That's a poor analogy, we are certainly capable of beating Man Utd, which is more than 99.9% of football teams in this country can say.

Tom_NUFC 0 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I think that these books have changed the world as well. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels - The Communist Manifesto (1848) Adolf Hitler - Mein Kampf (1925 - Volume 1, 1926 - Volume 2) Admitedly, perhaps not for the better (although the former can be either for better or worse, or even a bit of both, which is how I feel about it.) But they both changed the world massively and had massive impacts on the course of the twentieth century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but that implementation resulted in the biggest war of all time. I'd say that's quite a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
