"What I would and wouldn't do with your tight twink body is none of their business. But seriously, I would fucking destroy you." - Xenomit
My favourite was Aristotle he told us many great things such as how women are just demented men and how the solar system revolves around the earth
I think Ayn Rand is a pretty cool guy. He thinks all poor people are freeloaders and doesn't afraid of anything.
In no particular order here is my top 3.
Wittgenstein
Kishnamurti
Joseph Campbell
St. Thomas Aquinas, followed closely by Aristotle.

Ayn Rand was a woman, as well as a hypocrite who died on welfare, but yeah Ayn as in "Anne".
For me though it'd have to be Bruce Lee, and if you say he isn't a philosopher you haven't read his works. Interesting enough, it's his birthday today. Try reading "Tao of Jeet Kune Do".
"The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering."
If anyone says Franz Kafka I will punch you in the throat.
Yay, more jokes!
Machiavelli, not because I have any idea what his philosophies are about but because I have a shitload of inside jokes about him that make absolutely no sense
I might go with Confucius on this one, he has a lot of useful advice, but there are a lot of other great philosophers.
"An oppressive government is to be more feared than a tiger." - Confucius
"Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do." - Voltaire
"Is man one of God's blunders? Or is God one of man's blunders?" - Friedrich Nietzsche
"Men create the gods in their own image." - Xenophanes
"He has the most who is most content with the least." - Diogenes
"You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try'." - Homer Simpson
Joseph Campbell helped put a lot of heavy shit into perspective for me...and thanks to him, I hardly worry as much as I should.

lmfao.
I'm told it was Socrates:
BBS Mod, PM me if you have something to report.
Plato, because his name sounds like Play-Doh, which is clearly evidence of his ability to prophecize
Just kidding. Allegory of the Cave FTW.
Perhaps one of the greatest philosophers of our time:

No, is it any good?

Like you know I know more about the pussy than anyone you ever met, but this book still managed to blow my mind.
Like I'm completely straight, 100% heterosexual
Ok, I will look into it. Maybe after reading this I can finally become knowledgeable in things that real men know about. Thank you esse-saqwert.
My favourite philosopher is George Washington he espoused freedom, good values and he never lied

Crazygiraffe is an Anglo-centrist, as well as a prude who can't recognize or look up memes. Also, Ayn Rand called selfishness a virtue, and she took every penny she could from public welfare programs that she couldn't destroy. That's pretty consistent in my book.
The simple fact is that some people will never be happy, no matter how good their lives are.

But they're right.
Pretend not to care about anything, but be bothered by everything.
You may be fast on the roads but it's no use on the track.

Modern "philosopher", yes.
This is my signature. It is a nice signature.
I personally like Jerry Sandusky. One of the most smart and innovative people i ever met. He was, and still is a great inspiration.

Karl Popper is my favorite. He put science into perceptive for me.
My logic has a tendency of getting me getting stuck in the middle.
