who was your hero and are they still?

didn't have one as a child, now my son's are my hero's

Yes they still are. My dad was my hero when he was living, and still is today now that he has passed. I sure do miss that man.

My grandpa - he was an incredible man. He will always be my hero, died 1 week short of his 97th birthday. He taught me about kindness, patience and love, qualities I didn't get anywhere else in my life.

I know this probably isn't what you meant -- I grew up in the "Mickey Mouse Club" era, not too many super heroes back then, unless you count Goofy, Mickey, Minnie and the rest.

yes, that was perfect. Wasn't really going for a fictional character.

As a child?

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I never had one.

When I got older and actually started appreciating things, I would say my hero would be my older brother.

didn't have one as a kid, dont have one now

wonder woman and yes she is

My penis, although I look down at it

dont be silly, you use the mirror

My late Uncle Al.

Used to go on his boat cruising thru the water just he and I.

Taught me how to play poker with pennies when I was just 7 yrs old.

Gave me my first and only real nickname,Moe,I still have to this day, but only for close friends and family.

God I miss him sooo much

My childhood heroes died when I was 10 since then i believe in the imperfect human beings that i get to know.

I had admirers, but not really heroes. My parents are my heroes. My late grandmother and Princess Diana were my admirers as a child.

add another dad to the poll, except i'm blessed to still have mine with me.

1....The Lone Ranger
2....Zarro
3....Roy Rogers
4....Super Man
5....Bozo the clown
6....Mighty Mouse

All of those were child hood hero's, and over them now.

NOW today's hero's:

1....Angelina Jolie
2....Jennifer Lopez
3....Jennifer Aniston
4....Halle Berry
5....Carmen Electra
6....Pamela Anderson
7....Eva Longoria
8....Megan Fox
9....Cameron Diaz

You get the idea! Better and more "hero's now!

No heroes as a child.

Even fewer as an adult

I didn't have heroes then and I don't now.

"Hero" status is fantasy based: Superman, Batman, and Underdog

I look up to and respect people with a good heart, integrity, bravery, ambition, intelligence kindness, and who live by the Golden Rule. I aspire to find friends who possess these qualities and I try as well.

Some people define heroes in terms of their job. While I admire and honor soldiers, firefighters and law enforcement, I don’t categorize them as heroes. Most of the people IN those positions DO NOT consider themselves heroic both because that is their career -- and they are not superhuman. I feel strongly that most people in the aforementioned careers do things many others will not do; however, I still don’t immortalize them as heroes.

We have super-citizens that CANNOT leap tall buildings in a single bound, but they can save a kitty from a tree!

I guess I'm not into false expectations and over-sensationalizing flesh and blood.

Never had one, I don't have one now. Now I just have respect for people who can overcome adversity without becoming bitter, jaded, or violent.

once again you have managed to type up my thoughts exactly

HI

Isn't it spooky when I can read your thoughts from waaaay over here??
