So you have defined self-control as control over oneself. Great job, dumbass.

This fucking dumbass could have skipped town but he stayed, knowing he would be executed. Wtf?

Me thinks Socrates was a pedo. Any dissenters?

What would Socrates think of the type of irony used here on 4chan?

That actually makes a lot of sense, because...

Well, I mean, what if Socrates was so compelling a character because it was *ironic* to the Greeks that he would be discoursing on philosophy...

Maybe it was ironic and funny because...

Well, I mean, look at him.

Socrates had Down's Syndrome.

Plato was probably paying tribute to this colorful local character in the form of an ideal version of him in which he was not a retard but a brilliant philosopher, but the ideas that came out of his mouth were all Plato's.

It makes total sense now.

Have you even brought a single argument in your post or is it just worthless drivel?
Do you even realize that Plato (along with the pic related deciding not to run, which showed he was serious) basically saved Philosophy from being a derogatory term?

Was he a hack?

I have a question about Socrates. I know he was supposed to be one of the smartest men who ever lived, but I mean, just looking at him... I just gotta ask something, and maybe it's true, maybe it's not, you'll tell me what you think, but I'm putting it out there.

Was he retarded?
