All my immediate family, the missus, and some of my mates. People that earn my respect really. Oh, and this guy Charlie who used to go to my school who grew up in Africa. His parents were both killed when he was 8 or something, so he had to go and live with his gran. She got sick, and he had to work 14 hour days labouring to buy her medication, but despite all the work, still couldn't afford the medicine to keep her alive. She died, and he was orphaned. He lived on the streets for a few years, and got into selling drugs as the only way to make money and stay alive. He got arrested (and beaten) several times, as well as stabbed 6 times (on different occassions). A family adopted him a few years later around the age of 15, and later came to our school and took 3 A-Levels. Nuff respect to him. He was a top bloke as well, and hard as f00k. Oh, he also got chased by a hippo around a lake. That was an amusing story. Apparently they're fast, but got no stamina!
All people who are fighting for there right to a dignified death, such as the late Diane Pretty, who fought for her right to euthinasia all the way to the court of the human rights dispite being slowly destroyed by motor nurone disease. She lost the case... and was dead within weeks
i don't think many people here will share my opinion but one of the persons i respect the most was Ernesto "Che" Guevara. he was a doctor in Argentina with a wife and 2 kids and gave it all up to go fight with Fidel Castro against the dictator Batista who was president of Cuba (an extremely hard dictatorship he had going on there). they fought in the mountains for about 6 years till Batista finally resigned from the presidency and left the country (he got away). but not only that. after the victory on the cuban revolution he had several jobs in the government like president of the state's bank doing a great job on every one of them. he stated voluntary work on the sugar cane fields and preached with example cause he had the most acumulated hours of voluntary work in all Cuba. when the revolution was setteled he left Cuba, leaving he's wife and kids behind again to go fight in many other countries like Africa and Venezuela to free the people from opresive dictatorships.

I must say that I repsect my two best mates the best, Owen and Adam. I've known Owen for 8yrs and Adam 8months. I know they would do near enough anything for me. They tell me the truth and we get on the best ever. My mates tell me they went out with my g/f or they kissed my g/f, I don't do anything to them, there my mates and I have repect for them telling me. If there is a women they like and I like, and one ends up with them, then so be it. They are really good mates. I repsect them the most.
