This is hilarious. It's an intrinsically funny image. I'm not sure if it's just down to Payne drawing the cop so doofy or if the arrangement of the telephone poles or the colour green have a hand in it too.

Yes, that's why all of his philosophy we got from Aristotle, writing it down.

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for
authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place
of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their
households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They
contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties
at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."

You got the wrong dead Greek guy. It was Socrates, the teacher of Plato, who detested writing. Plato wrote Dialogues and Republic.

Indeed, Socrates never wrote anything and it's been debated how much of Plato's writing is actually him or just Plato using him to give his own work more authority.

Aristotle is Plato's "best student" who left Athens in a huff when Plato left the school to his son instead of Aristotle. Aristotle was wrong about nearly everything and thought some people were just naturally born to be slaves.

He had some good ideas about how to write plays, though.

I blame Facebook for the bad compression, and myself for not bothering to hunt down a higher quality image.

These are honestly amazing to see next to each other. The difference in quality is incalculable.

Looks like it wasn't a real ancient quote.
http://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/05/01/misbehaving-children-in-ancient-times/

quote:

It was crafted by a student, Kenneth John Freeman, for his Cambridge dissertation published in 1907. Freeman did not claim that the passage under analysis was a direct quotation of anyone; instead, he was presenting his own summary of the complaints directed against young people in ancient times.
