Why do you think this is so?

Answer 1

You can find a list that supports just about every theory you can postulate, but it may be true that philosophers are more prone to be opinionated and voice their opinion with enough eloquence to piss people off, making them more likely targets for trouble. Only slightly more likely at best though. Philosophers have considerable detachment which makes them less likely to interfere in a pragmatic way with those they oppose theoretically. This means whereas they talk a lot they do very little of consequence so they are not worth killing more than people of other occupations, like tax collectors or meter maids.

Answer 2

i go along with the answerer who asked you to check your
facts. i too think that they could be wrong.
And if you find that they are correct,then you must check the
list of "eminent philosophers".
Some lists-of-eminent-philosophers do not include some
who are less-that-eminent,or they do not include philosophers they have not read(about).

Any planned destruction of human existence is seen ethically or morally incorrect and is no longer seen to be mitigated by using any reward to others, as such reward are coming on the price of the existence of a individual. each and every now and then, this perception extends to opposing abortion of fetuses that ought to practically fairly expire interior of a quick time after start, mutually with anencephalic fetuses.

Philosophers tried to reveal the truth. That's why! Others could not just accept the reality. They think philosophers don't know nothing.

Answer 5

In a word - nonsense. This line was meant as a humorous quip with not a little satire. Clearly this is patently untrue.

Answer 6

I personally believe that those in power (the ignorant religious reptile brains) are afraid of the higher awareness, we thinkers possess, the truths we know; so they knock us off one at a time if we won't conform.

Answer 7

Anti social behaviour

Answer 8

Nonsense. I think you need to check some other sources.
