Japan Vs Cat


Aristotle once asked, If a British born cat tried to backpack across Japan, what what said cat look like. Today, on a windy Sunday evening in the heart of Suffolk, that question has finally been answered.

It's a shame I'm such a bastard cause I'm actually putting the cat on a plane to Havana.

Aristotle never asked that question. He didn't even know that Japan existed. In fact, Japan didn't even exist. Aristotle posed meaningful questions, like "why is it that by nature people decide to live in a political community?" and "how do we acquire our sense of morality" and "what must humans do to achieve the greatest good: eudaimonia?".

That said, if Aristotle were alive today, he no doubt would have posed the very question you presented to us and would be thrilled at the answer. His next question would be: "How is it that a cat can dress himself in a cap and place important navigational objects and holiday fare in his immediate surroundings?" "Indeed," he would continue, "how is it that said cat has been habituated to use a compass when by his vary nature he lacks the dexterity to use such an object."

Aristotle was smart man indeed, testiment through his complete dissing of Plato, who - incidentally - was an utter fucktard.

You talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?

Aristotle posed this question on page one, YES! PAGE ONE of his work ' The history of animals'. I must suggest in the future you do your reseach.

No it's not.

I've searched the whole book on Google and there are only three mentions of the word "cat", the most notable of which is on page 117 when Aristotle says, "and, by the way, the female cat is peculiarly lecherous, and wheedles the male on to sexual commerce, and caterwauls during the operation."

Seriously; check it.

Aristotle should have written comics too.

It mentions it in the print version. Go to your local libary.

By the way your mere suggestion that a cat is unable to use a compass for its sheer lack of dexterity only clarifies to me that you are indeed nothing more than a common racist. I supose next you'll be telling me the cat has no use for binoculars because of its missing oposable thumbs.
