    Socratic Discussion of Justice

    To answer your last question: I could explain myself, if you are willing to do the same, instead of quoting what you have learned in books. Not that there is anything wrong with books. Just that I posted what I was thinking, or feeling at the moment, based upon the life and death of Socrates, according to what I have also read from books. There is not much that we can go on, as far as his own writings are concerned, but what we can rely upon are those circumstances which brought about his execution. Circumstances which Plato has many times pandered to, in order to save his own neck. Plato does convert the acts of Socrates into his own rendition. Therefore it is a translation. To paraphrase those acts would require the same intention as Socrates, and that is not evident, by the lifestyle of Plato vs that of Socrates. With Socrates, you either jump in the water all the way, or not at all. Plato's toes are wet...Yes books are a great learning tool, but try and put that knowledge to practical application. There's where the real meat and potatoes are. And I'm sorry that you feel the need to criticize my "grammar (or lack thereof)" in order to bolster your dominance in this matter. In the future I'll try to remember that this is not a gaming forum, but that would also be a contradiction. P.S.

    Socratic Discussion of Justice

    Bearing in mind that Plato's translation of Socrates, is based upon his own political perspective, and security for those times. We are forced to respond to Plato, or not. And then I ask, "What justice is it when another man speaks for others, and yet not himself?". I find it highly ironic, to this point, that you should bring Polemarchus' assertion to the forefront. Simple logic has marked history in a vengeful manner, where from to give freely to those you have taken from is true reward for unjust acts. Whether or not we acknowledge such acts, is our own personal experience, which in turn poses another question. "Have we really learned from the mistakes of the past, or will vengeance rule?" P.S. At this point I will pause, for I have a dental appointment to keep..."Ouch!"

    Tanki Picture of the Day - Have any?

    ^^^Throughout history art has always superseded any form of communication. My post was not intended as blasphemy. I was out yesterday, and couldn't help but notice the overwhelming amount of “Easter Bunny” paraphernalia and advertisement, which seems to be on the increase with each passing year. I was making a statement here. And instead of getting too serious, because this is a gaming forum. I resorted to humor...I’m sorry you took it the wrong way, but although you may not see this now. As you get older (as I am) and have overcome many of life’s obstacles, you may or may not (according to what you have learned) find that God has a sense of humor...”Even in the truth!” And just to make sure that my post would not be taken in the wrong way (blasphemous). I put a spoiler below it...If you did not notice! "Happy Easter to everyone!" :)

    Post Your Desktop

    Just a note, if you want: You can create a folder for your Recycle bin, and pin it to your task bar, and remove it from your desk top, and then hide your task bar, so the desktop will be even cleaner...If you want... :)
  15. I know for a fact that there are elders that play this game, who are unwilling to come out of the closet because their generation is the one that regards computers as nefarious..."Come out! Come out! Where ever you are!" :lol: P.S.
