This is the Real World..so, I am just asking.. but first just for a short comparison.let's have some sample of a brief superheroes in the fantasy World... 1.Superman has strength,xray vision,eye-beam,can fly,but only reliable to sun and weakness is kryptonite. 2.BAtman is just a regular guy who has talents and can fight crime with the use of his money and resources and gadgets to attack criminals but has no super powers. 3.Professor X can read minds ad talk to minds within the distance and far with cerebrum but can't walk.. 4.Son Goku of Dragon-Ball can accelerate power and extends level until his hair turns blond and longer...can fire chi wave as powerful as a nuclear weapon.. 5.Hancock can fly and fight bad guys,except that he's lazy and can't get close to her ex wife that makes him loose his power.. they are all fantasy symbols of heroism, How about this kind of heroism... * Ordinary Unsung People - No powers, no extra Abilities and or extra ordinary talent what so ever.. * But they too fight for the freedom and liberty of our own people at the expense of their normal and private life that can lead them to their deaths. * I don't need to say who they are..i think they exist it's in each of your country's history... = So, based on these two comparisons, which of them are into you and why? why choose fantasy or ordinary heroes...do we still have it inside us????? With so many violence that's happening in the World...what do you think you can do to save at least an aspect of the earth. e.g. Nature,animals. For me: We are all Heroes, in our own way, if we do it Right

To me the best heroes are the unsung heroes. They help save live's daily and never expect a simple thank you. From firemen to police. Even Doctor's are unsung heoroes yet we dont hear about how many live's each one has saved in a week. But many Doctor's do save live's. Nurse's are unsung heroes, they spend alot of time taking care of the sick and dying. Yet no one ever say's thank you. I believe that we all are heroes in our own way. We all have saved something in our lifetime.

I almost forgot our Cops, fighters, and doctors who wouldn't hesitate to save our lives and use their knowledge to cure people. not a lot of doctors now a days because of so many are turning nurse and going abroad, but of those too are heroes..i sure hope i contribute something, some day...

I like that idea, we do it here too but sometimes we get to encounter some really corrupt officers...

Well there are good and bad police, look at Spring lake. All of the police were fired. Because they were all corrupt. So you had some bad apple's, but there are also good one's. I enjoy seeing the bad one's caught. Because that just make's one or two less bad guy's in this world.

Heroism and patriotism is actually the main purpose of my people. that's we don't allow foreign technology because we depend on our own. some of your countries had dependent on western influence, money and technology that you become slaves to it..

'We are all Heroes, in our own way, if we do it Right' Doing it right? Who decides what is right though? In my opinion those people who do extraordinary things every day of their lives with no recognition whatsoever are the heroes. We hear of the doctors who save lives but those who run the ambulances to go and fetch the injured and get them to the hospital in time never get a mention. We hear of singers and movie stars who make huge amounts of money but we never hear of those who spend their lives nursing disable sons or daughters confined to bed, The list goes on and on. There has been a huge mistake...

That is what makes them tick too. They don't think about what they are doing as being heroic, they just get on and do it and they pass by un-noticed. They have my admiration because they do it all their lives, dedicating themselves to others the whole time, day in and day out
