a call for all alexander enthousiasts

College Life
1

<p>i have started this thread in honour of alexander the great, the most revered, the most worthy man that ever lived in the history of universe. this man possessed a unmatched quantity of bravery, courage, fortitude, self-control, generosity, and magnimity in all aspects that defines a great man. let all intellectuals gather and discuss his life’s work, his achievement/legacy and some of the controvercial topics such as his death and why for over centuries the west had constantly drew inspirations from this kid of age 20. to take part in this intellectual discussion, it is recommended that u read at least plutarch’s biography (which is short). and of course all classists, historians, philosophers are welcomed. in fact anyone is welcomed, anyone who wants to learn about alexander</p>

<p>let us discuss this man, Alexander The Greatest of The Great.</p>

2

<p>Eh, Alexander wasn’t too great.</p>

3

<p>Boo!!! this isnt the place</p>

4

<p>Alexandre the mod? Yeah, he’s cool.</p>

5

<p>this is truly disappointing. i dreamed to make this thread the intellectual philosophe cafe par excellence…</p>

6

<p>

</p>

<p>…By a person who spells enthusiasts enthousiasts and is writing randomly about Alenxander the Great in a college board…?</p>

7

<p>I agree w/ Lord Sauron, Alexander the Great is totally my role model. Anyone who conquers half the world by the time he’s 25 is just the ****. I hope that one day I will become 1/10 the man Alexander was.</p>

8

<p>My role model is Ash Ketchum, he is currently trying to catch em all, and is doing a very good job at it.</p>

9

<p>Why are we leaving out Ghengis Khan? He was the only man on Earth who pretty much conquered all of Asia… Is it because he’s Asian? YES??</p>

<p>Europe= does not equal half of the world. It seems we need to have some Geography/Spelling lessons in here.</p>

10

<p>while I’m not trying to be a stereotypical CCer… spelling in the title can really help the way people respond to a thread…</p>

11

<p>Another lame attempt to pretend to be smart.</p>

12

<p>uyulove, chill, this kid’s on crack</p>

13

<p>LOL I’m obviously joking. Hm maybe not as obvious but I was joking.</p>

<p>

Yes, I agree… sigh</p>

14

<p>

Now there’s a role model!</p>

15

<p>^ Hmm i remember him only catching like 6 pokemon when there were 150 pokemon around… what a bad role model. LOL. Are’t there like 500 pokemon now?</p>

16

<p>But the point is Ash tries to catch all of em, and it’s the perseverance that matters!</p>

<p>Haha but yeah, there are way too many pokemon nowadays. Back in my day, there were only 150, and we had to walk six miles to…</p>

17

<p>Ash’s Pokemon were the weakest things I’ve ever seen. He always got owned by the others.</p>

<p>My model is Brock aka the girl magnet. It doesn’t matter how many girls turn him doen, he is able to get back up and try again. Unlike Ash, who is satisfied with playing with his puny squirtle and bulbasaur.</p>

<p>my spelling is fantastic. it’s just that sometimes i write in french orthograph accidently because english and french is so similar. “ou” looks more correct to me. for native english speakers, french can be a breeze. anyway…</p>

<p>yes i am pretending to be smart. i do not reveal any of my valuable theories or ideas in an inappropriate place. the only place for my ideas are papers and books that i might write later on. for now, i only pretend or give u the already accepted facts and opinions. this is facts:</p>

<p>genghis khan has no place in the subject of alexander, in fact in the whole ancient realm that encompenses southern europe, egypt, greece, mesopotamia, rome (the area to which the west can trace its heritage to)</p>

<p>now, that we are cleared with that genghis (he is so obscure idon’t even know what the heck he did) let us move on to the subject of alexander. the most worthy of our attention and praise. alexander never was defeated in battle, he showed bravery that was never heard of in the history of humankind. he was educated by aristotle. he dashed darius, with his tens of thousands, using only tactics. now we come to my favourite subject: battle tactics. tell me about what u know about alexander’s battle tactics</p>

19

<p>What about Napolean?</p>

<p>“this man possessed a unmatched quantity of … self-control” </p>

<p>Yes, like when he killed his friend, Clitus, in a fit of drunken rage? (I am all for Alexander the Great, btw, so not trying to criticize.)</p>
