    I just wanna know which people in the world you really admire? i'd especially like to know some of the erm...higher up ppl on the board (BTA, Darien, Tal, Egg etc)

    I admire Laurance Olivier, what a great performance this guy would give. I really respect this actor - all the parts he plays are absolutely awesome.

    There are also some wrestlers I really admire: Ric Flair and Roddy piper are the two that instantly spring to mind. And, althugh I give him a lot of s***, I also respect Hulk Hogan. But not THAT much :)


    So how about you guys??

    I don't know why but the first two that come in mind now are Dave Murray and John Petrucci. Now, if you happen not to know them it's your loss :)

    OK, that was spamming. Sorry if it wasn't appropriate Tal.

    My idol would be my dad. He has to be the most patient and tolerant person I've ever met in my life. Not to mention one of the most hard-working

    In no particular order;

    Zach de la Rocha - (former) frontman of Rage Against the Machine. Has a great, unique voice.

    Tom Morello - Guitarist from Rage Against the Machine. Possibly the best in the rock industry today (don't flame me for this :D)

    Chino Moreno - Deftones frontman. He's just fucking cool, basically.

    I agree with Dalai Lama, but I'd choose someone else (not still living tho):
    - Buddha or
    - Nitzshe (sp?)

    About dead ones I choose this master:
    Ludwig Wittgenstein

    For those who want to see why I admire this fella I suggest this masterpiece:
    Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus


    OK, maybe I should choose some religion founders or musicians, but I reject to do that! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    [​IMG] Good choosing Extremist.
    Especially the last paragraph of the Tractatus is very wise in it's triviality:
    (don't know it's exact wording but comprehended it's) "If you can't speak about a subject you have to shut up!"
    Originally it is about (mathematical)logic but i think it's also not wrong for ordinary conditions. ;)
