im looking into bifol contacts
I have never discarded a school book in my life.
Hobbes, like Plato, occurred at the end of a bloodbath of a civil war. Both created philosophies emphasizing the security of order and centralized authority because of their experience of societal breakdown and violence. Locke occurs in a rare time of peace and prosperity, so his approach is for decentralization. And I haven't taken a course in 30 years, so running on the conclusions that came out of them.
thats good also keep up to date on new stuff
I didnt even know they made Bi-focal contacts i may need to look into that...
Running on the conclusions is an Aristotelian principle. I remember that much, I think. Lol
Been 20 years for me.
whithers sounds like time of today
My, there were school books I could not wait to dump. For example, my accounting text book was from Arthur Andersen - the accounting firm for Enron.
Hahaha heros
lol..wow enron takes me backā”
@osok Certainly. As a history major I have been calling this an uncivil war now for 6 years.
un what civil
that can work if done right
Had fun in school. Speaking of taking back. Met the guy that invented the Happy Meal for McDonalds. His ad contract for that was 1 penny for every happy meal sold - ever.
yea that oxymoronic phrase Civil
It makes sense in Latin - not so much in English.
I imagine he is not disappointed with the return.
really ...was teaching
Nope.
The guy came in as a guest to one of my marketing classes.
very dis about what going down
im constitutionalist
Maw still around?[
whats sad is how long it toook to geat there
Not saying you're not but I think everyone thinks they are a constitutionalist, more or less.
Maw comes and goes. Maw is mysterious.
Well, I found my ability to think clearly improved greatly once I was no longer pole vaulting out of bed in the morning. Age helps. Now that I am "Walter", things seem much more clear.
dosent matter to me i welcome all long as there respect
Humm Corpus Juris Civilis seems to mean the same. but yea i guess i do not speak Latin so suppose i would not understand.
Some time I will have to toss in my posit on why the Left cannot be American. Liberals, in a Classical Lockean way can be, but not Leftists.
Sounds like a Prager U paradigm. No offense. I'd like to see it.
I was lucky to go to a public high school that taught classical Latin as a foreign language option.
latin killed me men ra actis reans i can spell
school sucked...hard to get through it when u have a problem with very basics
Lol
Conservatives hold these truths to be self-evident: "We believe that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain Inalienable Rights; that among these rights are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights governments are instituted." And more specifically that all are created equally morally obligated before the law.
1) Leftists do not believe in the individual, but insist on collective merit and demerit, collective enfranchisement and disenfranchisement, and collective reward and punishment on the basis of group identity; on the basis of inherited and immutable characteristics such as the color of one's skin, the genitals with which one is born, the ethnic heritage of the individual, the religious heritage of the individual, etc.
2) Leftists use the "created equal" part to insist on material equality because they do not believe in moral and spiritual equality: that we are equally obligated before the law. Instead they insist we are equally competent and talented; that all persons are of equal worth to society and should be equally compensated for their existence rather than for their efforts.
