Dole Office Clerk: Occupation?
Comicus: Stand up philosopher.
Dole Office Clerk: What?
Comicus: Stand up philosopher. I coalesce the vapors of human existence into a viable and meaningful comprehension.
Dole Office Clerk: Oh, a BULLSHIT artist!

Socrates is my fav and i'm gonna take philosophy as my major in college, i wanna make it a career. The only belief i truelly hold dear is that "there is no truth"-thanks Socrates!

i also am a fan of Plato...not really aristotle though

113 officially kicks ASS. i also a fan of Plato. Aristotle was his student but i never really liked Aristotle. Alexandre the Great was also a philosopher but concentraded too much on conquering lands and spreading hellenism. Hellenism means to spread culture. I think it comes from greek word Hellas.

Hellenism was the culture of the ancient Greek which was depicted through various arts(mainly statues). Alexander actually started to become hated by the Greeks after he started to abandon Hellenism and adopt cultures and traditions from the Persian Empire after conquering that.
Yeah i don't like how Aristotle believed that we can trust our senses, Plato said that we couldn't trust our senses to understand the world around us(can't be sure of anything)-and he gets that type of thinking from Socrates(his teacher) who believed that their is no ultimate truth, but rather many truths.

haha, i'm usually "dumb" on this site cause it's fun to be after constantly debating and shit with people in normal life.

and no i didn't get it off a website, i started reading up on philosophy on my own a few years ago, and then got into some more of it in ancient history class last year.

Plus sometimes it's just not fun debating after a while because people don't accept your beliefs. I tried that here and in other places and just got bashed.

i usually win in debates but there are some good competitions here. Like RR. He knows his philosophy.

Lau Tze

I also think VOltair is an excellent philosopher. Even though most of his books have been banned, but i have read Candide. Excellent book in my opinion. Voltair was a man that would walk up to you, insult you and you would never know. 🙂

yeah it seems like he knows a lot, but i dunno i haven't realy gotten into any debates with him.

I also usually "win" debates, my points are usually unchallengable.

dunno, a few years back when i was in a huge Atlantis frenzy i found a few websites which talked about PLato, but i don't think many of those websites would be very um..."official" ..just google search "plato" and you should come up with hundreds. Also try history websites.

thank you. if anyone has any websites plz do help. need info on Plato
