Weak are the meat, the strong will eat.

OMG sweet, Gorgias just took total ownership of this conversation. Now I can just nod my head to whatever Socrates says!

[Callicles @Callicles]

And another great thing is Socrates will look like an idiot for trying to hold a conversation with.. himself. LOL.

[Callicles @Callicles]

Actually if i just completely stop talking I won't have any chance to look stupid.

[Callicles @Callicles]

If I blame this discussion all on Gorgias at least everyone will be thinking I'm super nice for doing this for him. #winning

"To be disciplined is better for the soul than lack of discipline" (505b). I know where you're going with this, and you're not about to win

[Callicles @Callicles]

Why am I sitting here being asked silly questions only to eventually end up contradicting myself in front of all these people. #wasteoftime

[Callicles @Callicles]

"Try and tell me it's name, as in the case of the body" (504c). Please stop asking me questions you know the answer to. Thanks.

[Callicles @Callicles]

"Let's examine the matter calmly" (503d). Good idea, and then we can calmly talk about how philosophy is overrated and how much you annoy me

[Callicles @Callicles]

"Do you think that orators always speak for whats best?" (502d). That's a general question, am I supposed to know every single orator ever?

[Callicles @Callicles]

"I mean each individual rule himself" (491d). Self control = happy? OK stopping myself from eating ice cream my whole life sounds HORRIBLE.

[Callicles @Callicles]

"Do you see my Callicles, that you and I are not accusing each other of the same thing?" (491b). WELL YOU KEEP SAYING THE SAME THINGS!

[Callicles @Callicles]

Honestly at this point if I have to spell this out in anymore detail, I'm just going to write a novel about it.

[Callicles @Callicles]

He goes from talking about who should rule the city, to how much doctors should eat for lunch and I'm just extremely confused now.

[Callicles @Callicles]

"Go easier on your teaching, so I won't quit your school" (489d). Well now that were on the subject... can you quit actually?

[Callicles @Callicles]

What. does. he. not. get. The superior obviously doesn't mean the people that are totally irrelevant. *rolls eyes in disgust*

[Callicles @Callicles]

"It looks as though you weren't saying what's true earlier" (489a). EXCUSE ME? So you're saying I'm a liar. Soo rude. Do you know who I am??

[Callicles @Callicles]

"And aren't the rules of these people admirable by nature, seeing that they're the superior ones?" (488e). Ughhhh where this is going..

[Callicles @Callicles]

"Are the superior, better, and stronger the same..?" (488d). OMG. Yes they're all the same thing, what is the point of all these QUESTIONS!?

[Callicles @Callicles]

"Please restate your position from the beginning" (488b). Um seriously? I just ranted for an hour about how rich people should rule..
