"Does the access to so much information about people, past and present, mean we no longer have any heroes? " Or does it offer the opportunity to find out about a wider range of people and their endeavours? ?  | |||

"I do feel that the word 'Hero' is overused and it means genuine acts of heroism are not always properly recognised. Multi millionaire footballers winning a game are far from hero's." I see nothing heroic about being rich from playing a game. They are role models to some. | |||

"Does the access to so much information about people, past and present, mean we no longer have any heroes? " The two men, one who was awarded the Victoria cross for driving his apc back into heavy fire to recover wounded comrades and the man who was awarded the George cross (same standard as the Victoria but not in the face of the enemy or if you aren't in the armed forces) for diving on a grenade released from a booby trap to save his team mates in the room. They are hero's no amount of silly d*unk Facebook posts will ever detract from their actions. So no I disagree we still have hero's. | |||

"I do feel that the word 'Hero' is overused and it means genuine acts of heroism are not always properly recognised. Multi millionaire footballers winning a game are far from hero's." But they are. Not to everybody I agree but you ask my 9 year old who his hero is and next to Iron Man it would be a footballer. What defines a hero? Who decides who a hero is? It depends on the individual. Some see Nelson Mandela as a hero. Some see him as a terrorist. Just remember that opinions are like arseholes! | |||

Very strange response.
Care to expand. You stated because off access to information we no longer have hero's I provided to men who have recently (past decade) have proven themselves hero's.
If you wish to disprove that go for it.
But I'm not sure what your point is any more.
As you don't seem to want to debate you've just made a very obscure statement and now even more obscure replies. | |||

It was a discussion about Mandela and Gandhi a few weeks ago that led to me pondering heroes, heroic deeds and the difference between those things. | |||

Yeah I never got the Nelson Mandela thing I mean his organisation and supporters once raped a 8 year old girl with a broken bottle before burning her alive because they suspected (wrongly) she had told the police about a landmine they had planted and so stopped their civilian targets being killed. | |||

"There are still Hero's - Most genuine ones are the unsung ones. The Meals on Wheels lady who makes an elderly person's day by spending time chatting to them. The scientists looking for cures for diseases and finding little break throughs that help. The patients volunteering for trials even though it probably won't help them as it will help someone in the future. The real ones - don't make a song and dance about it - they just are one! " There are those and I have met some remarkable ordinary people who quietly practice everyday heroism. Even with some of those though you get the odd story of one of these wonderful people turning out to be something heinous in another part of their lives. All the good is stripped back and forgotten with the information that they did something horrible, maybe a long time in their past. | |||

"I've got that tune in my head now thanks lick " Here you are Bladey, try this one instead 
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be Heroes, just for one day
And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers, and that is that
Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time,
just for one day
We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
What d'you say?
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing,
nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes,
just for one day
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns shot above our heads
(over our heads)
And we kissed,
as though nothing could fall
(nothing could fall)
And the shame was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes,
just for one day
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying,
then you better not stay
But we could be safer,
just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh,
just for one day | |||

My dad is also my hero just because as are my late granddads "I know someone who had a one-nighter with Axl Rose, but she didn't know who he was at the time and didn't care after she found out. I have a lot of admiration for that woman. | |||
