Best essay ever. Mark Twain. 'Nuff said.

*Horatio Alger is here pictured as the "Young Man" and Twain as the "Old Man" to contrast the wise Twain with the most foolish of his contemporaries.

  • sounds hegelian

  • @thesuperbeast46 In actuality, nonsense often makes the most sense. You just got to be smart enough to interpret it.

  • @thesuperbeast46

    Don't ya' just hate that ?

    You waste nearly fourteen minutes of valuable gaming/texting time to view some lame-ass video on this fucktard ( sorry . . . . fuktard ) Twain, hoping that the paper will just write itself, huh ? Now, ya' gotta' actually put this lame shit into your own words and ideas . . . . FAIL !

    Next time, don't wait until two hours before first period to begin your paper.

    Instead of getting pissed at Mark Twain . . go vent your frustrations on your parents.

  • fuck you mark twain!!! your quotes make no sense!!!

  • Mark Twain is right up there with the greatest thinkers of all time, i had no choice in writing this ; )

  • This was great. I kinda wonder if the prohairesis(google it) is still the master. Because it still wants happiness and suppresses desires.

  • it appeases me to hope your very well appeased by posting this!, and in turn, it do believe that nourishes me to thank you for doing so, :)

  • It's so good that you created this video. I loved it.

  • @aokjunebug91 : Most cops are masons. Should Hermann Goering's membership in the National Socialist party define him? You use the word conspiracy. Do you know its meaning?

  • @ThingsTerrestrial "Masonic cops", TROLOL! So you're back on Masons again? What about James Mason? Was he a problem, too? Anyway, my only point is that whatever Masonic conspiracy you might "detect" cannot be attributed to Mark Twain, nor should Twain's involvement in the organization (of which we know some) be considered his life's mission or even his passion (since we have more documentation of his philosophies through his fiction and nonfiction essays like the one I read and recorded).
