Because men such as yourself have ceded and surrendered the humanities departments to feminists, the soul of your civilization is being lost, alongside your Natural Rights. I hope you are happy owning up to your cowardly actions, to have given up without a fight.

Do you consider yourself to be a greater expert on the Rights of Man than Thomas Jefferson, Socrates, Adams, Aritsotle et al?

John Adams: I should as soon think of closing all my window-shutters to enable me to see, as of banishing the classics to improve Republican ideas.

In his later years, Thomas Jefferson wrote, “They all fall off, one by one, until one is left with Virgil and Homer, and perhaps Homer alone.” Jefferson advocated the gold standard and railed against central banks, based upon the Natural Rights exalted in Homer, which today men are taught to discount, hate, and detest.

Thomas Jefferson: A lively and lasting sense of filial duty is more effectually impressed on the mind of a son or daughter by reading King Lear, than by all the dry volumes of ethics, and divinity, that ever were written.

Thomas Jefferson: I read one or two newspapers a week, but with reluctance give even that time from Tacitus and Homer and so much agreeable reading. . . I feel a much greater interest in knowing what has happened two or three thousand years ago than in what is now passing.

Dr. Carl J. Richards (in The Founders and The Classics, Greece, Rome, and the American Enlightenment): Through the use of Roman analogies, William Fairfax, Washington’s mentor and surrogate father, impressed upon him “that the greatest of all achievements was, through honorable deeds, to win the applause of one’s countrymen.” . . It was customary for guests at Belvoir, the Fairfax estate, to sign their names in a register, followed by a favorite Latin quotation. . . Although the founders always endorsed classical education on utilitarian grounds, they defined “utility” in the broadest possible manner. In addition to the writing models, knowledge, and ideas which the classics furnished, the founders contended that they were an indispensible training in virtue. John Adams lectured John Quincy: “I wish to hear of your beginning Sallust, who is one of the most polished and perfect of the Roman Historians, every Period of whom, and I had almost said every Syllable and every Letter, is worth Studying. In company with Sallust, Cicero, Tacitus, and Livy, you will learn Wisdom and Virtue. You will see them represented with all the Charms which Language and Imagination can exhibit, and Vice and Folly painted in all their Deformity and Horror. You will ever remember that all the End of study is to make you a good Man and a useful Citizen. . . The connection between the classics and virtue was deeply engrained and implicitly understood. In 1778 Adams wrote regarding Arthur Lee’s sons (including Richard Henry Lee): “Their father had given them all excellent classical educations, and they were all virtuous men.” To Adams, the causal relationship between the first fact and the second was too obvious to require explanation. Such a relationship could be assumed, since the stated purpose of most classical literature, including works of history, had always been to inculcate morality. Since the inculcation of a fixed moral code is not the expressed purpose of most modern literature (perhaps because there is no longer a consenus concerning morality), modern people would be perplexed by the statement, “They all study American history, and they are all virtous people.” But to the founders, the connection between classical training and virtue was clear.” –C. J. Richard, The Founders and the Classics, Greece, Rome, and the American Enlightenment, p. 37

Socrates honored Homer in his final speech: “Someone will say: And are you not ashamed, Socrates, of a course of life which is likely to bring you to an untimely end? To him I may fairly answer: There you are mistaken: a man who is good for anything ought not to calculate the chance of living or dying; he ought only to consider whether in doing anything he is doing right or wrong – acting the part of a good man or of a bad. Whereas, according to your view, the heroes who fell at Troy were not good for much, and the son of Thetis above all, who altogether despised danger in comparison with disgrace; and when his goddess mother said to him, in his eagerness to slay Hector, that if he avenged his companion Patroclus, and slew Hector, he would die himself – “Fate,” as she said, “waits upon you next after Hector”; he, hearing this, utterly despised danger and death, and instead of fearing them, feared rather to live in dishonor, and not to avenge his friend. “Let me die next,” he replies, “and be avenged of my enemy, rather than abide here by the beaked ships, a scorn and a burden of the earth.” Had Achilles any thought of death and danger? For wherever a man’s place is, whether the place which he has chosen or that in which he has been placed by a commander, there he ought to remain in the hour of danger; he should not think of death or of anything, but of disgrace. And this, O men of Athens, is a true saying.” –Socrates’ Apology
“In the real world, how is any fictitious literature going to help you on any job? Unfortunately, non-fictitious work was not being stressed nearly enough when I went to school, and I would be surprised if it was in 2013 as well.”

Ye shall know them by their fruits, and many here have ceded the schools to the feminists and dismissed the schools and universities as irrelevant, you now live in a country where men are routinely denied their Natural Rights to Faith and Family. Where do you think that judge came from who just seized your children? And the funny thing is, you Hate and scoff at Homer and Natural Rights, which teaches the Honor of Family, even more than she did. Own it.

Above somebody else scoffs at Virgil and laughs at Natural Rights. Own it–own your brave new world sans Natural Rights.

The great economist of freedom Ludwig Von Mises got his lifelong motto from the Virgil you scoff at, and Thomas Jefferson proclaimed, “They all fall off, one by one, until we are left with Virgil and Homer, and perhaps Homer alone.”

Homeric Ideals pervade the Declaration of Independence. Own it–Own your world where the classical soul of the Declaration of Independence is being debauched and destroyed, as you scoffed at the Rights of Man and Homer.

Witness the men here laughing at Natural Rights, Virgil, and Homer.

And then they wonder why their children were seized form them and why another man is buttocking their future/present/past wife.

There is more hate for the Great Books for Men here than from any feminist I have ever met.

It’s time for all the haters to man up and own the world they surrendered. Own it.

Let this shyt knock

I done gone from a troubled individual to enlightened, being skinny as a twig to having hoes recitin, boy from the suburbs with international clearance :salute: , sorry yall part of life is always being judged off of appearance, education never really meant shyt me, until higher learning showcased the real true facts behind commonly distorted history, Some cats would rather believe in fallacies and a hidden agendas, well fukk it I can't sit back and defend them. They don't believe in using fluoride or global warming being real; we'll just sit back and watch the coral reefs, kill, our air and food supply fine,fine, see the act of doing nothing is just as bad as committing a heinous crime.

I might marry a dumb rich blond who's a known promiscuous freak, then I just mi mi might divorce her ass two seconds after I skeet skeet,(get married brehs) Sit back hear the truth in my speech, got diploma from University, there's absolutely no reason why a bachelors education should be anything short of free, in order to pay off this debt I'll be forced to get over on underprivileged families through hidden fees, this American Life is nothing close too sweet, working hard, when I'd rather be PAWGed Up, chilling in my condo by the beach(yall gon learn today)

With uncertainly throughout the world, overpopulation in china and india reinforced by a lack of gurls, the only thing left for humanity to do is swirl. with change for the better on people’s minds, advanced communication and technology may just bring on another revolution, aint seen since the Arab Spring in due time, but I want to go to North Korea, I love N.Koreans,

trying to express my thoughts can get sohh confusing, the internet is like cognitive prostitution, dapping certain cats, who I don't agree or even share views wit, George Zimmerman viciously killed Trevon Martin but it seems hard to prove it, but biodiversity and hearing out different perspectives is good for the planet, just because I dapped but don't agree with a poster doesn't mean their opinion should be taken for granite, part of being a mature a individual is listening to the other sides perspective, then well respect it (you gon learn today)

See the world is changing, the black community went from MLK, freedom rights, to outright banging, sad thing people are still getting killed over slanging, Bodies innocently accumulate in places like Chicago yet no one wants to weigh in, :yeshrug:

@BarNone more proof why Jay-z sucks, I can bs a better rap than he can compose :smh:

A March episode of the popular show Family Guy which was first aired less than a month ago eerily predicted aspects of the Boston Marathon attack, depicting the main character detonating two bombs in addition to winning the marathon by killing the rest of the participants.

A birdlike fossil that dates to roughly 155 million years ago is ruffling the feathers of some paleontologists.


Australian judges have ruled that people do not have to be registered as a man or a woman on the register of births, deaths and marriages.
