Who's the biggest hero?

While I believe someone in the military can be heroic, I don't think simply serving makes you a hero. Cops and Firefighters are definitly at the top of my list.

 

Here comes Mr. Pessimistic..... right down Santa Claus Lane.....

What sucks is with a decision like this is that there are people doing these jobs that taint the honor and respect the true heros deserve. I kind of agree with Sent, a GOOD teacher is a wonderful thing, however, what is with these people who seem to not even enjoy working with other people (let alone children) that become teachers?!!? Personally, I know a few people who became teachers that are some of the worst human beings I have had the displeasure of meeting..... I seriously think it should be almost as hard to become a teacher as it is to become a doctor (and the pay should reflect this ).

The same thing can be said for cops.... the good cops deserve all the credit in the world. BUT take the cops in my community for instance, they are all pushing 300+ lbs (not that there is anything wrong with this, but if any profession besides an athlete had some sort of health requirement you would think it would be cop/firefighter). I've personally (and most of my friends) been pulled over multiple times for no reason..... and I know your probably thinking "there had to have been some reason". Well there wasen't..... The cop said nothing to me, took my drivers license came back and said that I was lucky cause he was going to let me off with a warning for a one inch crack (literally) in my wind shield..... your telling me he saw that when he pulled me over?!!? yeah right, he knw he had nothing and had to come out the big man. Yet as he powertripped with me people are getting raped/killed on the other side of town - justice ftw! So yeah, the good cops deserve all the respect in the world.

eh you get the idea, I really should learn to look on the brighter side of things, but at the same time if everyone looked on the brighter side of things these fools stealing the respect and honor they don't deserve would be even better off. Now all I need is to be elected king of the USA and I can rid the country of these fiends..... and cyrus..... I'll ship him to cuba without a return address

 

Superman... seriously, in all honesty, I think Teachers, Cops, and Doctors are at the top of my list.

 

A hero is someone that can STAY THE COURSE in their good deeds without the need for the spotlight.
Where priorities are in line for the the greater good, and the needs of us all considered. Following a non-destructive path of selflessness to help, aid and foster growth.
Such as a parent that is more concerned with their childs up-bringing over their own career is a hero. (Example, My wife and I decided BEFORE our first child that one of us will ALWAYS be home with them. We had no intention of putting them in day-care. Why have children with the intent to have someone else be their primary care-giver, during the most impressional and precious times.)

I would have to say that your list contains a small listing of noble professions.
I believe that a Hero is more defining of a person. Just because you are a Law-Enforcement officer, a Teacher, Clergy or Soldier you are not automatically granted hero-ship.

In Summation How you perform your duties and how carry yourself, defines you.

A person is a hero.

Is there an "all of the above" pick?

That would be mine.

 

Aww, that makes me all tingly inside

 

My List would include

Doctors
Nurses
Police
FireFighters
Health Care Workers
Red Cross
Salvation Army
Anybody who served in the Military

 

A hero to me is somebody who goes above and beyond in courage and in action.

 

There are asshats in all(i know the marines have their fair share) and heros in all.

But either way Semper Fi mother f**kers

 

Where is the Vin Diesel category? He's at the top of my list.
