Isn't that what I said? "or achieve great things" "to many racing drivers are their heroes" I think we are making the same point, it is not solely to describe feats of bravery Cheers Tony |

Oh, maybe Well, in that case, I support your point of view totally, even
if I'm too lazy to comprehend it fully.

Self righteous for saying that some guy who has some talent at throwing a car around a track does not equal the hero status of a person who runs into a burning building to save dumbasses like you? Self righteous for saying that a person who held his months old child over some dangerous animals as a promotional stunt does not occupy the same stratus of heroism as a young Captain leading his men up the stairs of a strange house to kill people planning on blowing up vacation spots. ****wit? for saying that neither Senna nor Brock's actions come close to matching the heroism of a young Sgt throwing his body on a grenade to save his friends. And you are calling me names...? I had backed away from this conversation with an apology on Tony's suggestion. Consider that courtesy ****ed.

Look at who they were saving - a bunch of ****wits just like yourself. I'd say they were pretty stupid to risk their neck for the bunch of monopoly playing ****ants in that building anyway. Idiots - not heroes. Akin to Stevos moment of madness I guess. Good fun dwelling on the negative in the wake of someone's death, isn't it? > And you are calling me names...?

Your turn papapoodle you silly little french bitch. Why don't you go and polish the Statue of liberty that the french are so well represented by sweety? |

I'm still stuck on the rational atheist part. Seems like an oxymoron.
