Title: Heros (non-skate)
Post by: biggums mcgee on May 29, 2007, 06:05:49 PM
personallly I would have to go with Timothy Leary. After reading his autobiography (given to me by my high school health teacher) alot of his ideals changed my perceptions on everything. maybe it seems alittle cliche to some of you older dudes, I don't know..how about yourself?

Martin Luther King. He was getting spied on, attacked directly by the police, and eventually was assasinated, but he still led a revolution NON-VIOLENTLY and without going crazy. The man had balls, discipline, and a good heart. If I could ever be one tenth of the man he was I would consider my life a success.

I don't have heroes. I do however admire many people for their contributions to humanity.

MLK (Theotis said it best)
Malcolm X (his entire journey, especially after the Black Muslim split)
The Dead Prez (their song Hip-hop should be the anthem for the next American revolution)
Denis Diderot (look him up, you'll be stoked)
John Locke
anybody who ever fought the good fight basically....

Bono is a hypocrite cunt though. Preaching to me about saving Earth and what not, yet he evades Irish taxes that could be helping the very people he's trying to save.

I don't have any "heroes" per say but I do admire the efforts of Aung San Suu Kyi, Adolfo Pérez Esquivel and almost all Nobel Peace Laureates. Also James Nachtwey's work in war journalism.

My dad.  It may sound corny but he has worked his balls off to provide for me and my family and is just an awesome dude.  My 11th grade English teacher Mr. Madsen, dude was soooooo cool.  He's probably only 30 but has had a really interesting life, the guy lived in the woods for two years in college (really, lived in the woods, not a cabin), was a black belt in two martial arts, could bench like 500 pounds, and he just had one of the most open approaches to teaching I've experienced in my short life.  I could go on forever about how cool this guy is.

I don't give a fuck what he does, there are millions who are far richer and far more selfish. I just wish he'd snap out of the embarassing state of denial that lets him go on placating his ego whilst thinking he's part of the solution.  What a cunt.
The first step to working through a problem has to be identifieing its elements as independant wholes, unfortunately all Bono does is perpetuate the desperately hypocritical ideology that you/me/we can be both whole and part.
Ignorance is bliss I suppose.

that's cool then. I didn't know all of that. Trump clowned the hell out of her though. I'm sure she got in some good licks too. She's the perfect candidate to be the one to criticize politics  cause bout the time they get to blackballing her she'll already be done.

Of course it doesn't fucking make sense, that's the whole point of a paradox like the one you just highlighted. Paradoxes are usefull for pointing out that dialectical relationships such as good/bad don't make sense, not that they do. You've got Bono syndrome; you can't have it both ways dude.

well, for starters, he gave Roger Ebert cancer..........then later put him in remission and became good buddies with him. That is quite a feat. I cant think of anyone else that has done that. That pretty much justifies him being hero-worthy.

yup. He should be a hero to everyone from SF

Fuck Vincent Gallo. He's a worthless piece of shit. His ego is his biggest export, and all of his major claims to fame are for being near good artists. He never has done anything of his own that is half worth dealing with his pretentious bullshit. Fuck him.
Harvey Milk is cool though.
[close]

keep hating. He loves that.
[close]
Yeah. I know. He loves hinmself in a pathetic way. He LOVES attention, more than a dog. Its really pathetic. I met him when I was volunteering for a music festival and he just confirmed all of my assumptions about him. He is a pathetic, pathetic, human being. Seriously though, what has he done that is much better than mediocre? Brown Bunny sucked and buffalo 66 was mediocre. His music sucks.

[close]

well, for starters, he gave Roger Ebert cancer..........then later put him in remission and became good buddies with him. That is quite a feat. I cant think of anyone else that has done that. That pretty much justifies him being hero-worthy.
Are you talking about how Roger Ebert said one of his movies was worse than cancer and just panned the shit out of it, so your rebellious hero went and changed it so he would be ok with it? NO, thats not heroic, its really pathetic. Either be a cocky artist that won't mess with one of your original works no matter what somebody says about it, or be try to please critics like a little ass kissing bitch. Don't be a little ass kissing bitch who changes his art for the sake of critics but still acts like he is this rebellious badass who doesn't give a fuck. Dude is just the lamest person ever. He "cursed his colon," then buddied up to him after Ebert changed his review after the movie was revised. What a pussy!

the film that screened at Cannes (the screening Ebert and all the other critics who trashed the film attended) was a work-in-progress.  It was nowhere near finished. Gallo was contractually obligated to screen the film....even though he didnt want to. The finished cut - the one that made it to theaters and DVD- is the film Gallo intended for people to see. He didnt re-edit the film to please critics..he re-edited it because the film wasnt even finished...the film was still in post-production when it premiered. Ebert isnt the only person that ended up rewatching and loving the film (a lot of people agreed it was far better than initally reported). And the whole back and forth fewding between Ebert and him was partially a joke (on Gallo's part)

Besides, his sperm is worth a million bucks (not including shipping and handling). My sperm is nowhere near worth as much. That, again, is another reason why he's my hero.

My dad.  It may sound corny but he has worked his balls off to provide for me and my family and is just an awesome dude.  My 11th grade English teacher Mr. Madsen, dude was soooooo cool.  He's probably only 30 but has had a really interesting life, the guy lived in the woods for two years in college (really, lived in the woods, not a cabin), was a black belt in two martial arts, could bench like 500 pounds, and he just had one of the most open approaches to teaching I've experienced in my short life.  I could go on forever about how cool this guy is.
