| He made the weaker argument stronger than it should have been | ||||||
| lol Hemlock. | ||||||
| Culture lol. | ||||||
| bweh | ||||||
| garbage. | ||||||
| rofl | ||||||
| meh | ||||||
| I gotta admit, that's pretty clever. | ||||||
| now I five. | ||||||
| lol pointless. | ||||||
| DO IT! | ||||||
| lol fad, die. please. | ||||||
| lol, socratic method. | ||||||
| no. | ||||||
| haha, yay classics!! | ||||||
| i get the joke, its just not funny. i can come up with a better one right here. TITLE:"LOL, NIETZSCHE", GIF:NIETZSCHE SAYING "LOL, GOD IS DEAD" | ||||||
| |||||||
| "i can come up with a better one right here."
lol, do it :) | ||||||
| the balogna is in the nest, the pastrami is recyclable. | ||||||
| socrates is the dude on the far left you f*g | ||||||
| "socrates is the dude on the far left"
No, that is Plato. He sits somberly awaiting his friend’s unfortunate but ethically necessary death. If you don't believe me check:

"Only Plato, at the foot of the bed and Crito grasping his master's leg, seem in control of themselves." | ||||||
| my mind is blown, thanks, but i hate this fad | ||||||
| Certainly, better to be downvoted for an opinion than for a falsity. | ||||||
| So many humourless down voting f*gs today. | ||||||
| I wondered how come your lol got more than be alot more, you paid for it, even more than I did. :) | ||||||
| "you paid for it"
Well, I feel that I enjoy this site a great deal so occasionally I like to give back to it. I might as well get something of mine viewed a few times in the process. | ||||||
| This is an elegant and cultured YTMND | ||||||
| Classics references for teh win. | ||||||
| Bubble. Has. To. Shake. | ||||||
| It's funny how he dared the Athenians to kill him, telling they'll be cursed and stuff, but they did anyway. | ||||||
| lol historical | ||||||
| 5'd for history | ||||||
| gooo hemlock XD | ||||||
| Doesn't make any sense. | ||||||
| ^^^ needs to go back to school. | ||||||
| I think Socrates would have been proud of the way I refuted his argument. | ||||||
| 1 for self sponsoring. Categorize as "has no class" fad. | ||||||
| spite | ||||||
| f*ck philo | ||||||
| Stewie Griffin: "NOT FUNNY!!!!!" | ||||||
| Is he flipping them off? | ||||||
| lol, not clever | ||||||
| lol, people don't get art jokes | ||||||
| not as funny as "lol immanuel kant" but 4'd for philosophy ytmnd. | ||||||
| This fad needs to die | ||||||
| lol man-porn | ||||||
| lol, accurate history. | ||||||
| historicalnessness lol | ||||||
| Lol, philosophy. | ||||||
| don't mind the "smart" ytmnds at all, but seriously, why the f*ck are they moving? | ||||||
| bupo annoys me, because he never spells BOLOGNA right | ||||||
| "why the f*ck are they moving?"
It keeps instep with the lol archetype. The hilarity of that particular fad is enhanced by a certain perception of mania and insanity conveyed through movement. I also thought that Socrates' pointing hand lightly resembled Ronald’s in the original lol the internet YTMND. | ||||||
| historical/artistic doesn't mean GOOD. fail | ||||||
| lol classy | ||||||
| Good job riding on the coat tails of the "lol...." fad noob. | ||||||
| Nobody listens in class anymore, least of all in history or philosophy, so I'll give it a 4 because I actually know about this. | ||||||
| sh*tty site + fad + psuedo-intellectualism = 3.63? WTF? go die. | ||||||
| who DOESN'T know all about this!? | ||||||
| lol, culture! | ||||||
| "who DOESN'T know all about this!?"
Socrates was killed after willingly consuming hemlock in accordance with his ethical devotion to Athenian law. It would be what he is receiving in that goblet. | ||||||
| lmfao, nice | ||||||
| socrates was a cool guy | ||||||
| lol, the apology | ||||||
| Its really not that funny, they're not supposed to be moving, this doesn't work as a lol ___ fad | ||||||
| I... I lolled! How did this happen? | ||||||
| hey polishvito: I think that's the point, Einstein. 5. | ||||||
| Ummm | ||||||
| nice | ||||||
| Nice. We need more culture on this site. | ||||||
| Poor philosophizer. : | ||||||
| no | ||||||
| lol, | ||||||
| I like how if you don't upvote this, you're either or uncultured or uneducated. Nice logic people. The fact that most of you don't understand the meaning of this (and there really is none) while putting the others down that actually do see what the author is doing shows that you are psuedo-intellectual, hypocrital egomaniacs. He has done this once before with Immanuel Kant. Wikipedia's intellectual property is not garunteed. | ||||||
| Socrates lol ye made me giggle :) | ||||||
| HOPEFULLY THE DEATH OF THIS FAD | ||||||
| HAW HAW | ||||||
| +5 for making education fun! | ||||||
| I understand exactly what's going on, and why that picture is important. it's still a bad LOL site. | ||||||
| You're a genius. | ||||||
| rregardless of this stupid debate, this is not a top15 ytmnd. | ||||||
| It great to see culture and philosophy coming to the site for once. | ||||||
| lol, educated | ||||||
| lol, a stupid spinoff of a tired old fad. Before you call me an uneducated prick, I do get the reference, and insulting my primitive distaste for the finer arts does not change my opinion on this poor YTMND. Grow up. | ||||||
| huh | ||||||
| |||||||
| 5ing beacuse of tehphar's post | ||||||
| YES! watch out for demons. | ||||||
| Needs more Cosby. | ||||||
| lol, classics | ||||||
| "who DOESN'T know all about this!?" Socrates was killed after willingly
consuming hemlock in accordance with his ethical devotion to Athenian law.
It would be what he is receiving in that goblet.-- well no sh*t... ytmnd is to cut back a bit, while this is trying to look vastly intelligent and just looking. . . like something everyone should already know | ||||||
| Fived for bastardizing high art for ytmnd. Also, So Crates. | ||||||
| That is one fast bed. | ||||||
| Yeah, its under "so-crates". | ||||||
| wtf | ||||||
| I dig it, primarily because it's bloody absurd. I got the reference, naturally. | ||||||
| does not fit the fad. fail. | ||||||
| |||||||
| Five for Socrates.
Was there not one awhile back that had a stone bust of Socrates/Plato flying through a blur saying "lol philosophy" | ||||||
| Hey, UrbanSombrero and misspoptart I don't know what the hell is wrong with the both of you but no one is calling you uncultured. I am fully aware that there are a lot of people that don't get the reference. You can try and put yourselves up as some kind of down voting martyrs somewhere else because I don’t give a damn whether or not you ultimately get the reference. | ||||||
| damn, if only socrates hadn't drank that hemlock he's still be alive toda-- oh, nm | ||||||
| This doesn't make sense, i mean more than the other lol, ytmnds. Why are they going so fast? hes in a death bed, not riding in a car, or anything like that. ergo this is teh sucks. | ||||||
| omg i remember this! | ||||||
| W.T.F. | ||||||
| excellent work my friend | ||||||
| Hee hee...dead Greeks. :-) | ||||||
| poor form, but whoring of philosophy-themed ytmnd's is essential.

| what | ||||||
| indeed | ||||||
| cool how did you do the moving background (what program) | ||||||
| lol, commenting | ||||||
| "how did you do the moving background" It was done in Adobe's ImageReady C2 by a 4 quarter sectional rotation method (which I'm sure is unnecessary, but I know no other method at this time) that was then blurred using the "motion blur" filter. | ||||||
| I was just about to say "lol, hemlock"
before the page loaded. | ||||||
| Thanks to you I now go around saying "lol, hemlock". Awesome. | ||||||
| Anybody who downvotes this hasn't passed middle school. | ||||||
