Ianus: Maybe I should call myself Critias?

Ianus you quote Susan's post :

" I am afraid we cannot change his mind. as a typical 3rd worlder he's keen on blaming the west for everything, we already exchanged posts in which the "terrible" situation of the native indians was relevant compared to the rampant islamization of the world."

I am so disappointed. The name "Plato" sounds so nice and friendly. But you have to attend Socrates' school to become a real Plato."

Like I have this thing about Native Indians Susan has this thing about 3rd worlders! Like the native Indians, Socrates is even longer dead, murdered by the state for his teachings, his mind. Read Susan's statement "I am afraid we cannot change his mind..." Neither his accusers nor the jurors could change Socrates mind. Susan is the accuser, juror and the judge in my case. She has been handing me cups of hemlock for quite some time now. I am refusing to commit suicide.

Socrates' school also graduated Critias, Plato's uncle. Perhaps I should have taken that name. He was not 'so nice and friendly'.
