Ides of March
 

To those that dont know the story, supposedly Caesar went to a prophet and the prophet told him, watever he does to not go to work on the ides of march(march 14). He ignored the prophets warnings and went to work anyway, and on that day he was brutally murdered. So what do u guys think? Coincidence?

everyone I know is still alive. I went to school and work yesterday Im alive. The prophet was probably in on the murder and just had a guilty consence.

i guess thats a possibility. But if that were true wouldnt it have been easier just to tell caesar the truth, and prevent him from being murdered?

i'm sure there are lots of people murdered yesterday. so for some people, that march 14th thing would be true. for others it wouldn't.

is this for every march 14th, or are you just saying that the guy told him not to go on this day and he did and he died?

yes, im saying the latter.

"Tommorow someone on GroundForce one will have to use the bathroom!"


oooOOOOooooOOooooOOOoooOOoooOOOOoOOOO

I personally don't believe that any of that stuff is true, however I don't count it out.

That is much like my theories on god. I'm agnostic.

"An agnostic thinks it impossible to know the truth in matters such as God and the future life with which Christianity and other religions are concerned. Or, if not impossible, at least impossible at the present time."

I guess you could apply that to this type of thing as well.

That was just in the Shakespeare play, Julius Caesar.

In real life, we was just murdered on Ides of March by the Senators, there was no predicition stuff.

Re: Ides of March
 

are u sure about that? Im almost positive there was some kind of prophesizing or something involved...

I'm pretty sure that was just what Shakespeare added to the play to make it more interesting. Like the witches in Macbeth.

hmmm, interesting. Didnt know...

i'll take that bet sir, it's a good bet.

That is the age old question.

Some would say that you can't change your destiny, and that if someone could see the future, that future would happen no matter what you did to avoid it.

However, like you said, if I see the future and I change it, how can it be the future? Somewhat like the Grandfather Paradox.

Some people will also talk of an infinite number of parrallel universes where every possibility is worked out.
