    You might be surprised to find that God is not the best candidate to rule the world. In fact that's why I killed him.

    No I won't. I can't even think of anyone ever liking me. I'm above most people.

    Lets wait for it.

    I love watching BP's logical ship run aground. To me, it's like baseball.

    Pindar becuase BP is just a synonym for nietzsche

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    LOL - you quoted the wrong person. Try quoting again this time instead of me use the name of the actual person who stated it. Here I will help you out.

    Now try it that way. You want to rule the world and you can't even attribute the quote to the right person. How funny is that.

    We all know that you and Gawian( ) are the same person.

    Plus just because I'm percieved to be evil doesn't mean I can't rule the world better then Pindar.

    I guess then I like to argue with myself. Wheres Saturnus when I need him?

    Also I notice BP didnt even vote for himself. Can we take it then you either voted for Pindar or that both of you are mean?

    I think what BP is trying to illustrate here is that he is a masochist.

    Statements of such delusion show why you can never have power.

    However Pindar has shown by his words that he would be a better ruler then you.

    You're not even close to being evil BP, maybe senile though only kidding bud .

    Let's face it, neither of you should be in a position of power, but the same goes for a lot of us here at the org, but maybe some few should be.

    c'mon everyone - it is "better THAN", not "better THEN" (barring certain exceptions).



    Also, if Pindar shouldn't be in a position of power, who should be? What is the standard on which you are basing this belief?

    I can tell you right now that I would love to have Pindar in a position of power and I believe many americans here would agree with me. Heck Id vote for him for president over any of those who have been suggested for the next election.

    Not necessarily. Pindar's words have been shown to be, for the most part, logical, intelligent and reasonable, but his actions have not. No one here who is not a moderator has shown any proficiency in management other than their understanding of it and their outlook. I simply asked who would be better in a position of power between BP and Pindar. Political candidates exist on a separate plane by virtue of their actions and history. The idea that I put forward is purely speculative and simulatory of a real situation.

    C'mon, Red, it's "you're", not "your" when you're trying to communicate "YOU ARE"...

    A masochist can be one's own sadist. Masochism does not require the affect of another individual.
