    Will someone tell me how this is different to the existing rolemodel thread, and, indeed, what it is about, before I close it?

    The other thread is about the members of the forum.

    This one is your rolemodel in life, not the member rolemodel....

    Gone?

    Ok, I'll try to get Edyz's topic back on topic.

    I've never really had a role model, and if I have, it's changed week to week. So I guess that doesn't count. At the moment, I'm not sure what I want to do so I don't really have any rolemodels/ambitions...

    Yeah I'd like to roll around with a model....preferably one like Crissy Moran.


    But to be honest, my rolemodel would have to be my dad.
    He's corky sometimes, but he's never afraid to be who he is and be bluntly honest with people.
    I admire that.

    General Lee is actually somewhat of a role-model to me. The man was a great general and was against slavery. The succesion of the south saddend him, though he couldn't fight against his brothers.

    Good man i'd say.

    I'd have to sort of go with Discovery on this one, my family sucks.

    Bismarck and probably other people, however, I am drawing a blank at the moment. For better or worse I don't generally look up to people in that way.

    Alexander the Great. Achieved so much in such a short time, limitless energy, boundless vision. Shared the hardships of his troops and rewarded their endless loyalty and was still able to rule like a King.
    He saw a world ahead of his time and defeated the (previously) greatest empire on earth. A military genius who understood the importance of combined arms and integration of newly conquered peoples into the cultural of their conquerer.

    I'd better get a move on...
    Cowardice is to run from the fear;
    Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
    Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
    But to hold the line anyway.

    Anyway, about 15 km to the north of Utrecht between the A2 and the Vecht.

    Well not really, in some ways though. I was more desperate for a user name. Although he would have to be one of them.
