Who do you admire?

[repiV]

I figure this should be an interesting topic. You can tell a lot about a person by their idols.

For me I'd have to say Richard Branson, Donald Trump, Winston Churchill, Martin Luther King and Douglas Bader.

 

[Darkwolf]

Geoffrey Payne, James Morrison, David Elton and knghenry...

>.>

*flees*

 

[ComradeBadger]

Morrissey is the first that springs to mind for me, but theres more

 

[Gargantou]

Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili.

 

[repiV]

knghenry...interesting choice.

 

[Majestic XII]

Miyamoto and Tim Schafer.

A mix between those two would be the best thing ever

 

[Lucid]

I admire no one.

For no one deserves my admiration.
*cuts wrists* D:

 

[Solaris]

The Unkown rebel.

I can't belive you admire Winston Churchil, the man was evil, I'd punch him in a secound. For example, what he said about gassing the Kurds in Iraq:
"I am strongly in favor of using poisoned gas against uncivilized tribes,"

and:
"I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."

I can't believe my eyes, people hate winston churchill? WHY? He was a great man.

Others for me are General. George S. Patton (loved his passion & his personality), Teddy Roosevelt (you gotta love his firey nature, it makes him a great leader) , F.D.R (the speech plus getting U.S out of the great deppression), Ronald Reagan (you know why), Ike, "the desert fox" Erwin Rommel, & Gabe Newell.

I will try to think of more

Did you read my post?
He was a racist, who regarding Kurds as inferior and held no objection to Gassing civillian tribesmen to death.

 

[15357]

Yeah, well, "Every jade marble has it's scratches."

Yes he may have done that, but with out him & his friendship with FDR plus his speech that told fellow britians to never give up to tyrant dictators like Hitler & he was a man that hated communism & stalin "We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight in the fields, and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We shall never give up, we shall never surrender!" Speech about Dunkirk given in House of Commons June 4, 1940.

another speech, "This is a war of the unknown warriors; but let all strive without failing in faith or in duty, and the dark curse of Hitler will be lifted from our age." Broadcast on the BBC, July 14, 1940.

 

[MiccyNarc]

^^ Dumbass who buys propaganda.


Winston Churchill was a racist who hated the Germans as a race, making him as bad as Hitler in that regard. Churchill authorized the Dresden bombing, making him responsible for the killings of hundreds of thousands of German civilians (in other words, men women and children who didn't want to fight and just wanted to live their own lives)

 

[Evo]

Churchill was pretty much just good at inspiring the people of Britain in the face of adversity, he wasn't an almighty great man

Though if you think about it, he was really a US Commando who fell in love with Princess Elizabeth and kicked Nazi butt!

 

[function9]

Tollbooth Willie! Oh, and Deon Warwick.

 

[Remus]

I admire Redneck

BTW Evo, shouldn't you have said that you admire Cain?

Well Jesus doesn't count because he didn't really exist, some people are having doubts abut Gabe too for that matter...

 

[SpotEnemyBoats]

Oh he did exisit, according to the history books.

 

[kirovman]

Yeah, he did exist. I read that Gabe led the Spartans into Troy.

 

[tehsolace]

My dad. Wisest and hardest working person I know, and I want to be just like him.

 

[Ennui]

Very few scholars or historians, regardless of their religious affiliation, fail to acknowledge that Jesus did exist.

 

[Absinthe]

Oh he did exisit, according to the history books.

There's absolutely no conclusive evidence that he did.

There is no other historical figure with as little evidence supporting its existence yet so still holds so much faith.

 

[Remus]

Thread successfully derailed, mission accomplished!:E

P.S. It was only a joke dudes :upstare:. Although there is little evidence of his existence. One of these is a recently discovered rectangular artifact with a lambda symbol on it that shot up from a steam vent in Jerusalem.

 

[Aenama]

Well.....I think he did exist,but he was just one of those plain crazy people If you know what I mean.

 

[Dynasty]

Andy McNab

Brandon Boyd
Hideo Kojima (come on, hes amazing)
Margaret Thatcher

But ultimately:
My Dad.

I know of no-one else that works as hard as he does. Hes in a different country every fortnight for god sake...

 

[SpotEnemyBoats]

Quite the contrary, there is evidence of his exisitence; such as the spear he was stabed with stained with his blood (many rulers have stolen this over the ages including Hitler & it is said who ever controls with thing has divine power which is just tall tales), the nails he was nailed to the cross with, & the cross itself. There was even a special on the history channel (I 3> that channel) "In the footsteps of Jesus."

Also that tree that where he prayed at just before his cature from the romans, & that tree is still standing even to this day. Thats a very old tree.

 

[Solaris]

Andy Mcnab lol.

I read a book and watched the TV show 'the real bravo two zero'. Apperntly, the bit where he said he and his freinds took out 4 APC's of lik 12 men each, it was just an old man, with a 60year old rifle shooting it in the sky.

If you add up all the kills Mcnab claims to have made in the book, it comes to like 300. Shame he got captured, he could have won the war himself.
