Heroes

[Mattyboy]

The definition of hero has been so distorted, that all you need to do is fart on a windy day near a bunch of people. "OH!! He saved us from the wretched stench of his ass by farting in the direction of the wind!!" Let's give him the key to the city!!

What the **** ever.

 

[Lysol]

Man gets hit by car/survives = Hero these days!

 

[Scooter2112]

who are YOU or anyone else to say humans are more valuable than animals? that is just your BIASED opinion, its not a universal fact!


Occasionally but I try not to. But that's irrelevant anyways as I don't think much of human life as a whole and the only reason I haven't killed a bunch of people I hate/deserve it is because there are consequences if you get caught! That is the one and ONLY reason I haven't killed!
Killing to me is like cleaning up the shit that needs to be cleaned up/taking out the trash, it is nothing. There are plenty of people that deserve to die, they should be killed but they wont be, they will continue to live a privileged life and destroy destroy destroy!
No one will eradicate them as most people, like me, value my freedom more than anything else and wont risk it to make things better as a whole.

Everything that is fvcked on this planet, humans have done it! Humans are a pretty fvcking stupid bunch, with technological advancement, destruction always follows of the one world we have to live on.

How anyone can say human life has more value than a dogs life is beyond me as dogs have never committed mass genocide, robbed the poor, burnt down cities in a rain of fire like Dresden, Bombed the shit out of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in WWII etc etc.


Humanity needs a wake up call, and short of something catastrophic it wont happen. Society will continue to decline decade after decade into 100% total shit!

I've got this strange feeling that I'll be seeing you on the news in the future.

 

[Lysol]

Nah, I like my freedom and while I live in society I play by its rules. Put me in the woods OTOH....

Glad to hear it. So...knowing what you've just stated, do you still maintain that it's not a fact, but rather an opinion that most people have??

 

[Lysol]

Everything we ALL state are just opinions, aside from scientific facts...and even some of them are just bullshit too!

 

[Mule Train]

Heroes know who they are. It's the "MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION"

 

[H.E.L.Shane]

I don't discriminate between human and animal life! Both are of equal value.

Well... I eat animals... therefore, i put them a little lower on the "importance" scale that humans!!

However, I love my cat.. and yes my dumb ass would run into a burning house to save him.. but would that make me a hero.. no... just stupid.. or hungry

Yeah, but no dogs ever cured polio, flew to the moon, invented post it notes, wrote stairway to heaven, painted the mona lisa, etc. Also, dogs don't have souls, much as I wish they did....

 

[SneakySnakeLady]

To me, a hero is someone who influences you so much in your life that you strive to make them proud. They influence you to do the right thing, work hard, and make a difference

Did somebody not get enough attention from mommy?

 

[Kamen_Kaiju]

Interesting question.

My personal definition after a moment of thought would be that a Hero=Selfless Action.

Whether it's a soldier saving his buddies in an ambush.
A firefighter rushing into a burning buidling
or even something as mundane as a single mother going without buying clothes and shoes for herself for years so that her kids DO have new clothes and shoes.

For me it's all about selfless actions and deeds.

I see NONE of that in our Government or Congress. They're about as far from selfless as it gets.

Yeah, posting that kind of sh!t from within the USA might get you a visit from the FBI.

Just sayin'...

 

[Notorious BFG]

The term "Hero" has become so overused it has diminished it's original definition/purpose.
I can think of few people in the modern day that I would consider to be hero's. I think a better term to use would be perhaps "righteous" or "acted with disregard to his own welfare". The term hero has been tossed around more than a tiajuana whore and doesnt have much relevance in the modern day.

 

[Publius pro tem]

I'll add that today, many heroes are people who REALLY just did what most anybody in that situation woulda done.

If somebody is in peril, and you're standing RIGHT THERE, and able to do something?

THEN FxCKING DO IT!!!

The acknowledgement is nice, thanks are appreciated, but I still believe people are fundamentally good.
We do what is expected of us, if allowed to.


Hero is a whole 'nuther thing altogether.

I'd do the same for my dog. I'd also do the same for an old lady I don't know! But would I do it for a Lawyer? Nope. a Politician? Nope. A bunch of children in kindergarten? Yes.

Yeah, but no dogs ever cured polio, flew to the moon, invented post it notes, wrote stairway to heaven, painted the mona lisa, etc. Also, dogs don't have souls, much as I wish they did....

All that shit is irrelevant and we don't need it to survive. I can go out in the wilderness and survive with nothing. What good does people in another country goin' to the moon do for me? what good are post it notes?


BTW peoples, I'm not in the USA and we still have freedom of speech and no police state (think patriot act) laws so I can say what ever I want as I am not controlled by thought police!

Modern day America in becoming 1984 where 2+2=5!


BTW, if you have a soul dogs have souls as they have theory of mind and operate on much the same level as all mammals. Who told you dogs don't have souls? your pastor!?!?! Most (but not all) pastors and church leaders are full of shit and that is why you only need one church leader, JC!

I don't know there ....Travis....seems like that chemtrail stuff has a got to ya and what you might think is real is but an illusion........

Yes, the world is perfect, Kennedy wasn't assassinated by his own government, 911 was done by terrorists, operation Northwoods is just a lie, Guantánamo was a civil place, waterboarding brings out the truth, the prisions aren't flooded, there were WMDs in Iraq, the war in Iraq is legit, the Soviets were evil and "better dead than red", the patriot act only serves the people, the federal reserve is the peoples money, voting makes a difference, there's no alternative to fossil fuels, yadda yadda yadda.....



To live in a world and be oblivious to the grim reality in which we live must be pure bliss!
