If this thread gets deleted also, then I'll have my answer. If you are talking SL politics, probably not. If you are talking RL politics, then you're better off having the thread in the Off-Topic section, if at all. _____________________

No, but you probably won't get a discussion without having it degenerate into eye poking and nuggies, so be prepared to have a thread closure.

Dude, you are a true and good friend, and I love you like the brother that my mom claims she never had, but you are in fact acting like a flaming douche on white toast with a side order of dickknob salsa..maybe you should reconsider this course of action and we go find something else to do. |

If this thread gets deleted also, then I'll have my answer. Also? What other thread got deleted? I see one of your threads was recently moved to off-topic (where it belonged), is that what you're refering to? |

Politics:: Drivied from teh word Poly: meaning- Many and the work Tick: maning-small blood-sucking parasite. ~Jessy Not quite  If anyone cares, it's ultimatly derived from the greek word "polis", which means city. The word originated, I believe, with Aristotle's "Ethics", of which "Politics" was the... First? volume. Not that anyone cares.  _____________________

What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves, all; believe none of us.

I don't know if polis originated from the Nichomachean Ethics. Polis was the word for a city-state in Greece in which the center was the Areopagus. Been a while since I learned all that though.

Yeah, I'm not *positive* about where it came from, although I'm fairly certain it was Aristotle. And no, he didn't come up with "polis", but rather "politics". _____________________
