Woody Guthrie, lived as a hobo in the great depression. He was a socialist too, and hated fascism, going as far as having a sticker with the words "This machine kills fascists" on his guitar.

He also made awesome music. and "This Machine Kills Fascists" is probably the coolest thing anybody has ever put on their guitar.
He made some of the best songs I've ever heard

Not only is she just plain wonderful, she indirectly gave me one of the most important people in my life.

Friedrich Nietzsche

He is like a father to me, He was the first person who gave hope to the hopeless. The teachings he gives us that one should wish to be in pain and is lucky to be blind and deaf. As when you are blind and deaf you see new experiences noone else gets to. It is a privilege and honor to be raped,abused,imprisoned,tortured,maimed.

As these experiences show you sides of humanity and lessons that few people ever get to see and feel themselves. He also taught us that knowledge is the ultimate goal in life and without the evil's in life you only get a limited amount of knowledge to share in hopes of helping others.

He is without a doubt the one person every human should try to become.

Promoted sex and wore a cape... I shall presumptively refer to her as the winner.

After researching Alexander I can confidently say that I would be a cavalry man if it was still relevant.

Well even his mental breakdowns allowed him to see things in a way,Until we are blessed with a mental breakdown we will never be able to see ourselves.

Simo Häyhä bitches, aka White Death.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simo_Häyhä

Dude was a farmer who decided that he hated the Russians invading enough to sit around in -40 temperatures in an all white suit and got 500 confirmed kills using IRON SIGHTS because he didn't like telescopic ones. He also had 200 kills with an SMG. They eventually only took him down with close combat and a SHOT TO THE JAW knocking off half his face, but dude decided he was STILL too badass and to spit in everyone's face by waking up on the day peace was declared.
That kinda wins it for me.

I am truly envious that he got to see the world from the perspective of a crazy guy flailing in the street.

I kid, really!
