Peter Kropotkin
I didn't know what to write about, so I choose this, make corrections please!
--
Prince Pyotr Kropotkin was a geographer and naturalist, besides russian political thinker, is considered one of the leading theorists of the anarchist movement.
Kropotkin was born in Moscow on December 21, 1842, in the bosom of a noble family. His father, Prince Alexei Petrovich Kropotkin, owned large tracts of land in three provinces, and had about 1200 slaves.
He was devoted to studying the writings of major political theorists, and began to sympathize with the painful conditions of the peasants. The direct experiences of their scientific work as an explorer and his close contact with the misery and poverty of the Russian peasantry and Finnish were the cause that led Kropotkin to abandon scientific activity, and then he decided to write about politics.

Honduras National Anthem : )
I did not translate this, it's from wikipedia, I hope you like! : )
mostly is a song to the nation's flag
--
Chorus
Your flag is a splendor of sky
Crossed with a band of snow;
And there can be seen, in its sacred depths,
Five pale blue stars.
In your emblem, which a rough sea
With its wild waves shields,
Behind the bare summit of a volcano,
There is a star of clean light.
Verse
To guard this divine emblem
We shall march, oh fatherland, to the death;
Our luck will be generous
If we die thinking of your love.
Defending your holy flag,
And shrouded in its glorious folds,
There will be many, Honduras, your dead,
But all shall fall with honor.

My favorits philosophers
My favorits philosopher are:
-Diogenes, he's my favorit greek philosopher, he was called "Diogenes the Dog" because he wanted to live like a dog, Plato called him "a crazy Socrates".
-d'Holbach, he's french and worte a book called "The System of Nature", this book was forbidden for a lot of time, some people call it "The Bible of the Atheists".
-Marquis de Sade, french too, not properly a philosopher but his books are really interesting, he wrote the majority of his books in prison or madhouse.
-Friedrich Nietzsche, there's nothing to say about him, he's simply great, everybody likes Nietzsche.
-Peter Kropotkin, this one is russian, he's an anarchist theorist.
-Others: Schopenhauer (pessimist philosopher), Descartes (Cogito ergo sum), Cioran (rumanian), Michel Foucault and Wittgenstein.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Philosopher I kind of hate or dont like:
Hegel, Saint Agustin, Engels, Leibniz.
"Philosophy studies the fundamental nature of existence, of man, and of man's relationship to existence. In the realm of cognition, the special sciences are the trees, but philosophy is the soil which makes the forest possible." ~ Ayn Rand
