Five people you admire

[Hutch]

Please name five people you admire, you are only allowed one celebrity and one racing driver. Please don't give the reasons why you admire them.

Don't name your whole family, etc, etc

These are my five:

Sir Winston ChurchiII
Princess Diana
Pope John Paul ll
Marilyn Monroe
Don Garlits

 

[G'ginna]

Albert Einstein
Marie Curie
Thomas Jefferson
Galileo Galilei
Aristotle

...sorry, no celebrities or racers in this short list... Your list could be argued as many believed your princess to be a celebrity of sorts...

 

[Joker]

Some of these could be considered celeb's by some I guess, but actually other than Tiger, the others are just down to earth people who happen to entertain other than Gen Lee. And ofcourse you all know JF's story.

Tiger Woods
Steve Irwin
Gen. Robert E Lee
Charlie Daniels
John Force

Princess Diana was officially known as The Princess Of Wales, she was a member of our Royal Family. She is not a celebrity.

I think that millions of people around the world would disagree with you on that one, J.

[Von Halen]

["Dr. Dirt"]

Not Sammy Hagar??????

here's some of mine, including, but not limited to:

Jesus Christ (a God and my elder brother)
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson (among about 30 other US Founding Fathers)
Thomas Edison
Ronald Regan (finest modern day president)
A small number of Modern Day Christian reformers/restorers

I love most individuals throughout history who possessed both brains and guts and who feared God more than man.

Don't be offended, there is no harm in being both your princess & a celebrity. If she were half as stuffed as the rest of the older generation of the royal family appear, she would not have been liked or loved by so many. imho

OK John..I'll bite.
What exactly is the role of the Royal family in the political process? Do they vote?

OK I found this:

"The Queen is Head of the Commonwealth, a voluntary association of 53 independent countries.

From Antigua to Zambia, the Commonwealth is a remarkable international organisation, spanning every geographical region, religion and culture. It exists to foster international co-operation and trade links between people all over the world.

Some countries within the Commonwealth have The Queen as their Sovereign, whilst remaining independent in the conduct of their own affairs. They are known as Commonwealth realms.

The Queen and the Royal Family retain close links with the Commonwealth realms, and with other members of the worldwide Commonwealth organization."

And that means what?

Again like Georginna says..I mean no disrespect..I just have a hard time understanding the concept.
