The Discourse - 2019

whatever the literacy rate was in ancient Sparta circa 400 B.C. when the majority of the human race was illiterate, that didn't help the wolverine population which, by the way had a 100% illiteracy rate, from being slaughtered en masse and completely wiped out throughout all of Sparta (by the Spartans, of course). To this day, there are less than 2,000 such rodents in all of Europe.

The ancient Spartans were subhuman barbarian sadists.

The genocide they perpetrated against the Peloponnesian Wolverines had nothing to do with the Wolverines? literacy rate.

Ask any Athenian.


Or anyone from the "Athens of the Midwest".

At least when Stalin perpetrated genocide against the illiterate population of the Soviet Union, he did it with his mind toward the greater good of the people.

For of the Ancient Spartans it was pure blood sport.

The ancient Spartans were BAMFs and whatever they did to those pedophiles and child rapers, those Athenians got off easy if you ask me.

Are you sure you want to be known for that?

You've been misled by the same Spartan propaganda that would have you believe that wolverines are rodents.

Says the guy with a school mascot named for a people whose reputation for a low literacy rate has survived ~2,500 years.

Hmm ...I always thought the mascot was named after San Jose State, Norfolk State or UNC-Greensboro.

There was a period where Ann Arbor was sometimes called the "Athens of the Midwest". MSU naturally latched onto the "little brother" of Athens for their mascot, focusing only on their military prowess and rivalry with Athens and ignoring the undesirable educational stereotype.

Makes sense. Just took shuttle bus from rental car facility to PHX and the driver commented on my UM tag, saying something about Harbaugh. Suddenly, unsolicited and unnecessary the woman behind me goes, “well I’m a spartan, so....”

So, what? Who asked you? Like someone commenting on Chicago and being like, “well I’m from Milwaukee, so....”

Pathetic at all times.

According to Wikipedia, "the influence of pederasty on Greek culture was so pervasive that it has been called 'the principal cultural model for free relationships between citizens.'" It further indicates Spartan "customs were unsuitable to pederasty: a man might aim for idealized friendship with a boy but a sexual relationship was considered 'an obmination' tantamount to incest." While in Athens, "pederastia appears to have been a characteristic of the aristocracy." A byproduct of the higher literacy rates, no doubt.

as for the gulo gulo, does it matter that your little scavenger pest isn't actually a rodent when virtually everyone thinks it is?

No surprise you'd see one as indicative of a culture and not the other.



Same goes for your ideas about what "virtually everybody" thinks about wolverines.


If you can't be right, just claim that everybody says it's this way.

?Many people, lots of people, so many people ...believe me. Many people are saying ...so many people.?

it's not me who sees it that way, that came from Wikipedia.

no surprise that you can't take a joke - here I was thinking you had actually lightened up for a few posts.

allow me to save you some time before you go combing the osu and fla game threads for references to the maginot line to prove me wrong again - I was kidding about that too.

this is even less surprising.

You might be as bad at reading tone as you are at reading meaning.


Vic picked up what I was putting down.
