Godzilla

"Ideal" Soviet Worker vs Rags-to-richs capitalist

well then...XD

They did fight in the third Godzilla movie. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Kong_vs._Godzilla

King Kong won.

Go-Go-Go Godzilla. @airborne since the USSR is now gone, we know the out come, and not a few of the first have become the later. The Asian facesless masses verse the American individualist.

OK, how about Gehngis Khan (KHAAAAAAAANNNN!!!) vs. Der Fuhrer himself, Hitler?

Who's BAD(der?)

Khan for sure, he came up against and destroyed some of the most powerful and rich people of the time, and he humbled the virtually unstoppable muslim hordes with a horde of his own, and his descendents subjegated more of the world than any other people, the Russians, Chinese, and Muslims, and he is the progenitor for the Mughals, dont fuck with him. Hitler destroyed Europe with an already angry and fearsome people, his enemies were weak, timid and fractured, and he lost because he believed superstition and didnt supply his Russian troops. His thousand year empire didnt even last 20
Khan for sure

Traditionally Germany is viewed as part of the east in europe.
Obivous Khan because he WON it was his successours that led to the end of the empire

tertis or Pacman?

Hmmm... Tetris or Pacman...

I can never figure OUT TETRIS! LOL! I LOVE all the oldie games (and aside from Mario/Link/.Baseball/Football I almost universally take oldies over today 1980s and 1990s games ROCK!) and love puzzlers...

But for some reason, even with all the puzzles i do, tetris i can enver figure out! lol

That and the incurable Pacman Fever that runs inside so many of us... the master muncher of dots wins here for me!

Speaking of baeball, the timehonored question...

Hammerin' Hank Aaron (and Babe Ruth, to make it interesting) vs. Sadaharu Oh, JAPAN'S Home Run King!

(Barry Bonds... go to hell.)

Anyway, Oh actually ahs Aaron beat 868-755 (with ruth at 714) BUT:

-Ruth was a (AMAZING) pitcher the first five years of his career... how many HRs did that cost the Babe? Not to mention he started those years in the Dead Ball Era, so...
-Aaron has less than Oh, but had FAR better pitchers (Steve Carlton, my Mets' own Tom Terrific Mr. Seaver, the scary good and just plain scary Bob Gibson, Juan Marichal, and of course, the BEST Jewish athelete ever and one of the top 5 best all-time starting pitchers, Sandy Koufax)
-Oh has the lead, but had lesser pitching... but then, was his training MLB caliber?

So, the Bambino vs. Hammerin' Hank vs. OH! ...fifty pitches from the now-dead Yankee Stadium as it was in Ruth's day, Home Run Derby style... who wins this one?

I would say Khan would win. but i dont know if thats a lagit mach up.

I also vote for Khan, but ya, is Hitler really a fair match-up? Surely Alexander, Cyrus (Yes I claim Cyrus for the West, Napoleon, Caesar, &c. would be better?

why do you claim Cyrus for the west. Do you give the whole Middle East to the west

Cyrus was East. The whole Greek, Persian conflict was West verse East.

I know Cyrus was in the East. But stukus claimed cyrus in the west.
And if we want to go persian conflict: Alexander vs Darius I

How about we go for the gold, Clash of Conquerors...

From the East, the Terror of the Terraces, Sweeping from the Steppes, master of Asia, KHAN!

And from the West, never losing a battle, from Greece to the gates of East India, master of the Hellenistic World, ALAEXANDER!

Alexander/Khan?

I say ALEXANDER (he never lost and I can't see him losing here, not against cavalry of all things... even the speed and missile ability of the horse archers he'd find a way to counter, he was Alexander the GREAT!)

Its hard to say, both were great tacticians. It depends on how well Alexander's cavalry could stand up against the horse archers

Well it seems weird to consider Persia and Mongolia part of the same group, but not Persia and Ancient Greece.

well i consider persia part of the east. How do you split east and west

Exactly. Well, Plutarch includes at least one Persian in his Parallel Lives. I guess my division would be The West includes the cultural descents of the Tigris, Euphrates, and Nile cultures, as well as Greece and Rome, while The East includes the cultural descendents of the Indian and Chinese cultures. I mean, my Western Civ classes always started in the Fertile Crescent.

I see. You make a very good point. Its hard to say, because the Middle East has been a culture of Its own. Though some may believe that all people started from the Middle East, so isn't everyone relevant to each other.
