It's that time of year again. Memorial Day always brings about the most headlines with the word "hero" emblazoned. Only recently, however, have I bothered to figure out what makes a hero a hero to me.
I used to think that it was someone who prevented another from dying either directly or indirectly. The problem with that is that I consider my mother a hero, mostly because she refrained from killing me when I was a teenager, but also because she overcame terrible odds and raised three really great people. I also consider my foster mother a hero, because she gave so much of herself to help us while getting nothing in return.
So my definition of hero has had to change. Now, I'd say that a hero is someone who gives of themselves to help another while not considering a return on that investment. A hero may get something for doing what they do, but that's not what drives them to help.
How about you? :)
A demi-God, a Branch of Ares.
Ed Anger is my hero. He knows why.
A person who assumes substantial risk for the benefit of others.
Someone who does something because it is right despite great personal peril or disadvantages; One need not to be a warrior to be a hero. <_<
Anyone who serves in the military. Even the Air Force.
Anyone who has superhuman powers and uses them to fight crime.
Someone who by demonstrating superior moral or physical courage inspires such courage in others who are aspiring towards the same beneficial end.

Ditch the tomato and the onions, then yes.
Ironically I had one of them in Cleveland, too (sans onions). I dub Cleveland "OSSUM SANDWICH SHITHOLE CITY".

My ancestors slaughtered jews on their way to sack constantinopel, your's prostrated themselves before swarthy musselmans.
Besides, my ancestors did conquer many wolds, quite a many wolds (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wolds).
Your ancestors can suck my dick.
I have fed more muselmans to the worms than your precious ancestors ever did.
Regardless, the point if you have failed your ancestors.
Doesn't matter how good they were at sacking and raping undefended villages.
You cannot match their glory. You failed them.

Much in the same way Rainman needs his fish sticks, Assburger Syndrome Timmay needs his cheese. Retards of a feather.
I've had feta on a gyro before and it's pretty good, but the gyro is a perfectly fine sandwich without feta.

Yes, feta is appropriate. It's Timmay's slab o' cheddar that's not.
Tim is wrong but The no Tomatoes & Onions crowd is even wronger.
Heresy!
Heresy is my favorite candy bar.

I would've thought someone as well traveled as you would be able to tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese, but apparently not?
