    Hi, I am writing a paper in my latin class on who is the better Roman, Cato the Elder, or Scipio Africanus. I would appreciate any thoughts, and if you could cite your sources it would be nice because I am required to have a works cited page.

    thanks

    Scipio, of course. Cato was a mimbo.

    I dunno. The last time we essentially wrote somebody's term paper for them, they refused to credit gullible.info for their information.

    They didn't give Nirominius Klimbus as an option??

    Considering they are both (most probably/hopefully) dead, I would think the correct question would be, who /was/ the better Roman. Right now they're both rotting in the ground somewhere, so the comparison would be fairly useless.

    Well obviously Scipio Africanus. He defeated Hannibal after forcing him to return to Carthage. Hey, we're talking about the better Roman, not human.

    Nah -- they are well beyond the rotting stage. They are not even dust. They have been reconstituted after becoming worm food or something like that.

    Good point.

    I remember an article pointing out how everything is pretty much recycled matter. So we've got pieces of dead things that constitute us. I hope I have pieces of dinosaur.

    There were no dinosaurs. There are only dinosaur fossils that God made for us to find so the unreligious among us would think there were dinosaurs back before the world was actually created.

    There could have been dinosaurs, without neccesarily contradicting the Bible. They could have just been mostly wiped out in the Flood. Biggest point of conflict is the whole age thingy.

    But that's starting to get into a religious debate, and I think there's a thread for that =).

    Oh no -- it's not religion. It's *intelligent design*. totally different thing.
