But sadly he's losing his memory. I think there is enough information on his life to salvage and make a nice book out of. There's a picture of him sitting behind Hitler and shaking hands with Reinhard Haydrich (head of the Sicherheitsdeinst, literally nazi special forces, they guy who devised the plan for the top-secret "jewish question". ), unfortunately, my great uncle had nothing to do with his death, some clever Czech's took care of his sorry ass. My great uncle apparently stormed a bunker in the last days of the war and secured some files from burning that went to the Nuremberg courts. klingsor 09-21-2003, 11:59 AM Punk!

Yes, that's true of course - but one of the best ways to become a better "yourself" is to look at the ways people whose values you admire have lived their lives, learn the lessons that their lives offer, and let those examples shape your own approach to life. There's nothing wrong with standing on the shoulders of people you respect and admire. jfont 09-21-2003, 07:20 PM Yes, that's true of course - but one of the best ways to become a better "yourself" is to look at the ways people whose values you admire have lived their lives, learn the lessons that their lives offer, and let those examples shape your own approach to life.

I have never watched either of them play unless it was on ESPN Classic or a random highlight, but I was always reminded of their greatness by my grandfather. I grew up mimicking the swing playing ball in the road and diving through the air on the backyard pond. When I think more of it, my hero is my grandfather. He played such a huge part in my life growing up, and has always been there to support me in any decision I have made. He taught me just about everything I needed to know about sports and life, and through the years he has been my own personal superfan. When he had a heart attack last fall, it was the scariest moment I've ever encountered. Until then I never realized that one day he wouldn't be around.

There's nothing wrong with standing on the shoulders of people you respect and admire. I agree, and that's why I don't believe in heroes. Everyone is flawed, and so I don't desire to model myself after flaws, as I am invariably flawed anyway, so I admire a wide variety of people for their possitive traits. monkey_00* 09-22-2003, 10:36 AM LOL bud...

DaaaaB's 08-13-2004, 08:23 AM I don't think I have any real heroes although there is people I look up to mainly my parents. There is many athletes that I idolized but I consider that to be different from being my hero. There is also many people in history whom I consider to be true heroes although not my hero specifically. One person who recently became a true hero and maybe the bravest man on earth is Pat Tillman. He turned down millions of dollars to play football so he could serve his country in a war and then died fighting for this cause. He must have been one amazing person. I'd bet 99.9% of the world wouldn't do what he did. Everytime I think about what he did it makes me realize that there are a lot more important things going on in the world and I wish I was a tenth as brave as he was. R.I.P.

You can read about him: http://errolmorris.com/main.php "I like the idea of making films about ostensibly nothing," Morris told The New Yorker's Mark Singer. "That's what all my movies are about. That and the idea that we're in a position of certainty, truth, infallible knowledge, when actually we're just a bunch of apes running around." Karl Pilkington 08-13-2004, 08:53 AM My Nonno (Grandfather)...the wisest man ever. He's had so many incredible experiences in his life; I could listen to him talk for ever. Also he's 80 and he still does hard core construction work. Everything he does is done amazingly. He makes the best pasta in Ontario too IMO.. :bow: Darz 08-13-2004, 08:56 AM Don't have any hero's but the people I most admire are my older bro (my younger bro is cool as well, but you can't look up to a younger brother), my father, my uncle and my gone but never forgotted grandfather. These are the people I try to live up to, but very rarely do!!! I guess the real hero's in my life are my son and daughter.

Well I would think most people here who have kids understand how kids can sort of ground you in the things you do and the way you think. I had kids very early in life (I was 20 when I first became a father) and at the time I wasn't exactly on the path to perfection, but the first time I held my son, he looked into my eyes, and I looked into his and the entire world changed that second. The way I looked at things, and the way I thought about things changed instantly. It was easily the most amazing feeling I have ever felt in my entire life!!! My son has made me so proud in his 13 years (13 1/2 to be exact) on this planet, when I think about him, I feel I can hold my head high, without him, well I don't know. Then just over 3 years later, I became a father again, this time having a daughter. There is something different about having a daugther, and I'm not saying it is better or worse than having a son (both are great), just really, really different. The best way I have heard it put is, 'When you have a son, you become a dad, when you have a daughter you become a daddy', and being a daddy is at times the best and at times scares the hell out of me. My son is now 13 (starting high school this fall) and has had a few different girlfriends the past year, and I think it is cute, and don't worry about it too much (I assume that will change in a year or two, hopefully longer, when s-e-x becomes an issue) but the thought of my daughter in the same situation can literally make me sick. I don't think i'm going to handle the teenage years of my daughter that well. Hopefully, I can, but it really really scares me. I am amazingly scared that one day I might not be her daddy, who right now is the most important male in her life. (as I typed this I looked down to a pic of my daughter just above my keyboard and got all choked up. I would imagine anyone with a ten year old daughter knows how I feel). jfont 08-13-2004, 10:00 AM thanks for sharing that darz... :handclap: Zodiac 08-13-2004, 11:47 AM Well I would think most people here who have kids understand how kids can sort of ground you in the things you do and the way you think.
