Nakharar Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Socrates suffering wife Everyone remembers Socrates and thinks that he’s such a great guy but no one remembers his poor suffering wife Xanthippa . Socrates was suppose to be laying brinks and building houses because his job was being a stonemason. He was suppose to be supporting his wife and three kids, but all he liked to do was to hang out and bullshit with his buddies all day. So Socrates has been known for 4000 years as the smartest guy in history and the founder of Western philosophy and not for being an excellent stonemason. He was so lazy he didn’t even write down what he said his smart “entrepreneur” buddies like Plato did that and his poor wife never even got the publishing rights. The famous dialogues of Plato, which made him a fortune, were nothing more than Socrates rambling on while hiding from his wife instead of doing his job. The Dialogues are all about what’s the best kind of government what’s good and evil and what’s the true nature of man. What they don’t record in each one of them is his wife breaking up the party and yelling “Socrates get back to work you lazy bastard” Eventually his poking and prying into the government and peoples lives so annoyed the respectable citizens of Athens he was accused of corrupting the youth and ignoring the gods. HE was convicted to die by poison or be exiled from Athens. Rather than work for his annoying wife the rest of his life Socrates preferred death.

Arpa Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Of course not. Plato was gay. style_images/master/snapback.png After all who is not Gay? Aren't we all when we "don our GAY apparel" at every Christmas time? (A phrase from the Christmas carol- Deck the Halls). :) Was not Jesus gay since, as the myth goes he was not married. God is not married either.??!! Is that why He sneaked into Mary's bed in the dark of the night so as to not blow His "closet cover"? And how about this; A Republican hero, but was Abe Lincoln gay? Find it here; http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1376919,00.html Word of caution. Lest you be labeled as gay, don't ever touch another person of like gender. Don't ever express love towards another person of the same sex, be they your best friend, brother/sister, father/mother, uncle/aunt or just another admirable dear person that happens to be the same gender as yours. Can we get our culture back from those so-called "gay terrorists"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakharar Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Forgiveness does not always lead to a healed relationship. Some people are not capable of love, and it might be wise to let them go along with your anger. Wish them well, and let them go their way. That could be said for us and the Turks. Even if "forgiveness" takes place we will always hate each other. What's done cannot be undone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armen Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Sip, when you're God making an egg or a chicken is all the same. There is no difference even in making an egg or a spaceship. You just want it and it's there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
