Weird - caught us in mid conversation.

LOL DC, and I insist, you need to take a decisive moment. When everybody assumes you have a gf, is high time you do that true.

ROFL Duck!!!

It would be worthy GW.

LOL Don! (it was Mimik, right?)

[Don]

Oh.  Well, this has been time well spent

[۞†Grey Warden†۞]

Nah Mystic, unless mimic met mystic first.......

Oh.  Well, this has been time well spent

I had a rather interesting discussion with my world history teacher today about Thomas Hobbes' idea of absolutism in action. I won.

[Dina]

Awesome DC!

GW...eh, no. That was not what I meant.

And I didn't feel we were fighting

I find the Contractualists to be extremely interesting, but I'm a bit rusty on Hobbes.  I still have the core concepts.  Do you mind elaborating?

[Ms Duck]

You could be right.  He seems interested in the subject matter, he shows up to class, he reads the material.  For all I know he's a good student.  In philosophy, it's easy to get worked up and want to explore a bunch of things that aren't necessarily relevant to what's being discussed at the moment. 

It's a group of people who are pretty well acquainted with one another hashing out personal issues.  So, technically speaking, yes.

No, just delivering constructive criticism derived from my own experience.

Good for you, winning a discussion with a teacher. Student Power

[Ms Duck]

heh. years ago when my DnD club got kicked out of HS clubs for being a dnager to the kids, i went before the school board and listed all the crap the football teams had done..

and still lost, cause DnD is demonic, ya know?

Okay, so Hobbes idea is that humans are basically evil at their most natural. Hence the need for a strong central authority/state. So he presents his idea of absolutism, in which the central authority/government/state has absolute control. The assumption is that all of the power would be concentrated in one area, but the idea of separation of powers within an absolutist government can also be applied. Like in the United States (or at least, ideally), the government has absolute control over the people with its power being vested in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. It may not seem absolutist because of the separation of powers idea being applied, but it is in fact.

What did you mean whos mimic?
its ok i was just under the impression you were mad with me.

It is , my character was brutally murdered at every session the only time i ever played Duck

[Doroga's Cousin]

I think the best part was after I had explained my position, the teacher stood there mouth agape, before she admitted that I had a solid argument.

one of mine got attacke dby an army of escaped familliars using civil war technology.. he cast acid rain.. on the gunpowder storage.

oops.

[Dina]

Methinks is not absolutist if you can be removed by the people.

Don, sorry, I thought Mimik had told me I was Jessica Rabbit last time I was Poison Ivy

Sorry GW, is that I am a teacher and I would have been unhappy with a student doing what you did.
