Yes but you are comparing apples to oranges here.  The Greeks of the Iliad were of the Heroic Age while Euripides was a playwright in the Classic Age.  In the Heroic Age virtue wasn't defined by kindness, compassion or honesty.  A virtuous man was strong, fearless and resourceful.  The reason why I picked Achilles is that he stood out from the others.        

  I must have misunderstood what you said.  In any case I still believe that the SJWs are more influential than the KKK are at present (both on and off campus).   In 2019 the KKK have no power and I don't know of one person who would want anything to do with them.  I also didn't catch where @WiccaChica stated that the SJWs are more influential than the KKK ever were; my impression was that she was talking about the present day and not present day SJWs vs. 1920s KKK.  Perhaps I was mistaken?    

  Oh Jeffrey boy!  Have a look here.   The Next Generation of Americans (Gen Z) May Be the Most Conservative Since WWII Why Democrats Should Be Losing Sleep Over Generation Z http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3790614/They-don-t-like-drugs-gay-marriage-HATE-tattoos-Generation-Z-conservative-WW2.html https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2017/07/13/prof-gen-z-more-conservative-millennials/ Generation Z’s Rightward Drift   Damn those 18 year old grandpas! Who do they think they are messing with young and hip 60 year olds!    

That pretty much sums it up.  You're new here but just to fill you in El Zero thinks pretty much everybody who disagrees with him is some sort of paid Russian troll sent by Putin to ruin his happiness.  If you stay away from politics he, at times, seems like a half decent guy but as soon as you counter his worldview all hell breaks loose.  The problem is that his raison d'etre is so closely tied to his view of the world that I suspect that a slight contradiction of one of his axioms would result in a nervous breakdown (if you saw the movie Monkey Trial you would know what I'm talking about).  That's why he shuts down and yells insults whenever somebody attempts to debate him; my theory is that it's some sort of defense mechanism.   But don't waste too much time on him.  He's a 50+ year old nobody whose ramblings are best seen as background noise.  He tries to be edgy but for somebody 20 years younger than him, like myself, he simply sounds like a grumpy old fart yelling at "young punks".      

  Dude your really losing it here and taking this way too personally.  I've read your debate with WiccaChica and balticus and though you seemed to be calm and composed at the beginning you've started to slip and now you're saying some things that outright false and deliberately misinterpreted.  For example you claim that WiccaChica is defending the KKK and authoritarian regimes which is utter nonsense.  You're using whataboutist arguments and you're also saying that the KKK are more influential on university campuses than the left is which is absurd.    Before you try to pull the same argument on me, you should know that I went to elementary school, high school and university in Canada and traveled quite frequently to the States.  If you want to have a reasonable discussion bring it on but you're going to use the same false statements against me as you did against WiccaChica or balticus then you have lost all credibility.

LOL you've just made a ground-breaking discovery:  celebrities are scum and hypocrites.

It wasn't Weinstein or Hollywood who created this prototype.  The same type of man was idealized in ancient times as well.  Think about Hercules, Achilles, Gilgamesh etc.  Hollywood simply chose this type of hero because that was what people saw as being an ideal man.

I guess some parents over-schedule their children's extra curricular activities.  When I was kid I practiced martial arts and played baseball, the latter only in April - September, and doing this 3-4 times a week put a strain on my parents (when I was a teenager I could go alone).  However I know some soccer moms that schedule 4-5 activities a week for their children and if they have 3 kids then no wonder they're stressed out.  However men are willing to forego sleep.  

For those still in denial that the media doesn't engage in some sort of fake news narrative just look at the recent Covington Catholic school example.  Instead of actually doing some fact checking they engaged in a smear campaign against a high student who was simply smirking and wearing a MAGA hat.  It was also rather a coincidence that the media initially left out who was yelling racist taunts at the high school students, Hebrew Israelites, who are a black supremacist group.   At least this Atlantic contributor admits to being in the wrong:  I Failed the Covington Catholic Test   Yes some outlets have apologized but this seems to be a frequent tactic: create fake news, incite a lynch mob and then apologize after the damage is already done. Just look at some of these Twitter reactions, calling for these kids to be doxxed and even killed:       I think these two people are terrible human beings and they don't care whether or not these children actually did anything.  They just want blood on their hands.  However it was a false media narrative that steered them in this direction.  Furthermore why was this even news?  16 year old smirks at a 64 year old man...    

    The Media Wildly Mischaracterized That Video of Covington Catholic Students Confronting a Native American Veteran   I also didn't see where the kid, who the lynch mob want to hang, insults or assaults Phillips.  This is just one example of a fake news narrative being pushed to rouse the rabble.    

hehehe  lucky for some of us.  Not so lucky for the rest. 

Are you sure about this?  I mean I've seen studies say the same thing but from what I've seen women in their 30s and 40s, at least the married ones and the ones with children, tend to be so overwhelmed with tasks that their sex drive goes down as a result.  Women in their 20s are a totally different story.

I don't know what movies you watched as a kid but the Harvey Weinstein type was never seen as a role model for boys.  Typical masculine role models included J.C. Van Damme, Arnold, Clint Eastwood, Chuck Norris etc.  These men, or at least the characters they played, were physically strong, unbeatable in combat, always calm and composed under pressure, never gave up and at the same time they protected women, children and those who couldn't fight.  They were the men that little boys dreamed of becoming.  Not some fat sleazy Hollywood executive, who by the way was a male "feminist", who had to resort to blackmail and exertion to have women sleep with him.    

That easy huh?

You swear like a sailor?  I must say I wasn't expecting that.  I pictured you as being polite and well mannered.  I see you have a bad girl side.
