    Why is every famous spartan pithy line something they said before they got their shit rocked?

    “Come and take them” ok. Then all the Spartans die and all of their allies while the Athenians are destroying fleets and winning the war.

    “If” ok, the Macedonians fucking rock you and pillage your land you useless slavers.

    I fucking hate Spartans.

      People get most of their info about Sparta from that stupid comic. Athens was a slave state as well, but was basically the foundation of Western culture. All we got from Sparta are a couple of cocky one liners.

          Ah! This is convenient! I can finally settle this blood feude my father bestowed upon me on his death bed!

          I’ll just need your contact information and we can get this whole ugly ordeal out of the way.

      I mean there’s the whole institutionalized child rape and physical abuse thing to hate them for as well, but you do you.

        I mean I hate basically every aspect of Ancient Sparta. There is nothing I loathe more than slavers. Basically fuck most of Ancient Greece. But I hate the Spartans the most because I find their system loathsome.

      Well there was a trigger involved. It was on the firearm they stole when they came and took it from inside the truck.

    The AK is an interesting choice of rifle for that one, the SKS might have a touch more irony but still, being a little right wing trumpet sporting what used to be the symbol of the second world…

      These types dont know anything about guns, they may be able to shoot them but the background, development, and history of the weapon is of not relevancy to them. If I was to fix this graphic id swap the AKs with either a pair of Colt M16s or FNFAL, ya know the left and right arm of the free world. Also id center the damned image something this profligate was apparently incapable of doing.

        I won’t agree with anything you’ve said without further research, but I always appreciate the proper use of profligate.

    No, no.

    The challenge is “come and get them” and that implies you are going to stand your ground to anyone trying to do so.

      They apparently didn’t stand their ground and someone came and got them.

      Recently, it seems like standing your ground equals shooting through your door because there’s a non-white on the other side.

        Long gone are the days when people settled their differences up close and personal, risking their teeth.
