Controversial General Political Discussion

[Starbound Beast D. Draig]

Spartans were homosexuals for the most part.

Well I didn't delved into that specific part of history lol

 

[NikaInParis]

Spartans enslaved even other Greeks lmfao That 300 movie is such an effective Spartan propaganda.

Spartans were even a minority in their own region. They subjugated the majority population and for all intents and purooses used them as live target practice and training dummies for their young soldiers in training

 

[NAMELESS]

Rome was way more gay than Sparta lmfao

Definetily not. Spartans only married women for offspring. They spent most of their lives around other men. Roman homosexuality is overblown.

Their entire militaristic culture revolved around the fear of a widespread slave revolt.

Sparta as a city and state was really small, Rome was massive compared to it, and Romans pretty much invented modern Hedonism.

Just the sheer scale of Rome makes Rome way more gay than Sparta ever was, hell Julius Caesar was bisexual

 

[Worst]

Rome is the way to go.

Well I like their military oriented culture, if I got to survive all that BS it would mean I'd be tough as F!

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

If you ever find yourself in Croatia during summer do visit where I live, we have a whole week of dressing as Romans and having fights as gladiators

I'd choose Athens and stop the creation of democracy in its infancy

Definitely gayer than Greece. Most Ancient Greeks regarded homosexuality extremely critically, from the evidence, Romans were far more willing to have gay sex

Nazis and Communists belong in the grave, no quarter and no compromise with them

Farrighties liking the comment like

Not really, that is other myth. There was no such as especial spartan training. They weren't more military trained than other Greek states. The difference that every male spartan citizen was a soldier. They had strict laws regarding militarism too. Life in Sparta sucked for the most part.

Adult Greek married men would have young men they would "mentor" (read: have sex with them) and such relationships were the norm at the time.

He set up a remote at the Oval Office so that he could instantly order a coke by just pressing on it

Ok, i will agree with that.

They weren't really normal? There's one guy who's really excited about it and later changes his mind about pedastry as an abomination. It became such a concern, parents would hire bodyguards to keep their kids safe. That type of relationship is well recorded as being looked down upon by the Ancient Greeks.

Hell, there's more than a few that wholesale categorized homosexual relationships as "mental illnesses" back then.
