Tomas Edison because without him we would be watching tv in the dark

 

 

 

Pretty sure the lightbulb set down some foundations for stuff like the TV.

 

Its a joke because he "invented" electricity and the lightbulb.

Well he didn't exactly "invent" the light bulb, he just made improvements to it. Since there was a working light bulb before him that means he didn't "invent" electricity either then. (in fact nature invented electricity, not any one human)

Due to the movie with the little mouse i saw he invented the first practical one.

 

 

 

Thats why I quoted "invented" because nature did.

99% of your jokes aren't funny. [bleep] man.

I thought of one while I was in bed going to sleep (yep, I'm one messed up 18 year old male :P)

 

 

 

Nye Bevan. The millions of people in this country that would have gone without basic healthcare if he hadn't got the NHS to work with the support of doctors. Also, his role as Minister of Labour during the War. It remains the case that only one major strike occurred in Britain in the whole War despite the poor working and living conditions of the time. Trade Unionist before his political career with the Labour Party. Great man.

There's too many.

 

 

 

Basically anyone who stood up for what they believe in during desperate or hard times. The ones that dared say "No!" when the rest was forced to say yes. The ones who didn't fear prosecution as long as they helped another. I'm talking about people like Martin Luther King, Mahatma Ghandi, and all those other people which are usually classified under this category.

 

 

 

My sister. She's a wonderful person, and even though I can be a real pest she won't give up on me.

 

 

 

And the guy who threw a shoe at Bush, because his action caused the world to laugh in the middle of a financial crisis.

Sir William Crookes deserves rocognition; without his discovery of cathode rays, we would not be watching television or playing on the computer right now.

Not necessarily, LCD's for instance, don't use CRT's. And he didn't discover cathode rays, he invented cathode ray tubes.

yes

Zezima - I don't need to explain.

As a whole, I would have to say youth leaders, the amount to preperation they put into youth events is enourmous, and they don't get much recognition. Plus more often then not they will never know if they made an impact in someones life. Believe it or not but I am more interested in becoming a youth leader because of not much recognition, I tend to hide if people want to thank me for something to a group I hide (I also hated going up at awards assemblies.)

As a whole, I would have to say youth leaders

 

 

 

Like Hitler's Youth? :shame:

Paul Newman. 'Nuff said.

No, like the youth leaders at churches, they put in alot of effort for teens, and are often not given recognition, especially from quiet a few kids at my youth, who wouldn't say thanks without having to be given a glare from their mum. :roll:

Austin Powers for being the most groovy man alive! Seriously, he taught me not to be shy anymore.

There's too many.

Nothing more has to be said.

That Vietnamese Monk who burned himself alive to protest the war in Vietnam. His picture is all over the internet and is now a common symbol for rebelling for a righteous cause. The image is disturbing yet you can't be disgusted because of how admirable his sacrifice was. While we're on the subject of protest, let's not forget the man in Tiananmen Square who boldly stood in front of the tanks. These guys have way more courage than a spoiled bastard like me will ever have.

The guy who burned himself alive didn't exactly earn my respect for what he did - I think it was pointless. There are far better ways than killing yourself to protest. I mean, he made a stand, and you have to find that honorable, but he burned himself alive. He could have done even more good alive than dead. But, to be honest, who'm I to judge.

At first, I was going to try to make a funny post by saying "You're lenticular, [bleep]" but then I stopped and studied that post for a while and realized that I actually respected it.

 

 

 

Not like my respect matters but just hadta say that. :thumbup:

Actually, it was a pivotal moment and focused the attention of the entire world on what was happening in Vietnam.

People like William Hung have a lot of musical talent, but are never recognised.

 

 

 

This is a video of him auditioning for American Idol:

Man, he has so much talent! =D>

You should go back to being the depressed guy. Trying to be funny just isn't working out for you.
