Your favorite person?

[ineededausername]

Throughout my childhood, my favorite person was defaulted to me up until I discover someone who can do something I can't at which point my new favorite person became them until a point at which I was moderately professional at what I do or lost interest in it. Rodney Mullen for example is a good model for "favorite person" to skateboarders, especially myself since I skate his style (freestyle/flatland/old school) much more than new school break-every-bone-in-your-body-as-early-as-possible-in-life style.

These days, having been hurled into economics, politics and cryptography thanks to discovering Bitcoin, I have thousands of "favorite people". I doubt I'll ever be my own favorite person again in this lifetime. From this understanding I deduce that the whole concept of having a favorite person, much less being your own, is a juvenile concept that comes from a lack of social and international awareness. I see everyone as just a different plant now at different stages of growth.

On that note, what's your favorite plant? I've taken the liberty of presenting a list of plants that I think represent some of the forum members the best.

Atlas - Cactus
Bruce Wagner - Poison Ivy

Please add more as you see fit.

Mr. Rodgers is cool enough. Back when the U.S. invaded Haiti I spent some time with the army special forces. Being the new guy, the troops could not resist screwing with me. They had me convinced that Fred Rodgers had been a baddass sniper.  In retrospect, wtf was I thinking?

But my favorite person? Well, I wish I was as smart as Richard Dawkins.

I must have missed him on South Park: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPJQw-x-xho

I like George Bush, he's really the funniest comedian ever made.

[Interjekcion]

George Carlin and Carl Sagan. What a shame they both passed The world needs more people like them.

I don't really have a favorite person. I like myself lots... Does that count?

Also, I still quite vividly remember watching on TV when president Clinton got the privilege to meet and talk to Mr Rogers on stage in front of cameras. Though I think I miss Sherry Lewis and Lambchop more. And Red Green (Steve Smith), though he's not dead yet, just not making any more shows (for some reason I think Phinnaeus would be a huge fan of his shows)

My favorite person is Obama, cause my favorite color is black also.

I would say Obama is more brown or maybe yellow/brown.

Cool, so Obama is the first brown / yellow brown US President.

[TheHeroMember]

Obama is far more better than Bush.

Bush = War ,  War = Bush

Richard Dawkins is fallacy master #1.   The same goes for Hitchens, although Hitchens was much more talented at constructing an eloquent sentence.  But, something tells me that neither one of them would have amassed the support they did were it not for their accents.  

Regardless, neither understood the importance of faith.

My favorite person...I'll give it to the Dalai Lama because he was the first person that came to mind.

Those generations are gone. The Palestinians who occupied Israel at the time of their exile did not commit the atrocities that were committed by their forefathers.
