you a private message, but if you go to my profile and click on the star we will be able to write each other again. They made the change resently. I already favorited you.
Hope you and old Franklin D. forgive me for putting this here :-)

Answer 16

@ Hege  have you DA'd off Amirite ?

Answer 17

@Serenity yes I left. It is better in here

Answer 18

@  Hege  this is our Little Retreat from that Hell Pit and our Friends know where we are :)

Answer 19

That is good. Most of my friends have an account in here at least, if not an active one:-)

Answer 20

@ Hege Many of my Friends do not have an account , they'll just have to Bloody well make one if they miss me  lolz   :P

Answer 21

You're taking a time-out yourself? :-)

Answer 22

@ Hege   Yeah

I never announce it , my friends just kind of figure out I'm gone when they see some Cheeky ass comment by Anonymous XD

Answer 23

Haha, I guess. But how can you comment when you're deactivated?
I can't do anything on there now..

Answer 24

@ Hege   "hmmmm" you tried to , that just means that all these anonymous Users causing Trouble are not UN REGISTERED at all , they are all MEMBERS of AMIRITE because I tried leaving Platinum a message on his post and it told me I had to sign in.

I have left so many Cheeky ass comments on Amirite , they'll know if it's me whether I'm anonymous or not .........I'm unforgettable         hahaha   XD

Answer 25

Yeah, I guess that's true. With McRib, you always know it is him, no matter what name he pick for himself. No comparison btw, haha.
You spoke about the "revolving door" earlier. What's the trick?
I get stopped at the door. Do I have to make a new account if I want to get back one day?

Answer 26

@ Hege  no babe

All you do is sign in and then AM will send you an email and you verify it and you're back in , even just to say hello to a Friend.

Your account stays the same , nothing changes at all

I think that's quite a good feature actually because if Dan DA's someone by request , they need to make a New account , which is a Pain in the ass tbh.

Answer 27

Strange. That doesn't work.
I try to log in, and get the message. "wrong password/username".
Then I request a new password, enter my e-mail and get a message saying "New password sent" but no mail in my box :-( Checked spam filter too.

Answer 28

@ Hege  let me know when you want to get back on and I will reactivate and ask James to sort it because CONTACT SUPPORT can take up to 5 days to get back to you.

Dallas had the very same problem and it was quickly fixed. :)

Answer 29

Thank you! I will do that :-)

Answer 30

@ Hege  Platinum is gonna look into it for you , he's messaging James now :)

Answer 31

@ Hege  he said try now and let me know

Answer 32

I tried again. Still no luck, but thanks anyway.
Worst that can happen is that I have to make a new account.

Answer 33

@  Hege  I'll have a word , making a New account is a Pain in the ass and
 you lose all your PM's :(

Answer 34

Thank you. No rush, maybe I just have to wait. When I deactivated I got a message saying someone on customer service would be in touch, but that it could take up to 5 working days. It was on Friday

Answer 35

@ Hege   Oh yeah I get that every time , just an automated message babe :)

Answer 36

I managed!
