I just learned what pederasty is!! WTF!!!!

[Arkitech]

Earlier today I was looking up info about Socrates and came across the term pederasty. After learning the meaning of the word I was a little shocked to say the least. It's hard to believe that there was a society that at one time accepted this as normal.

well, what does it mean dammit? i'm dying to know now

Didn't you guys have ancient history courses in high school?

Some day our progeny will look back on interracial relationships in the same way.

Wait, what?

So a 12-13 year old being butt assaulted is the same thing as a adult entering into a consensual relationship? You're either a racist or a moron.

Of all the stupid things that you have said, this has to be the dumbest, more ignorant of all.

In my high school they glazed over the whole pederasty thing.

A loving and consensual relationship between two individuals that have experienced puberty is the same thing as "being butt assaulted"?

Yep... Socrates did it to Plato, Plato to Aristotle, then Aristotle to Alexander the Great, then Alexander did it to a bunch of people at a bunch of places he conquered... back then it was the norm to become a man or attain manhood... in high school there was no mention, I first heard about it from my college philosophy professor and history professor... then I saw it briefly mentioned in a show on the History Channel...

Now a days the social norm to manhood is to pound a beer, shoot a gun/hunting, or lose your V-Card...

Thanks for telling me how much more fucked up (than I already thought) this world is.

Great

That didn't sound right.

 

[HydroSqueegee]

ohhhhhh... youre talking about the whole Greek thing where they pass around a prepubescent boy at parties... gotcha. yea. kinda strange.

 

[BudAshes]

Is this going to be sandusky's defense? "Come on your honor, I was just practicing the age old art of pederasty. "

The ancient version of crack addicts?

yeah. when talking the Greeks and mainly the Spartans we talked about it.

 

[manimal]

This practice is the true origin of the pedobear. Kuma as it was known in Japan actually originated in Greece...

greece is to buggering as the us is to freedom

There's an issue of the Sandman comic that is Emperor Augustus reminiscing about being the but boy to Julius Caesar.

by the way
before you start saying the bullshit about greeks
let point out a few laws
1)in sparta being homosexual was punished by death
2) in athens you loose all rights even slaves had more rights that homo people

it is all about a relationship and not a sexual one

in the ancient greece when thee wanted to say someone was gay
they said the person acts as a phonecian cause at that race they were all involved into homo activities

and before you say what in ancient greece if you wanted to say a woman a hooker you said she came from corinth. well you can imagine how faithfull the women in that city were. also there was a saying if you can not fuck in corinth then you can not fuck anywhere in the world

so lets the gay things for the phonecian
and if you have trouble understand relationships and words
go back to school to educate yourselves

There's not that much difference between a pre-pubescent boy from behind and a skinny girl from behind.
