i think conan has it right

Master: "What is best in life Conan?"
Conan: "Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women"
The Horde: "AH YES! That is good."

What Conan said is a variation of a quote attributed to the very real Ghengis Khan.

 

[Bud Wiser]

For crying out loud, some people think any quote that sounds even remotely pithy is the deepest, most meaningful, life-altering thing ever uttered.

This one is pure garbage. It was cooked up by a screenwriter to provide some color to a movie character. In no way should it be taken seriously.

And it's mysonginist, to boot.

Here's the actual quote by Ghengis Khan:

"The greatest pleasure is in defeating one's enemies and watching their families cry, then laying down with their wives and daughters"~Ghengis Khan


Very similar to the Conan quote.

I was simply pointing out that the Conan quote is strikingly similar to the Khan quote. Why are you so bitter about this Bud?

Lighten up, man.

Many quotes purported to be "deep" are thrown out onto this forum and a few of them are worthless. This one falls into that category.

I will now "lighten up."

Some of the best warriors in history - Richard the Lionheat for example - were homosexual.

I think guys who aspire to kill other men for a living, are running away from something.

war is a part of who we are. you are the one that is hiding something. A real man takes what he wants in life because he is powerfull.

Hmmm... something in me can't conceive of Genghis Khan bent over, forehead on the carpet, fists clentched, teeth gritted, and screaming "Ohhhh Godddd yessssssss" in Mongolian while taking some dong up his a$$.
