You're like Pika310... you must be flame-sensitive. That wasn't flaming... if I need to flame you... I can always do it on IM or face-to-face... no one here on Realms needs to see that. Just remind me to kick you in the nards tomorrow at the City Champs.
Speaking of... if we only get 6 players... I will burn all my VS cards.
My professor proceeded to rag on the Spartans and asked the class "Who would want to be a Spartan." Obviously, I stood up and declared my desire to be as savage as a Spartan.
You do realize that the real actual Spartans, as opposed to Frank Miller's Awesome Fantasy Spartans:
A) were generally #######s who abhorred the connection of family ties
B) had lots of slaves of their own and didn't really care all that much about "freedom"
C) were notorious pederasts just like everybody else in ancient Greece
D) despite all their militaristic pretensions really weren't all that much more awesome than the other Greek armies, particularly the Athenians (who are the real reason the Greeks beat the Persians - the Athenians beat their asses solidly at Salamis in a naval battle that actually won the Pelopenesian War) or for that matter the Thebans (who absolutely destroyed the Spartans in 370-ish BC with citizen soldiers - yes, the same citizen soldiers both the real and movie Spartans made fun of).
E) were, militarily speaking, idiots - that hoplite shield wall was the only thing they knew how to do, the only thing they had the imagination to do, and they got lucky that Thermopylae happened to be a good place to use that strategy. (They tried to use it against the Thebans. The Thebans destroyed Sparta and consigned it to history. Point, not-the-Spartans)
F) and not-so-conveniently had fought with the Persians earlier in the war against the Athenians.
For the love of....THIS is re-railing. If I said Rush Hour was the comparison of oppresion that asians felt much harsher than africans, would you guys babble for 4 straight pages?!

(Just kidding. I know the Spartans were the awesome IRL, but in the movie, they are bad muther funkstas.)
