tutsiwarrior Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) I admire the character 'Howard', the old miner from the film Treasure of the Sierra Madre who by an act of kindness became trusted and admired and never had to work again...inna hammock fed with turkey, watermelon and tequila by beautiful gurls...to a wonderful music score by Max Steiner...

lazygourmet Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 "Tintin"... because I learned how to read French by following his adventures. As well, my grandfather and my dad collected all the 1st editions signed by Herge -the master himself- which are nowadays much more valuable than gold.

rgs2001uk Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 George Galloway. I may not agree with his political views, I may not like his abrupt style, I do however admire the way he made fools of the American Senate committee in their own backyard.

I may not agree with his political views, I may not like his abrupt style, I do however admire the way he made fools of the American Senate committee in their own backyard. I'm with you on that one, not only is he courageous but he mirrors my feelings on the same issues...he doesn't like western imperialists and bullies and neither do I... when I was a young man Che Guevara and Jack Kerouac come to mind...but Che came to grief when he lost support from the Bolivian CP and should have withdrawn; his idealistic faith in 'the people' led to his demise...and 'ol Jack, well, he just drank too much and condemned the 'unpatriotic' counterculture before his death in 1969...

dean999 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Hitler. I don't agree with what he did but you've got to admire his leadership. How does someone get so many people to do what they did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaiChai Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Jeremy Clarkson for making a career out of being an arsh*le. Tim Berners-Lee for inventing the web so I have something to do all day while sitting at work doing nothing. Linus Tovalds for inventing Linux and probably responsible for the whole free software movement. Without this we would not have Andriod, the Iphone, Ipad and a raft of other gadgets we can't live without. Whoever invented telly (it was so long ago), so we have something to do in the evenings when its cold and miserable.

Abhisit for trying to make honest people out of Thai politicians? Noo lek at my condo for sorting out all the problems that happen and keeping everything honest and straight (she is the office manager).
