"Hobbes's definition was already debunked in several prior posts. "

Which has nothing to do with it.

Your words (cut and paste) were: "Thank you; you stand corrected."

I never took a position one way or the other on the statement: For Hobbes, the contract was an agreement between society and its government.

You can't correct me in regard to a position I have not taken.


"That's where thinking skills would serve you so well."

You've got a lot of gall saying that. The quickness of your response and it's quality indicate you didn't think at all.

I believe it was you who criticized my statement, much earlier, that "presumably, the other party is the government." If it was you, then you stand corrected: I was indeed quoting Hobbes faithfully. I was alluding to something much earlier in the conversation.

I wasn't debunking Hobbes definition at that time, because I'd already done so. Try to keep up.
