Your thoughts?

God.

Probably someone posting on this forum.... probably a few people posting on this forum.

Hillary Clinton, who totally overestimates her importance in the world.

ooh ooh! me!

Probably someone posting on this forum.... probably a few people posting on this forum.

Not me. It's hard to feel arrogant with a jockstrap on your head.

Sigh, I don't even know why I bother posting here. You are all beneath me.

[/Arrogance]

Rafael Trujillo.

Jean le Kerr. (John Kerry)

Not me. It's hard to feel arrogant with a jockstrap on your head.
No. Not you. Never.

God.
Old Testament Yahweh, moreso.

Adamantia Fontaine. She was a girl that I knew in high school, and BOY was she arrogant.

The B*TCH!

Jean le Kerr. (John Kerry)

*TWEET!* Intentional partisan hackery. 5 yards and a loss of respect.

It's difficult to say, most certainly the most thoroughly arrogant person to have ever lived would have been far to uncompromising and have 'burnt too many of their bridges' so to speak, to have ever made it into the annals of history. Though the wording of the posed question was not 'ever to have lived' but who 'in history' meaning known in a continuing way. This is the case in which I would be uncertain, many can appear arrogant and not be so, other people can be arrogant about ideas not of themselves, ideologically arrogant, unthinking supremists and such, not selfishly arrogant. The most highly contrasted individual in history that I can think of who was the most self-awarely unlearned but ideologically arrogant was Charlemagne.

Mohammad Ali. Except he earned it. If you've ever listened to "I Am the Greatest" you'd know it is a master class in smack talk, and that was before he clobbered Liston.

I suppose all the major dictators go on the list, for assuming they're gods among men, or whatever. I want to say televangelists, they seem resolutely certain that they are messengers of God, which is close to the height of arrogance.

My vote goes to Donald Rumsfeld.

I'd say Adolf Hitler. Not because he felt that Germans were a superior breed of humanity, not for his condemnation of minorities, not even because of his early and ridiculous attempts to gain power.

But he thought he could fight Great Britain, the United States of America, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics at the same time and win.

Now, he did want to avoid a multiple front war. It was Germany's downfall in WWI and really did work to make sure that Germany was only fighting one front at a time. But that only ads to his arrogance, because before he'd actually defeated Great Britain because he thought that he had avoided a multiple-front war and the Britain was already out of the war.

Fidel Castro, because he thinks that because he is in charge of this poor Latin-American country that happens to e close to the U.S. that he is king of the world.

Sigh, I don't even know why I bother posting here. You are all beneath me.

Pfft... You didn't even remember to open your arrogance tag. But I'll allow you to get up off your knees now. That's enough worship of me for today.

Me. Yesterday I sent a letter to the real UN dictating terms of their surrender.

George W Bush.

No, Im serious.

"God wants me to be President".

Thats arrogance.

Well, he was pretty damn arrogant. But he had awesome strategies.

But he thought he could fight Great Britain, the United States of America, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics at the same time and win.

He pretty much did win. If it weren't for those pesky americans, Europe would be Germania.

That's pretty damn scary. :eek:

He was.

Germaia!
I'd live there... Well, unless of course I liked Japanese Australia too much to leave.

I'm agreeing with OT Yahweh on this on. I swear, every other page you see it written 50 times "I am God, your God. So don't be disrespecting me, beotch."

Alexander the Great.

Considered himself a God, had his best friends worship him as a God, conquered the world in roughly 8 years and cried when he had no one else to beat up and conquer, denied his own father so he could be the son of a god, killed his best friend when he made fun of him for pretending he was a god, named a bunch of cities after himself, brought record keepers and such along with him to record his victories, and so on and so forth.

That being said, I still think he's the coolest historical figure and one of the best, most personable generals in history.

Kudo, worms.

in my view Kerry.

Hillary Clinton, who totally overestimates her importance in the world.

I second the nomination of Hillary Clinton.

in my view Kerry.

Kerry IS arrogant(what politician isnt?), but hes not as bad as some people ive seen.

Seriously, that carpet seller in the Islamabad Supermarket F-7 district is REALLY arrogant! When i wouldnt buy his carpets he started going on and on about how he was better than everyone else in the Carpet buisiness...

I second the nomination of Hillary Clinton.

While she isnt the MOST arrogant(in my opinion), she ranks pretty high up there.

Bill and Hill in an arrogance deadlock.

All of you self-righteous retards. You should all realize that you need to stop spewing your partisan bullshit and start worshipping me, future supreme dictator. Maybe if you start now, I won't kill you in ten years.

Most arrogant in the world?

MunkeBrain. Only he could believe so wholeheartedly that we actually still listen to his bullshit.

My wife, no wait, she's the bitchiest.

I'm sorry, i am by far more arrogant than any of the aforementioned peopl.
i am so arrogant i don't even feel the need to spell correctly in the presence of those unworthy of my correct spelling. Not even god is worthy of my correct speling. He's not even worthy of my capitalization. <ie. possesses enoumous amount of arrogance>

Kaiser Wilhelm was. He thought everything about him was big. And boy did pride goeth before downfall with this fella.

Maddox.

Most arrogant in the world?

MunkeBrain. Only he could believe so wholeheartedly that we actually still listen to his bullshit.
Yet, everytime I post, there you are to attack me. I think you are secretly in love with me, and are cyberstalking me. Now, Go away.

Your thoughts?

Why, George W. Bush of course!

Nah... well, maybe. I don't know. On a completely different topic, I find it very hard to believe that Hawaii is tied in the presidential race!

Yet, everytime I post, there you are to attack me. I think you are secretly in love with me, and are cyberstalking me. Now, Go away.

Oh come on. You're like a gruesome auto accident. Disgusting and disturbing and yet we can't take our eyes off you.

Maddox.

If I'm thinking of the same Maddox then I'll second that.

Kerry IS arrogant(what politician isnt?)

I disagree. I can think of one or two politicians from my part of the world who I could not describe as arrogant - being quite humble etc.

Brian Clough.... football (soccer) fans will know who i mean...either that or Sir Alex Ferguson :D

I nominate G.W. Bush

... The idiot son of an asshole!

I think his daddy was slightly more arrogant.

when I think of arrgant, 3 names come to mind: Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolf Hitler, and Saddam hussein...surprise surprise...all dictators and war mongers...lol

At the risk of sounded anti-religous, I would have to say some religous leader or group. Although religion does have a place in society, in ancient times their rules were strict and they often got in the way of science, sometimes the church would force people to change their thoughts by using torture.
Thankfully, most of that has changed now.

He-man, "The Most Powerful Man In The Universe".

Bah!

In fiction it must be Grand Morf Tarkin from Star Wars IV. *lifting his half clenched fist to his jaw saying: "Give up now?, in our moment of triumph!" and then a back planet farm boy drops the missile in the flawed construction of the Death Star...BooooooooM. :p

That's Grand *Moff* you puny ignorant fool. Bah, why do I bother to chide you insect. You're beneath me I'm so obviously better than anyone in the world and fiction ever. So There.

In my view apart from the fact that I '
will vote for Bush my right to do so,
Kerry comes across to me as phoney
as someone that will say anything to get elected,
granted they all do that to an extent, but in Kerrys case
its seems so obvious.

Ancient History: Ghengis Khan

Modern History: Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Hillary Clinton, George W. Bush

No seriously! Think about it. Although there were many other candidates (God, Hitler, Stalin, Cheops, Ramesses III, Moses, King Knut etc. etc.), none of them fully wields the power today to send 80% of the world into raving insanities simply by existing and pretending to be nice to children. He does sod all! Take America, for example. Much of America claims to be god fearing, and yet at christmas they damn near forget about Jesus (who wasn't born then anyway, but i digress) and begin to worship some fat scandanvian bastard who pretends to read children's letters and leaves all of the work to the adults.

Take the UK! Not only does the same thing happen over the big pond on my side, but Christmas now stars in july and ends in march (go to England and have your eyes opened, it is HORRIFIC). He has infiltrated nations which are not even remotely christian and forced upon them his diabolical scheme to create one gian worship group, dedicated to the life of Saint Nick.

My God, he's also a saint! This is how he infiltrated the Church, by feigning saintliness in his mortal lifetime in order to be the controlling power behind congrgations. He then spread mistrust about the church (which is bull anyway) and wormed his way into screaming children's minds, in order to control the Adults!! We Must Stop This Fiend NOW!!!!

My ex husband!

Barney

God.
maybe not God, but all Fundamentalists in general.

Kaiser Wilhelm was pretty arogant, though so was Franz Joseph, just about all of the absolute monarchs were actually, especially hapsburg ones. *scoff*

My vote goes to Donald Trump. I saw that guy speak at this Illuminary Series thing last week and he couldn't shut up about himself. Also, he sometimes refers to himself in the third person.

Hillary Clinton, who totally overestimates her importance in the world.

Neo-conservatives, for dramatically overstating how important Hillary Clinton is to the world so they can justify bashing her.

Every Christian/repbulican on the face of the earth. They think whatever they want, god wants too. I hate those assholes.

In recent times probably Adolf Hitler (believed that could take on war on two fronts and actually believed that a race was superior to others) and George Bush Jnr (believed that almost the whole of the international community's opinion was irrelevant etc).
But, to be fair, history is full of arrogant people...

Neo-conservatives, for dramatically overstating how important Hillary Clinton is to the world so they can justify bashing her.
I don't know why Republicans hate Democrat women so much. HILLARY THE DEVIL!!! TERESA KERRY ABOMINATION OF BITCHES!!!

sheesh, I even saw someone go after Edward's wife.

The most I've seen from liberals is mild disdain for Laura Bush.

I think this question all depends on whether or not the arrogance is justified. For instance, Alexander the Great was certainly arrogant, but he had every right to be, conquering the known world and all. Same with Genghis Khan. Those kind of people earned the right to be arrogant. Now people like Custer? He was an arrogant bastard without any good reason to be so, but he probably was far less arrogant than Alexander or Temujin. So is this question about overall arrogance, or unjustified arrogance? I think this question needs to be answered before we can have a good debate about it.

And anyone who names a political figure from the past 15 years automatically gets disqualified for being a overly-partisan imbecile.

Brad Potts....

Complete asshole.

Jerry Rice.

Saddam Hussein.

Me.

Napoleon.

Stalin.

Jean le Kerr. (John Kerry)
What? he's even more arrogant than...

Charles de Gaulle!

You think so?
