* In a debate between a theist and an atheist regarding morality, both of them were asked about what would motivate a person to lay down their life for another since under natural morality, there were no altruism or selfless love. The atheist gave a long answer which took for about 1 minute talking about theories of kinship altruism. The theist's answer? "[[OneLiner Love]]." Apparently, even the atheist was impressed that he applauded his opponent. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmlw3gLCLHA&feature=player_embedded See it here.]]

** Yeah, [[FridgeLogic what happened to freedom of expression? First amendment?]]. [[YourMileageMayVary It may seem heroic but what Jacob Isom basically did was restrict a constitutional right of a person.]]

"I have seen three emperors in their nakedness, and the sight was not inspiring."
"The secret of politics? Make a good treaty with Russia." something hitler forgot
"To retain respect for sausages and laws, one must not watch them in the making." trust me you don't

* Terry Pratchett recieved the knighthood, and ''[[http://www.news.com.au/technology/terry-pratchett-creates-a-sword-with-meteorites/story-e6frfro0-1225926584339 made his own flippin sword.]]'' ''[[RuleOfCool With part of a meteorite!]]''

** The Beijing 2008 Opening Ceremonies.

* Dr. Norman Finkelstein, a son of Jewish Holocaust survivors, gives a ShutUpHannibal to someone who tries to play the Holocaust card and effectively tells his entire audience that Israel is in complete danger of becoming just like the Nazis in regards to its treatment of the Palestinians.

* Jacob Isom stopping the burning of a Quran on September 11, 2010 in Amarillo, Texas. He took it out of the hands of a radical Christian who was talking about burning it, and yelled [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2-KgBhslBQ "Dude, you have no Quran."]]

* Pretty much any time the Westboro Baptist Church gets shown up qualifies, but the peaceful "dance-off" at [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjV06XZ1PUk Lowell High School]], the students ''singing'' until they left at [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEiwBCpiA0E Gunn High School]], and the truly amazing counter-protest at [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZhZHaut9po Comic-Con]] serve as stellar examples of how to deal with them. (All of these also double as [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming heartwarming]], and Comic-Con's is [[CrowningMomentOfFunny pretty funny as well]].)

* Joshua Norton, the self-proclamed Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico, see more in the CrazyAwesome page, but if there is a moment that made him deserve to be here, it might be: When he stud up a Anti-Chinese riot, by simply praying until the crown dispersed.
* When asked to prove nuclear power was safe, most people would cite scientific data. Admiral Hyman Rickover satisfied his critics by pouring himself a glass of primary reactor coolant and drinking it on the floor of the US Senate.

* Whatever you think about Barack Obama or John McCain (or your feelings on the outcome of the election), 2008 saw the highest voter turnout ''of any Presidential election''. Call it the voting public's [=CMOA=].

* The Beijing 2008 Opening Ceremonies.

** Canada in the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. After never winning a gold medal on home soil, the Canadian athletes were determined to put an end to that drought. And they did, with 13 gold medals, more than any participating country. While saving the last 14th gold medal for the best (and breaking the record for most gold medals won at a single Olympics and the host country to lead the gold medal count) for the Men's IceHockey, where Canada defeated the United States in overtime.

* Let's just say all of the [[OlympicGames Olympics and the Paralympics.]] Whether it may be the Opening and/or Closing Ceremonies or some of the unbelievably amazing and (sometimes unexpected) wins that happen, the Olympics are simply a bundle of [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome]], [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming heartwarming]] and [[TearJerkers tearjerkers.]]
