What is your major? I'm a philosophy student. I saw your Socrates thread and just wanted to say, don't let them bother you. I'm 18 too and I took my age off after about a month because if people have no logically based reason to attack what you say, they go straight for "You're only 18 and don't know shit." I get treated with a lot more respect now (which is stupid because I say the same things as I used to.)

Also, I've said it many times: If I was alive in Ancient Greece, I would totally have a crush on Plato. Socrates probably had his share of sexual relationships. As far as I know, he makes no reference to being celibate and I think if he had thought it through enough to decide to never have a sexual relationship, there would probably be some record of it somewhere. But what do I know?

Keep in mind that most people who say you're too naive haven't even read the books you're referencing. That's been my experience, anyway.
