"F*** You, A**hole." "Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40-Watt Range."

It is a quote by one of the most famous philosophers of all time. One of my personal favorites, Socrates.

Nope. I was a registered Republican until about twelve years ago, now I hold no allegiance to any particular political party.

And I wasn't offended.

Dang I thought I nailed it. Even know democrats are conservative and republicans liberal. I thought I would give it a shot.

• Attributed to Socrates, but reported in Respectfully Quoted: A Dictionary of Quotations (1989) as unverified in his writings or in interpretive writings about him. Possibly this is an interpretation of a passage from Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates (The Apology), trans. F. J. Church, p. 61 (1880, reprinted 1972): "I do not venture to come forward in the assembly, and take part in public councils…. For, Athenians, it is quite certain that if I had attempted to take part in politics, I should have perished at once and long ago, without doing any good either to you or to myself. And do not be vexed with me for telling the truth".

Way to copy and paste your argument. I'm not vexed at all, Socrates takes credit for the quote. Since you brought that to my intention, I did a little digging and found nothing to support that it was a quote by Plato. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong please correct me
