EDIT: I only searched in "Off Topic", should've looked in all forums.

[Anubis]

does wilson have one? No so theres no point

 

[Sukhoi]

It is absolutely disguisting they want to replace Roosevelt with Reagan. :disgust::disgust::disgust::disgust::disgust:

WTF happened to the decent disgust icon? That one looks like rolling eyes.

negative. reagans doesn't sound as badass as jacksons, when discussing currency with my thugs.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

Hell no. I could understand a commerative currency for example, but the replacement of that currency completely. Sorry. Would open a whole new bag of chips. :/

 

[Cashmoney995]

How about just a special release of a coin or something. The bills should remain for our founding fathers.

They could put Clinton on pennies, because that's all he's worth to me, personally.

The dime idea they had, where half of them have Reagan and half are unchanged for a limited print cycle, is as far as I'd be willing to take it. But I dunno if he even deserves that.

That's funny! Thanks

I'd have to say IF they were to pick one of those 3, then the only one that I would even consider would be Alexander Hamilton, mostly because he wasn't a president AND he got his @ss kicked by Aaron Burr. From what I've read, Burr felt that Hamilton had slandered his name and cost him several elections. After being frustrated over and over, he finally demanded a duel with Hamilton, who accepted.

The rest:

Alexander Hamilton died two days later at the age of 49. Hamilton?s supporters immediately launched a propaganda offensive against Aaron Burr. They claimed that Alexander Hamilton was personally opposed to the practice of dueling, and had only agreed to fight to avoid the appearance of cowardice. A letter that Hamilton had written was published, in which he told his friends that he would not fire upon Burr, whatever the consequences to himself, ?thus giving a double opportunity to Col. Burr to pause and reflect.? Noting that Hamilton had intended to ?throw away? his first shot, his mourning supporters claimed that he had intentionally fired in the air. Burr dismissed this claim as ?a contemptible disclosure if true.?

On August 2, a New York coroner formally accused the Vice-president of murder, as did a New Jersey court a few days later.

In the days immediately following the duel, Aaron Burr remained in seclusion. He then secretly left New York to escape the notoriety brought on by his killing of Hamilton.

Despite his status as an accused murderer, Burr was allowed to complete his term as Vice-President, which ended in March, 1805. Then, with warrants for his arrest still out in New York and New Jersey, he traveled to the western territories of the United States, where he masterminded a scheme to seize control of the Louisiana Territory and Mexico, apparently with the goal of setting up his own independent country. Arrested and tried for this conspiracy in 1807, Burr was acquitted for lack of evidence. He continued to drift through the southern United States and Europe for the next 32 years. As his political career faded from public memory, he remained notorious as ?the man who killed Alexander Hamilton.? He died in 1836, at the age of 80.

So, what do I gather from this? I gather that Alexander Hamilton may have deserved Aaron Burr's wrath, and wouldn't it kinda be nice if society supported duels. You know, you talk smack, well now you have to back it up. Hopefully it would cause people to think before they speak.

Right now no. Maybe in 50 years.

If anyone they should get rid of FDR - the guy that brought us social security. What a great guy.

While I agree FDR didn't have the forsight for SS, he had no idea how much of a population boom there would be after the war. And for what it's worth, FDR made up for it by saving this country's ass.

If they replace anyone, hopefully it'll be Jackson. That would be the most fitting.
