"The Ancient Philosophers, you don't need to believe them, just quote them."
How far do you agree with this statement. Use arguments supported by reasons to back your statements up.

If by "stalker" you mean "anonymous group of people who roll their eyes at your posts" then yes.

You would be overjoyed to have the attention of a stalker.

No, we will not do your homework for you.

>> No.778712

I concur.

its not homework, I'm just curious
one of my friends dislikes the fact that I do agree with this. But I cannot see why.
I was hoping that /lit/ could articulate what he cannot

>> No.778719

>>778713

/lit/ agrees with it, which is why you agree with it.

That's a fucking huge pigeon.

Really? Because it looks a lot like an essay question selected from a list. It doesn't really matter whose homework you're asking us to do, we're not doing it.

>> No.778730

Homework threads don't fly on /sci/, I don't see why you'd think they fly on here either.

I added the 8 marks for a joke.
It is not my homework, why would I waste my time taking a useless subject like philosophy?

>> No.778734

You know what? It doesn't matter?

Do you agree that you needn't agree with a famous person, as long as you can quote them, its ok?
Why/Why don't you agree with this?

>Use arguments supported by reasons to back your statements up.
That certainly sounds like homework to me.

>> No.778740

That was put there to ensure I'd get supported answers not simply yes/no

>> No.778742

>>778740

Doesn't seem like you succeeded all too well. :)

>> No.778745

>>778740
Yeah putting a yes or no on your homework is going to get you shitty marks.

>> No.778748

fine, reasons no longer matter.
It will be a poll instead.
Is there anyone who disagrees with the above statement.

If you want to run a poll who am I to disagree?

>> No.778758

>>778748

While I find valid points, I can also see the fallacies as well.

Therefore I find I must take a neutral stance on the matter.

The Silver Latin epoch of Roman literature was accompanied by the proliferation of glosses, books that gave the important bits from important authors and left out all the tedious stuff.

A gloss enabled people to become fashionably educated without much effort.

Silver Latin works are notorious for their lack of profundity.

I've spent my life in search of wisdom. I haven't found much in Statius.
