G O B 3,516 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 George Washington. The American Cincinattus, without whom this Country would not exist. Overwhelming sentiment was for Him to become King, but He relinquished His commission and returned to His farm. It is a travesty that todays school children know all about MLK, and NOTHING about Washington! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Casp 119 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 In general I'm in league with Jpanzer. If I had to pick some though... Anne Bonnie and Mary Read, aka Pirate Mary Miyamoto Musashi is an obligatory role model for anyone remotely interested in combat. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimdigriz 580 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) It is a travesty that todays school children know all about MLK, and NOTHING about Washington! Only the second part is a travesty. It's interesting that generals/warriors are the heroes of most people here. On the other hand, Jesus is the hero of several also. I wonder whether he would think much about the accomplishments of generals? "Blessed are the peacemakers...". How about a guy like Anwar Sadat?

6500rpm 670 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 My dad, my brother, and all the teachers that have shown me how to work with my mind and hands over the years, be it formal or through working beside them. Without their time and understanding I would be nobody today. Most will never know the positive impact they've had on my life in terms of self discipline and craftsmanship. Many great men have been named, few probably had a dirrect impact on your life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't it great? I think if Christ were real, he'd pimp slap a violent, racist fool like Pershing. And he certainly wouldn't get very high marks on Judgement Day. As for my heroes: Henry David Thoreau Thomas Paine Martin Luther King Galileo And yeah, Jpanzer said it best. Edited October 13, 2010 by Classy Kalashnikov 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elvis christ 451 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Dave Thomas, the guy who started Wendy's. He always seemed like a nice guy. He died a few years ago, it was one of the only times I've been upset about someone I don't know dying. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimdigriz 580 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Eugene V. Debs I despise Debs' socialism, but I can appreciate him for his opposition to WW1, and his guts to say things that he knew would land him in prison. (I also admire President Harding for freeing Debs and all of Wilson's other political prisoners). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably about the same as he would of passing judgment on others... ya know... Jesus never embraced wickedness.... He did however did come for the sinners, not the (Self) righteous.....
