It was the same in Greece, where our thoughts and traditions come from.
How do you have a Greek-inspired civil system without Greek-inspired people? Obviously - YOU CAN'T. So what kind of system do we really have?
[edit on 2-12-2004 by Arkaleus]
You have many misconceptions about ancient Greeks, man. Let me tell you a few things

These are classified by philosophers as feminine traits. Middle class public schools are becoming very hostile towards strong males, and have taken many, many actions to supress it.

What kind of boy are you? Are you one to stand with the free males? Do you have an understanding of a Republic, or Liberty? If you did, then you would not wonder at my words.

If you are not able to constructively add to this discussion of male virtue, then take your persecutions elsewhere.

Bring me the woman I have wronged.
Otherwise cease your accusations.
I am not speaking about individuals. I am speaking about the male and female traits of societies and people. Small minds cannot separate objects from abstracts.
I am speaking in conceptual terms. Male values vs. female tendencies. Are there female values? Tell us your female values, and grant us some dignity and respect. I have yet to find a single woman able to teach me her values, or give any kind reasoned philosophy to me. I know there are some who are capable of this, but I have not yet found one here.

Or do you wish to make a power play and intimidate me for my views? To put it lightly, I may speak of whatever I will, to whomever I please.
But if you continue to blindly accuse and persecute the female gender as a whole, then you'll only ever see what your mind has prisoned you with
Good, true intentions speak volumes to all and all listen and hear. Bad intentions are spoken through a confined tube and thus distorted and unclear, therefore only heard by few.

A republic's energy is generated by the Liberty and authority of her male citizens.
It was the same in Greece, where our thoughts and traditions come from. As long as there were strong men speaking and debating, and RULING their land as a band of brothers, no tyranny could ever emerge.
up or power could ever overthrow them, because they asserted their own authority, in accordance with their ideal of Liberty.
We have no sense of community among our own kind, American boys are deprived of the lessons, images, and words of our strong male forefathers.
We are conditioned to be adverse to persona of strong men, or any individual with personal will or authority.
Authority and will is only proper in the hands of government,
The bad guys in history have become the rich white males, we are forced in public schools to analyze their "faults and shortcomings" in a blatant attempt to destroy our heroes
Instead, our boys and young men are indoctrinated with the process of consumption
Education is given for this purpose only, the whole concept of school is given as the potential earnings of the graduates of high school vs. college, etc.
energetic and competitive games, running freely, exploring outside areas, rough and tumble, that is how you raise boys. That is how you create male minds able to receive and maintain a republic.
. Their "rights" are taught to them in terms of their ability to work and spend money, the greater concepts of Liberty and Independence are held back from them.
I strongly accuse the women in public education for this conspiracy.
I say they have hated male authority from the beginning, and they have struck against what they have hated for generations. They have committed a act of treachery against generations of boys. They have raised up slaves and servants, and stolen the inheritance of freemen.

A republic is generated by the energy of male minds. Without that energy of maleness, the governments become tyrannies.
. What I mean by this is that the collective will is emphasized over the individual, the emphasis is on control, comformity, submissiveness, and obedience.
These are classified by philosophers as feminine traits.

Drugs, rules, restrictions, laws - all these have been put in place to bind up the boys
We are the only where Liberty still clings on in the minds of a few men and women.

I don't think Arkaleus is insinuating women are to blame.
There simply isn't the energy and intellect to sustain it.
Great leaders are not allowed under this new world tyranny

How can you blame women when the America has never had a female president as ruler??

Ancient Greeks destroyed themselves in the exact same way US will do: they thought they were too powerful, and they blatantly blackmailed other cities to either 'protect' them or destroy them

The concept of male power in a Republic is almost wholly Greek, it never existed anywhere else to my knowledge.
