    Well in my OG post I said a hero fights the common enemy, so I do include certain military figures.

    FreeMe mentioned about saving people from burning, well my grandfather won the first class iron Cross for pulling his team out of burning tanks while being directly shot at. I can classify him as a hero because there was an enemy, the Ruskis ;)

    Cuomo is a fuck up. He's on tv a lot because his state was hit the worst by COVID, in no small part because of his failures to respond. Having lots of press conferences does not make you a hero.

    If you want to anoint a Democratic Governor a hero of the COVID crisis, can't you at least pick Newsom?

    It was the theme song to a segment bit on a football show in Australia. It was just really catchy.

    I remember in high school everyone would be singing it on Friday morning after the show was aired on Thursday night.

    The segment showed players from the past. :)

    This guy too, although no one knows who he is

    Sir Andrew Wiles

    [​IMG]


    Many go on about other famous smart people that, most of whom just steal a bunch of other people's work

    But can't think of anyone else that did such a complex proof all by themselves that's more impressive than Wiles

    actually it was their logic in deciding where to obstruct their passage.
     
  17. but the Persion invasion didn't end at Thermopylae

    and it didn't stop them from marching on Athens

    it merely bought the Athenians time

    or at you making reference to Salamis ?

    despite the military tacticians & reasoning powers

    would you no agree that is was envisaged by the face of independence, of pride, of freedom ? that the Spirit is precisely what lent momentum to the mind to act tactically in men such as Themistocles ?

    these are all factors. no one factor is ever completely deciding.
     
  19. but my point is that behind all factors there is a Spirit
    that this Spirit manifests in the minds of Men who decide those factors
    that it may manifest as desire
    desire for Freedom and Independence being the case here
