Who do you idolize? Why?
My heros, in approximate (I'm listing them as I think of them, some are hard to choose which is better) order of awesome are:
Maddox
The guy who writes all those articles. He doesn't take shit from people and has a high sense of moral. Plus he's a pirate. He's also hilarious, and sophisticatedly so.
Raine Maida
Best singer ever. Damn he rocks.
Ben Stiller
I love his acting, he has a lot of talent. One of the funniest actors I've seen.
Leslie Neilson
This man is greatness, has done a lot of funny things in his career. Also an actor.
Tom Green
He's kind of sold out now, so I don't like him as much but he represents that it is possible for goofs from Ottawa to make it big. He's also one incredibly funny guy. Not only has Hollywood given him cancer literally, I think it's also poisoned some of his views. Still, I maintain high respect for him.
Grrrr...
Pro StarCraft player, in my opinion the best one... he's currently reitred I think. Testie and Yosh are pretty great too.
Manifesto7
I love his RWA's, he's been incredibly devoted to the StarCraft community. No longer makes RWA's, or maintains a site due to intense school load, and life in general.
thaevilhippie@uswest
She was just incredibly cool. We had a lot of great laughs, some of the funniest jokes I've ever made were only possible because of her sense of humour. We ruled Blizzard Chat for years XD Too bad she had to go and get a life.
Those are my heros, who are yours, please share. I'd prefer it if there wern't any dumb things like I'm my hero ('cause if anyones self absorbed, it's me).
*braces himself for suckups
[center]Cobain.
Don't know him? Look him up, you'll get it.
Teh Bun-Bun.
'Nuff said.[/center]

the better, and for being a great musically inclined artist.[/center]

Why?
I doubt anyone wants to read a list of names. Not everyone will even know who your heros are, please provide a breif description or at least why you like them. I'm leading by example ;D
Amilio Aguinaldo - After being exiled from the Philippines, he returns back to his country and helps U.S. troops capture parts of the islands. Then leads a rebellion that drives the Americans away, and gets elected president. A total heroic badass.
Richard Feynman - A scientist who inspired many great ideas, and who remains not well known. He basically developed quantum mechanics today. Genuis in all forms.
Vasek Klouda - The greatest footbag champion of all time, he won the world footbag championships at the age of 14, competing against people twice his age. Psycho crazy stunt guy.
My older sister- she's just really amazing. She's really nice and funny and smart and perky and makes me smile
Other than that, I find idolization futile. Follow your own path...
and Cobain? I won't comment.
not in any specific order, but here it is
Chris Rock: I guess you could say he's the world's biggest racist, yet he gets away with it. One of the funniest men ever.
Reggie Miller: One of the best basketball players of all time. He had been my idol since i was like... 6 years old. I've learned so much on the basketball court because of him.
Dave Chappelle: Another person that's funny as
.
Michelle: She's like 30 or something, and she is very very attractive with a nice rack. Over the years I've seen so much more than I should have seeing her work in her yard by bending over and planting flowers and whatnot in her cleavage-bearing outfits.
Marshall Mathers: He tought me to stand up and not let people say shit, which is probably why I have been in many fights, many times resulting in my ass being beat.

He's a cocky asshole, i hate him

Awwww no. Now no one else will say who their heros are because they worship you. Seriously, no one follows their heros paths... know why? No one is in exactly the same position of their hero. Role models are good, I don't copy all their jokes and repeat them like a broken record, I make my own with my own friends. I don't plan to be an entertainer.
Grrrr... is just an excellent player. You don't know him, so you can shut up =D
In short, don't be a negative Nancy, be a positive Peter, and start shit like that in a PM.
PS: Be happy I didn't say mean things about your sister ;D
PsychoTemplar: One of the funniest people I know on SEN. His cockiness makes me crack up every time.
FireKame: Just kidding.
Yoshers: Does what he says. Has tons and tons of integrity...A great friend, he's very loyal.
...Not afraid to take actions that aren't easy for him for the good of others.
Wesmic: Acts just like my friends at school. If you can't guess what kind of friends I have at school, then you need a checkup.
donwano: See
Wesmic.
Eh, I'll add to this list later.
ADDITION:
Chu: fr33king |337. Chu is one of the funniest people I know, him and I love to make pranks on SEN together. (Yoshi's picture incident, copying Moose's signature etc.)
Deathknight: Best Uberena player, ever.
Mini Moose 2707: Makes some of the funnest maps ever. Other than gameplay, what else matters?
Tuxy: Because everyone else does.
Bun-Bun: What's not to idolize about a bunny with a switchblade?
Riff: Let me check my notes
Okay okay, so I don't have any real idols. Well, there is...
LunC: Created "The Way" (http://www.crestfallen.us) series of RPG. Virtually by himself. One of the most amazing RPGs I've ever played.
Not my idols, since my only idol is myself, but some pretty good people that need recognition.
Chris Rock - What wesmic said.
Captain Will - One of the best writters and thinkers that I've ever known
Mini Moose 2707 - The person who has maintained his personal information a secret from the internet for such a long time.
Osama Bin Laden- Finally made the US realize that they weren't all that great
Some random Kid - He said have a good meal to me at Denny's and we had never seen each other in our lives

I guess I am, because after reading that first sentence, and before reading the last one I actually thought you were complimenting me.
Sorry to flame, but I'd like to get you guys on the right track...
Hero: A person noted for special achievement in a particular field.
Idol: An image used as an object of worship.
This doesn't mean you're absolutly obsessed with them, or that you want to be just like them. You like them for what they've done is the jist. I was hoping we wouldn't get lists of SEN members, oh well.
Lisk, I don't want a list of names. Future posters, please explain why. To rectify this, I'll put a little more detail into my own heros.
That kid probably poisoned your meal.
ADDITION:
And I know that you didn't want SEN member lists, but I don't give a damn about anyone in the media. Except Stifler. You know, American Pie.
I'm not the media, I wasn't refering to you, you gave reasons... some people just don't idolize well known people. It's cool.
Wow, People look to silly people... What i mean is people looknig up to Chu, Dk, just cos they cool And stuff, Whats up with that? They anit heros, Just like any other people in the world.
I look up to my uncle, Why? His a pro rugby player... And since i am heading into that area.. I look up to him.
Whats up with that? Your uncle is just like any other person in the world.
You forgot to put me on the lists there. Im sure you didnt have to, because its so obvious that you do...
(dude, im just kidding. maybeh...)

Least it has meaning than tha just cos "Your funny", Or "cool"
There are stupid reasons.
Why is it so bad to look up to someone because they make you laugh or they are skilled at something?
Thats stupid, Anyone can have skills or could make you laugh... SO you look up to someone who makes you, Laugh... Fcuk a do a do.
If that was the case i would look up to half the people of the world. At least if your goning to look up to somone least make it some one wroth while... Not just some ramdom person who makes you laugh or has a skill for making a map for a stupid game...
I think they're more like "I wanna do that as good as him one day..." not "OMGMGOMGOMG HES SO GOOD AT THAT HES MY IDOL!!!"
So then once again, why do you look up to your uncle? All he does is play a game. Tons of people play rugby, why do you look up to your uncle and not any other pro rugby player?
