    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    I have a hard time believing that a thread that started out about such a serious thing as whos your hero turned in to just a bunch of negative crap. Oh well what the hell.

    Well, here's an idea. How about you stop contributing to the negativeness with a post commenting on it and instead, respond to the question?

    I didn't see much negativity, just a lot of joking around. Laughing is pretty positive to me....

    My hero is my little brother who is with me all this time through the thick, the thin and the fat. He made it obvious that I am a man and without him, I don't even want to imaging. :eek: That's why he is my Hero!
