Me and my supernatural threads....
I really think it existed, and I've narrowed it down to two places. The Island of Santorini (perhaps Minos was mislabeled? Minos had the same fate as Atlantis, much of its landmass was sunken by a large tsunami) or the Azores (Plato said that Atlantis was located outside the Pillars of Heracles, aka the Strait of Gibraltar, and several ocean surveys say that there is a large sunken mountain range outside of the Strait, with the Azores as the peaks).

*sigh* havent we got more important social questions like "why are the poor getting poorer and the rich getting richer" and why is 75% of the wealth of britain being controlled by only 10% of the population, than asking ourselves "oh lets go look into this magical city. do you think itll be like Hyrule in Wind Waker", jesus christ and people think im bad for the politics i put into posts:rolleyes:

Wow, that had absolutely nothing to do with the topic. And I don't know what Atlantis has to do with politics...

you proved my point perfectly, but you cant read, thatd be why you didnt understand me
Discussing Atlantis is pointless. Its stupid, and my point was, there was more important things in life. And just plonking this dead end thread is people looking for more posts on their Post Numbers, and that like I'll go randomly talk about politics, you'll go randomly talking about a myth.

Good point. Though that is begging the question why am I contradicting my previous statement, but it also begs the question why are you contradicting yourself ^^^

You're making calling someone a deucebag over the internet sound like I raped a handicapped woman.

It is if you put it in the terms of this is a forum, not real life, but like real life, you break the rules you get in trouble (though i'm contradicting my anarchist beliefs with that).
I'm the 14 year old. You're the 23 year old. Don't make me the one who's more mature, as it is at the moment

You and I are the same age.
Oh, and I do have standards. I am above creating a lonewolf account. ;)

Lonewolf account? Whats that? As in, I'm on my own. Well yeah, I don't generally make accounts with another person.
And if we're the same age, then why did you lie and on your profile it says 23? You say you have standards, but you are a liar.

It doesn't really matter to me what my profile says, I usually just pick a random date.
And a Lonewolf is a second account that someone makes, usually after they are banned.

The admin can log my IP, and check it against other accounts. Considering I've been here longer, to suggest that is not only offensive but untrue. Look, you gotta stop posting these comments, cos everytime its reported, and to see a fellow RB fan banned is not a good thing.

Yh, but me and you were just laughing, remember some guy went "stop it you two" and I said "well he started it :P j/k just having some fun here", and thats what debate should be, fun, not flaming.

A) Communism will never work
B) Atlantis.... the trick with this is seperating fact from fiction.

Off-topic. We did a global economics discussion, or if you want to, send me a PM. But, Atlantis... yeah right :rolleyes:

What is so crazy about the idea of an island being sunken that makes you not believe it?

If I could have some evidence, i'd happily (when I have time) read it and make a more reasoned decision.

Yes however, I believe that Atlantis wasnt exactly called Atlantis. I believe that there is a sunken city of Atlantis' description, but with a different name. When I took my Greek and Roman Humanities course, I discussed this topic with my professor. He and I might as well have lit up a join and passed a bottle of Jack around too, because this conversation we had got REALLY philosophical...lol.

Yeah, I'm sure Plato would've given it a more majestic name for his book.
