Has any of the forum members read "The Republic" by the Greek philosopher Plato? It is very interesting but some is complete crap.

If it's Greek, isn't it more likely to be Man2Boy action?

Well... modern Western philosophy, yes. We also have those literal cunts to blame for the bible being taken on face value by so many imbecilic Christians.

Yes, read it. Much more than simply an outline of a society, very important theoretically and speculatively. Obviously a blueprint for tyranny as much as democracy... Still, not to be avoided if one is serious about either politics or philosophy.
Man2Man action, hot or not, was surprisingly cautiously treated by Plato (generally, not sure about this book in particular), although homosexuals should feel happy (even gay) for being in good company.

I never understand why they had such an obsession with pots and urns.

I use to really like philosophy until I started meeting people who were into philosophy. I've never met a larger group of people whom don't practice what they preach.

i couldn't agree more.
what ive found is that most of us (us being philosophy majors) enjoy the philos for the arguments made and not as much for the actual concepts behind them, which makes the whole study a lot more tolerable.
it seems like a lot less bullshit when you stop thinking that youre actually trying to prove the existence of god or morality or some other intangible thing.
