Slick,
Is this the punchline?
"Even some American reviewers noted the political overtones of the West-against-Iran story line — and the way Persians are depicted as decadent, sexually flamboyant and evil in contrast to the noble Greeks."
Before Spartans are portrayed as uber-men in the heroic western mold I think people need to know Spartan men lived together in groups exclusively and never with women. And the men in those clubs had great sex with each other. The Spartans didn't have a whole lot of children who survived, thanks to their bizarre child-rearing practices. Because of that, and despite the massive use of slaves, the Spartan culture died out quite early. If ever a culture deserved the Darwin Award, it would be them.

Yep. I've often thought that people who see political overtones in absolutely everything are pretty funny.

What makes you think I 'constantly worry'? Do you have a problem projecting yourself onto others? Have you sought help for that delusional thinking?
Good Lord, Rue, can't we keep this crap in RWED? Geezer's just having a spot of fun is all.

Why do you keep posting in RWE? Can't you keep your crap out of it? No need to reply. Just having fun, is all.
Actually, my post was replying to Geezer's post:
"Does there really have to be a punchline? If no one else has to constantly worry about the arrival of a punchline and you do, do you have an obsession? Have you sought treatment for this punchline obsession?"
As I've mentioned before, I don't mind throwing it back.

As a proud Swiss-German American, I can tell that your rhetoric is obviously an insult against the proud heritage of...erm...makers of chocolate and clocks! There will be worldwide protests over this outrage, infidel!

Quote:
Spartan marriage customs fascinated other Greeks, who knew so little about them anyway. ... In fact, in sexual matters, the Spartans, true to their conservative outlook in everything, seem to have had the highest rate of monogamy in all Greece. They undoubtably had a high respect for their women and regarded them as having a greater equality than the Oriental approach to be found in Ionia, Athens, or Corinth. Also, contrary to the attitude that might have been expected among a warrior caste, homosexuality seems to have been little known--quite unlike the Thebans in northern Greece who were to make a cult among their soldiers of coulples fighting side by side together, as in the infamous "Theban Band of Lovers."

Listen, next time you post something like this, you better put a "humor" warning on it. I do not enjoy shooting milk out my nose.
