Socrates... what a shit head

after spending the entire class period reading the part of Socrates from Platos' dialectic, not only do i feel drunk off redundancy, i've been enlightened as to what an ass hole he was. i know i touched on this at the end of class, but good lord, what an ass hole. that entire conversation was spent on making this euthyphro look like a total moron for not being able to answer questions that have no answers! he talked this guy into circles for, what seemed, no other reason than self vindication. some ego on this prick! now, i'm not saying euthyphro didn't throw himself into the situation. He probably even deserved what he got. but socrates is hailed as one of the greatest thinkers in history! For my money, he's no better than a kid who tortures a bug to death after tearing off its' wings.
