Happy Face 29 Posted February 11, 2007 Author 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. Not sure the ideas in Mein Kampf made a difference to the world since the only bloke to implement them was the bloke that wrote it. Yeah, but that implementation resulted in the biggest war of all time. I'd say that's quite a difference. Aye, Hitler made a difference. Not his book.

Maybe, but Mein Kampf certainly contributed to the popularity of the Nazi party. Do you honestly think the biggest war of all time is more important than football? I'm not sure you can compare the two though. They both had MASSIVE impacts on the world in very different ways. The FA rules book is justified because Football is the most popular sport in the world. It is probably the world's true global sport, and has made a huge social and cultural impact. People can argue 'it's only a sport', but its a sport in which people of all different nationalities, races, religions, cultures etc all have in common, and that can be a very very powerful thing.

Almost as if you had another ITV programme in mind that was quite good 7 years ago...failing to see what it could possibly be, since that channel's been shite for pretty much most of my adult life.
