Machiavelli

I came to the conclusion this guy knew what he was on about in "The Prince". Anyone else have any thoughts?

The stuff he writes in the Prince is excellent in succeeding as a leader. But don't expect to have any friends at all when you're at the top.

When people who live like that and do things like that finally face old age and coming death, they must be really fucking miserable indeed. "All I've got's a state full of people, every one of whom rightfully hates me because I was the biggest, most horrible faggot of their entire lives." Oh man, that must hurt. A life of intrigue and nerve-wrecking strife for crap nobody likes ain't really worth it, too, I guess.

Being a Machiavellian ruler is like being a million-dollar champion shit consumer, really.

What the fuck does your past life matter when you're going to die in a few days anyway? You'd have to be a huge idiot to worry about that then.

>>4
When you're oging to die in a few days, Anon, your past life is ALL that matters. Because you have no future, like. I wonder why you don't know that, are you 15 or 16 or what? Never thought you're mortal, huh? Realised I am when I was maybe 19.

>>5
You died at 19? I'm sorry. ;_;

>>5
No you idiot, when you're about to die, the few days/hours ahead are all that matters. Because after them you'll be dead regardless. It doesn't matter if your life rocked or sucked or people liked you or not, because whatever they're going to do after your death, you'll not be around to experience any of it. They might build you a statue or piss on your grave, you'll never know and it's completely irrelevant anyway.

This whole nostalgia and clinging to the past shit is why people eventually turn into boring retards at some point in their adult life.

>>7

Hm, good point! I didn't write >>5, but when I get old I'll try to avoid being a nostalgiafag.

>>7
I don't know why you're so angry; I just don't see how you can be sure you're mortal unless you died.

>>7
Wrong, wrong, all wrong.

>>8
You'll fail.

>>9
Aaaah, youth!

>>10
Tee hee, remember when x was still good?

>>11

X was great, it's a shame you don't get good x anymore. Not like it was in my day, now I am old and stuck in my ways and the x that the youth of today are into scares me.

We could show our x to our grandchildren and they'd think it was great too, I don't think the same will be true about the devalued rubbish manufactured x the youngsters are into these days. In my day x was never about making money and people just did it for the love of x, now it's all just about lining the pockects of x executives and x companies.

>>12
There we go, a young and defient fighter against his parents.

>>13
There we go, a failed existence trying to crush the spirit in other people just to make himself feel better.

>>14
Sorry, don't need that: you'll crumble on your own when you're 20. Few survive beyond that, like I did, really, and chances are you won't, because that's not very probable statistically, see.

>>15
See, you're doing it again. That attitude is a sure way into mediocrity, which I'm sure you'll enjoy.

>>16
Youth!..

ITT edgy opinions.

>>18
ITT edgy indifference

>>19
ITT seemingly objective observation

>>15
I'm older than 20 and hardly crumbling. And when it comes down to it, we all may be practically immortal, barring terrible accidents. Enjoy your centuries of wasted life.

>>20

ITT indication of context in attempt to touch insecurities of previously quoted poster

>>22
ITT insightful posts that grow gradually longer in an attempt to outwit the previous poster

>>23
ITT poster that has been outwitted long ago refuses to accept defeat and die

Dammit! Enough with the flame war already. (OP here)

also: samefag etc

>>21
>I'm older than 20
>we all may be practically immortal
You are either a 15 year old, or an imbecile. Or, maybe, a woman. Choose for yourself.

>>25
Fine, back to the track: Machiavelli was a dull retard who never knew what's best for him.

>>26
He wrote a popular book, you wrote a post on 4chon. The end.

>>27
Hear what, I wrote a kind of popular book, too. Impressed now?

>>26
Hitler wrote a book, and also happens to be much more "popular" than Machiavelli. He must be your #1 hero.

>>29
Goodwins law in action.

>>28
No you didn't.

>>29
You quoted the wrong post, therefore you have lost. Didn't even take Hitler.

>>24
ITT itt

>>30
Oh, really? Think again. A faggot theoreticist / advisor to a state ruler and a faggot state ruler aren't all that different.

>>33
Missing the point.

>>34
Not at all.

>>35
I think you are. Goodwins law is that the longer an internet arguement/discussion goes on the more likly it is that hitler and/or nazism will be mentioned.

>>36
Godwin, you retard. Goddamn.

>>37
Don't be such a grammar nazi.

>>36
Thanks for explaining, but why did you suddenly think I didn't know that?

>>39
Seems what you don't know is that whoever mentions the N-word automatically loses the argument, no matter how appropriate the comparison might be.

>>40
Let me rephrase that: [you thought that] [I] don't know how whenever somebody loses an argument he might try recovering by spilling nonsence and/or telling a questionably witty joke that the ladies might like. Just like I'm doing now, except we aren't in an argument anymore.

>>41
I didn't know it was even possible to be so new on the Internet. Stop trying to save yourself, take it like a man.

One Sunday womens timberland boots morning, I was told that someone was waiting for me in timberland 6 boots office.

She was sitting in a chair in timberland roll top boots office with her hands folded in her lap. Her head was bowed and when she raised white timberland boots it to look at me, she could barely smile without pain. Her face was disfigured, and timberland classic boat skin so tight from surgical procedures that smiling or laughing was very difficult for her timberland kids waterproof boots . She had suffered terribly from treatment to remove the growths timberland shoes that had so marred her face. We chatted for a while that Sunday morning and agreed to meet for timberland womens premium boots lunch later that week. As it turned out we went to lunch several timberland boots women times, and she always wore a hat during the meal. I think that treatments of some timberland shoe company sort had caused a lot of her hair to fall out. We shared things about our lives. I told her about my women timberland shoes schooling and growing up. She told me that she had worked for timberland 6 inch years for an insurance company. She never mentioned family, and I did not ask. I have thought about her timberland mens custom often over the years and how she struggled in a society that places an incredible premium on looks, class, wealth and all the other fineries of life. She suffered from a disfigurement that cannot be made to look attractive. I know that her condition black timberland boots hurt her deeply. http://www.timberland6inch.com/  HYD
