You know, I've had it up to here with BAP's Negative Nancy attitude. "The past was sooo much better, we're all a bunch of pantie wearing pussies." Yeah, yeah. I ask, you, BAP - what's to stop you from taking control of a city, killing its most prominent citizens and engaging in systematic looting and rape? Only you, you silly goose. Maybe you should start thinking about what you can accomplish if you only put your mind to it!
I just expect more of a can-do attitude!
I'm not going to put hours into something without reason. I studied some of the ancient Greek philosophers in the past, most of which was because I had to for school.
Just because I don't agree that a wall of text about something so decoupled from my life is interesting doesn't mean people have to start crying. It's been years since I've encountered such sensitivity. Saying "there's no reason to study this" isn't really making a convincing argument as to why anyone should study this, nevertheless be heartbroken when someone isn't thrilled to study this. Maybe some people have time to waste and enjoy reading for the sake purposelessness?
This thread is funny. :durr:
Maybe you should read my post properly. For the record, I don't care if you study the classics or not, I'm not some prole educator trying to bring culture to the masses. All I could do was trying to poke your curiosity. Since that didn't work there's nothing else to do.
Ok I'm an asshole for asking why I should enjoy this. Thanks, everyone.
