  1. He's both racist and anti-science. One of the core tenents of science is that anyone can acquire true knowledge about anything provided they use a systematic approach of study with reason and logic. It doesn't matter where you're from in the world. If you study another part of the world using academic principles and disciplines, you can become just as much of an authority on the subject as a native student from that part of the world.

  2. Spartans made banter into an artform. Even the young spartans were taught and encouraged to engage in banter, and the winner would be the one who made the most curt, poignant and witty comments. However, they were also taught that if their opponent told them they had been a bit too savage with their remarks, the banter would cease right then and there. So there was always respect.

  3. The omni-present "sexual connotations" with some academics is something we can thank Sigmund Freud for... He wasn't a scientist either.

  4. ​ @b_g_c3281 Right you are. I often admired this in the Spartans, and it's sort of the thing I like to do as well (although social media and it's community guidelines make it hard). I like to engage in debating, for the sake of sharpening my arguments and wit. And I think that's also what the Spartans wanted to foster in their young. Also unlike many people who abhor ad hominems, I get a lot of entertainment out of banter mixed in with the debate. When I get subjected to ad hominems it makes me smile and think "let's dance!" Again, something I imagine the Spartans got entertainment from as well.

  6. Tough masculinity and homosexuality aren't mutually exclusive. I'd like to see this guy end up in prison and then see him tell the hardened criminals in there that they're neither tough nor masculine because they take get their rocks off with "prison bitches". Actually scratch that, I don't want to see it. As asinine as his statements may be, i'm not cruel enough to want to visit that kind of treatment onto him.

  7. It's called Trump Derangement Syndrome, or TDS for short.
