then please explain why you cite them and thermoplyae? 
this is gonna be a good one i can tell...
...getting tired of correcting your misconstrued misreadings of simple points.
I'm making the point that the most feared, legendary fighting force in history practiced enforced, universal male homosexuality.
So, being homosexual doesn't preclude being a good soldier... based on the most extreme example in history. I haven't advocated anything.
Again: You inferred something that was not implied.
For the second time: my reference to Thermopylae was in response to headhuntersix questioning whether the Spartans could justifiably be deemed the most feared fighting force in history.
He wrote:
The most feared military force in human history huh..I'd say thats a pretty bold statement...first off its untrue..second I'd say a Roman Cohort or an SS Panzer Division...how about the Foreign legion...Gurkhas....u speak of historical absolutes to make a point that is ridiculous....much like ur poor debating skills, ur historical skills also lack. U couldn't argue that the sky was blue in complete coherent sentances if I put a gun to ur head.
I quoted his silly argument and answered, succinctly:
One word: Thermopylae.
...none of that was directed at you. No one is talking to you.
Learn to read.
Your arguments are spurious and childish, yet you insist upon attacking points that haven't been made; claiming I've made claims I never have and taking personal umbrage at points OBVIOUSLY not directed at you.
Look at the foolishness you have polluted this thread with:
-I argued that the Spartans are the only example from history of a fighting force who had mandatory homosexuality... you countered this by foolishly claiming that I was advocating homosexuality and by extension every single aspect of Spartan culture; including slaver and infanticide.
That's just plain retarded... it's embarrassingly poor logic and exemplifies very poor reasoning and reading skills.
-You argue gays shouldn't be allowed in locker rooms with straight men as it impinges upon their privacy
I pointed out that there are gays in every locker room, and if you want separate locker rooms for gays and straights then by that logic you'd need an individual locker room for every bisexual. You fail to comprehend this fatal flaw in your argument.
-Now you are arguing that my terse one word answer to HH6 "Thermopylae" doesn't have any relevance to "military prowess"?! That's just plain embarrassing.
You sir, are a damning indictment of the American educational system.
