Rome Is On Fire

[tony4moroney]

I figured I'd post a bit of world news even if it's a touch belated.

Greece Is On Fire

Is this because they're godless, sexually reprehensible and were once sodomites?

Thoughts.

No. I'd say that the ARSONISTS and long period without rain are probably the culprits. But that's just me . . .

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

None of which is historically accurate. ;)
And if you really want, I will tear Gladiator a new one, piece by piece.

Homosexual relations and pederasty was a societal norm then whereas today there are laws in states that ban sodomy and pederasty is an illegal practice today.

many states have implemented a constitutional ban on same sex marriage and civil unionship. and i would hardly consider pederasty a norm today. we legally consider this practice Statutory Rape.

And Rome was ultra conservative compaired to greece.

Does that negate the fact that greece was under roman rule for nearly 200 years?

I'm thinking that pedastery might become popular again in maybe 50-70 years. [And i knew what it was before i saw that link; infact i've seen that link before]

Should I point out now that I'm a surge of testosterone away from sticking up for the honour of my Greek ex-girlfriend (and, therefore, all Greeks) in some long, rambling, overly paragrahed way? Especially as she's Peloponnesian...

What statement/s has incited this? what has offended the honor of your ex-girlfriend's heritage?

The implication that she wears a leather pair of Y-fronts and a cape everywhere she goes, of course!

Throwing links at the guy who majors in Greece and Rome......yeah, kudos to you......

Yeah, and what you DON'T seem to understand is that those relations in ancient Greece were not specifically sexual in nature. In many cases the relationship was either never openly acknowledged or served other functions.

The Spartan Agoge was a Pedastic institution, obviously military in nature. One could argue that the modern military training system still carries this heritage.

when i said rome i meant the roman empire. i suppose i shouldve worded it more appropriately.

You think?
