Sorry, but crawling out for help is not "brave".

Bravery is putting yourself at risk to help other people. Putting yourself through pain in order to survive is mere survival instinct. Most times, bravery is the opposite of survival instinct. People who run up to burning cars to help the occupants out are brave. Soldiers who storm machine gun nests are brave.

That word has been so watered down by the contemporary American need for "heroes" it's becoming meaningless.

need a *hero tag

This has me thinking we need a *HERO channel

All the children sing

Wheel don't need another hero.

Quite well done. I've usually excused the capricious way in which the "prime directive" ended up being a placeholder for "I need the heroes to be conflicted about resolving a major issue by doing something trivial so there's dramatic tension", but he really nails them to the wall.

The real problem is that after Gene Roddenberry died, you had that awful, awful travesty known as Star Trek: Voyager, where following the Prime Directive always meant doing something hideously awful.

The other series got sketchy about it at times, but ST:Voy is really the issue here.

We need a *hero tag.

The sheriff of Nottingham is growing increasingly brutal in his tactics. We need a hero of the people to teach him a lesson.

In the 80s they didnt need guitar hero...or stylists *beg

Ya sorry, McCain is no hero. Letterman should've followed his "America needs more heroes like John McCain" line with "used to be." I believe it's possible to lose your hero status if you try hard enough, and McCain certainly has.

We Dont Need Another Hero!

Party at ground zero
A "B" movie starring you
And the world will turn to flowing
Pink vapor stew

Johnny, go get your gun, for the commies are in our hemisphere today
Ivan, go fly your MIG, for the Yankee imperialists have come to play
Johnny goes to Sally's house to kiss her goodbye
But Daddy says to spend the night
They make love 'till the early morning light
For tomorrow Johnny goes to fight
Johnny, Ivan, Ian, everybody come along for our nations need new heroes
Time to sing a new war song

Please do not fear 'cause Fishbone is here to say (say what?)
Just have a good time the stop sign is far away
The toilet has flushed and green lights are a ghost
And drop drills will be extinct
Speed racer cloud has come
They know not what they've done
Sin has just won
The planet is a crumb

"i'm kinda annoyed by your insults, fletch."

Too bad, so sad. Unfortunately, I, like many people here, no longer give a rat's ass what annoys your precious, self-involved psyche. If you, in your teeny tiny reality on Looris Island, think the word "Asia" in a collective means you can post whatever offensive shit your inept capacity for discretion will allow, as long as there is an Asian in it somewhere, then maybe you would be happier posting this dross on a much larger site, where your need for hero-worship will find a greater pool of Family Guy idiot savants from which to draw. Even a dolt like Quantumushroom has his fanboys here, but that leaves real slim pickin's for you. Your condemnation of others who don't find funny what YOU find funny, even taking it so personal that you haughtily dismiss them as "sad", belies a world view that can only be described as pompous and dim.

Oh, and congrats on the gold star. One hundred is only 50 Family Guy vids away. I know you can do it.

I preferred the Fountainhead over Atlas Shrugged, but then, it was my first Ayn Rand book, and you know what they say about firsts.

In particular, I'm fond of Rand's recurring themes of individuality, creativity, leadership, and above all else, integrity.

These days, it doesn't seem as if there are true heroes. Not that anyone needs a hero, but if you're shopping, You could do much, much worse than Howard Roark.
