I saw that tweet and I thought it a while. Eventually she came up. Definitely, she's pretty fucking rad.

Nah...she's LIVING her memorial, and continuing to inspire the world; let's leave the statuary to the inspirational deceased. :)
JanisJoplinsMothersAunt
She is a sham. She shows that it's better to leave your home country for the west. Not very inspiring for her nation.
reverseblumpkin
Her nation is one of the most (3rd-most, according to this study) dangerous places in the world for women and girls to live. (1)

Of all the heroes in the world, this guy is reposted constantly... time to move on Imgur, it has become disrespectful.

Yeah, I know this was in Afghanistan. I've fought in both wars and know that this type of heroism is very friggin rare! He's a HERO!

Not afghanistan... pakistan.

This was in Pakistan. But yeah, he gave up his life due to the instability in Afghanistan and Northern Pakistan
spicyairtract
Thank you for your service!

Also, having a statue of a Pakistani hero in the US would do AMAZING things for US-Muslim relations.
FwdSlashRoot
Soldiers go to war expecting to give their lives. The biggest heroes are the ones who leave home that don't but do anyway.
Salmonthegreat
Just a question, what is your opinion of the Iraq war? The war itself that is, not the individual soldiers or civilians involved.
Salmonthegreat
Also, that man was a frikkin' hero.

He's not the only one of his class, either. I'd like to see one of those group statues paying respect to all of those who did what they >

Don't quote me on this but I sorta remember reading Mother Teresa in truth wasn't all that good.
theyar
Yeah I know but I meant what people think of her.
JStengah
She didn't use adequate pain medication, and didn't distinguish between curable and incurable patients.
JStengah
Instead of alleviating suffering she tended to glorify it.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
Some Christians (including some Catholics) believe that suffering on Earth will prevent you from suffering for eternity.
Raltsun
Religion is not an adequate excuse for making people suffer for no real gain.
raidleadergutts
Yep. She just tortured a lot of people to death.
JStengah
Not really, but her care was definitely substandard and would've been considered gross incompetence by any licensed doctor.

People that don't have English as the first language. I've only heard of him because of how much other people were talking about him.

Well, where I live (where English is not the first language), everyone knows Carl Sagan, so hold your horses there.

I'm from NY and I'm sure if you ask ppl around the city who carl Sagan was ...they wouldn't know.
