"Paine was born in England and had a deep seated hatred of the monarchy and the aristocracy of Britain" . Just like me. England had it's own revolution in the 1640's and actually cut off the head of a king but then somehow blew it. Tom Paine where are you now when we need you more than ever. A great four minute potted history my friend...well done.

Tom Paine’s view on Christianity was not ‘kosher’. He was reputed to have once said his ‘mind is his religion’. Some Founding Fathers frowned on him because of his patently unorthodox beliefs. Long live the memory of Tom Paine

Great questions! 1. I think Americans have different interpretations and opinions on who all should be considered a "founding father" of America. Most agree Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin fall into that category. But I would also state that George Mason, John Hancock, John Dickenson, and yes...Thomas Paine should also be considered so. Differing views still remain on those, though. 2. To my limited knowledge, I do not believe he was. His main role was the editor of the Pennsylvania Magazine. So this would be like a major news pundit on one of the major news networks that give their opinions on evening segments. Those are rarely elected or appointed by government officials. Paine went to France after the war to contribute to the French Revolution. He was jailed there, came back to America, then died shortly thereafter. This is all according to my knowledge and views. I'm not an expert, just an 8th Grade U.S. history teacher. I could be wrong on some of these facts, so please check me on it!

@alister3733 You didn't even answer the question to why Thomas Paine should be considered a founding father. He definetly support the cause in the United States, and a writer of pamphlets that endorsed brighter spirits during the war, but to say he was a Founding Father is a stretch that is begging the question "what qualifies as a founding father?". He wasn't a general or a leader in any military capacity. Nor was he a politician or signer of the founding documents. What I previously said he wasn't is what all the other Founding Fathers were - High ranking generals, statesmen and signers/written contributors to the founding documents. So perhaps you can clarify the question that was never answered - In what way is Thomas Paine a founding father?

Couldn’t he just have been using the drum head as a table? That makes plenty of sense.

Let's not forget that Thomas Paine did in fact serve in the Revolutionary Way as well as finance it through all sales of Common Sense and the American Crises. Also Thomas Jefferson was under Thomas Paine's influence both with the writing of the Declaration of Independence and the Louisiana Purchase.

"Let's not forget that Thomas Paine did in fact serve in the Revolutionary Way" - As a clerk under Nathanial Greene. Not as your typical Militiaman or Regular. "as well as finance it through all sales of Common Sense" - You should know Thomas Paine made little profit in his pamphlets because he wanted them to be easily produced and accessible all across the land. You'll have to be specific in how he financed the Revolutionary War. "Also Thomas Jefferson was under Thomas Paine's influence both with the writing of the Declaration of Independence and the Louisiana Purchase" - Alright this is getting into pro-Paine fanatic propaganda. There's no proof to the second claim, and what can be said in the first claim is that it's conjectural in the least sense, and minimal in the second sense.

Did Paine write the Crisis papers while in the army? Maybe he did write them on the head of a drum by campfire light. Or is there evidence that this is “patently false”?

Thomas Paine was the only leading Founder of the United States who served in the military (as a personal assistant to General Nathanael Greene) and the government during the Revolution! He is the true Author of the American Declaration of Independence and not Thomas Jefferson as proven by computer linguistic analysis carried out by the University of Aberdeen U.K., his own deathbed confession as such and also a recent note discovered by John Adams. Both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson made a copy of the American declaration of Independence which are now at the Massachusetts Historical Society. John Adams: "A beginning perhaps- Original with Jefferson- Copied from original with T.P.'s Permission."

I was interested in international systems or institutions around global issues, especially climate change, and had a strong feeling that I should strengthen an interdisciplinary aspect of my study after I earned my first degree in law. GraSPP was the right place to meet this aspiration. GraSPP is one of the member departments that organized the “Interdisciplinary Education Program on Ocean Science and Policy” under the UTokyo Ocean Alliance. I benefited tremendously from this field-focused program which influenced my career path. The program provided me with diverse opportunities to understand ocean-related issues. Firstly, you can take courses in both the social and natural sciences, such as international maritime law and institution, and ocean engineering. Every single class was inspirational in allowing me to understand frontier studies in a classroom with students from different backgrounds, such as systems engineering and agricultural science. Secondly, I got a chance to do an internship at the Maritime Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) of Japan. The assignment of the internship was to suggest policy ideas for the promotion of green maritime transport within ASEAN. Lectures and interviews that I participated in during the internship on maritime administration and international cooperation enriched my insight in the policy-making and implementation process at the bureau. I remembered clearly the day when I gave my presentation to the division’s staff, including the division head. It was a precious time to share a working environment with bureaucrats who support the government. Lastly, another internship opportunity at the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) in Vienna was an iconic event I had in the final semester of my MPP degree. As an international public policy student, I have been interested in working for international organizations. Luckily, I got a place at the Strategic Planning and Quality Monitoring Division of UNIDO, where I could apply my perspective of public policy. Although it was too short to be fully involved in their long-term planning projects, three months were enough to see the structure of the UN organization, process of their activities for sustainable development, and relations among member states and organizations. Networking in a diverse and lively city enhanced my confidence in boosting my career beyond national level. Thanks to this series of opportunities, I am excited to start my first career at MLIT, where I can contribute to the sustainability of our development on earth. One great experience leads to another great experience. A new challenge that you find multiplies your potential. If I did not learn about the industrial sector in Vienna, I would not have been able to get a chance to visit Dubai for World Government Summit. Anything you experience at GraSPP within UTokyo can be connected to each other and advance your career and life in general. I am glad that GraSPP helped me to develop a certain core of study. They had a wide variety of courses throughout the year with professors who are not only from academia but also from the government and business sector. In addition, my international colleagues were awesome to study with. There is no doubt that the past two years as a “GraSPPer” made me ready for future achievements I would like to accomplish for society.

Teddy Roosevelt said Tom Paine was a “…filthy little atheist.” Patently false. He was tall for the time he lived at 5’-10”. He was fastidiously clean and did believe in one universal God, though not in any established religion. 'To do good is my religion,' says Paine.

Paine went to France and was invited to be on their national parliament. The parliament voted on whether to execute the King. Paine voted against executing the King because he'd always thought that the aristocracy should be deported, not executed. However, Paine did not speak a single word of French and found it very hard to get his thoughts across. He himself was almost executed, but because of several lucky events, he was released and sent back to America. In the US, he lived in poverty and only 6 people attended his funeral.

Thomas Paine served as an adjunct to General Nathanael Greene during the Revolution. He also wrote "Common Sense' and "The American Crisis" that served to rally the troops in their darkest hour. He was imprisoned by Robespierre and his cohorts for defending King Louis XVI from death not for being too radical, and almost was Guilloteined himself!

Wrong. Paine was a humanitarian at heart but tended toward certain societal provisions that sound like socialism. But don't get it twisted, he was madly against unchecked government power. Period. And socialism is nothing if not unabated government power.

What this misses out is that while writing these pamphlets he did not fight. He lived very well off of them because they were not free. When he went to France, it was his idea in his pamphlets, to get rid of the aristocrats completely, not just to throw them out of France. In this way he was indirectly responsible for the death of thousands. Including children who were also sent to the guillotine. In the end He was imprisoned by the French for his crimes. If he came back to England he would have been hailed as a traitor. It was the Americans who eventually arranged for him to be released and to live in America. This man lived in a big fancy house in America. With servants. It’s still there. At his funeral there were only 9 people. He was not hailed as some kind of hero. He didn’t like royalty etc having wealth, power, but had it himself.

He was imprisoned for not being radical and vengeful like the French who wanted to and eventually did murder their king. His house was quaint and simple, not big. He never had servants. And he was deemed a pariah you screwball, not a hero. I can't believe your deranged comment. Get your facts straight or please never comment anywhere again.
