Before we go to war we consult the gods so that in every battle we fight we have the gods on our side.
our slaves out number us but we have a tight grip on them so they dont revolt also they are owned by Spartan citizen and they do our farming

Our kids are as tough and ruff and are expected to bear pain so they can beat your butt!
if we didnt get rid of some babies then we would've been over populated and end up weak, like you.
A reason our soldiers are better and stronger is that at age 12 they are sent into the woods for two years to experience pain and survival!!

while you were all debating we were training for war... hence the reason we are better...
Our woman run buisnesses, they farm, they have a right in our government. When the war comes, we'll try to go easy on you.
Please! War training is the only thing that matters. It's life and death. You apparently chose death.

We DO have an education!! We train in the arts of war! At least woman can participate in our education!
We have all the resources we need. We make our own stuff and we rely on ourselves, we don't need anybodies help!
I thought that athens was a place that was suppose to specialize in reading and writing?! Your statement doesn't make sense!
what? that doesn't make sense. What are you talking about?
We did have some slaves. We had classes and slaves were in the third class.
We have our own land and get to keep some of our crops and the rest we give to our masters, my friends and I never give up. THIS IS SPARTA!!

our government is a mixture of monarcy, oligarchy and democrcy... we got it all baby. snp crackle pop. rice crispys!
Our women are treated fair and equal to our men. They are tought to be tough and they train daily, so their babies can be strong.
we are ruled by two great kings. Decisions are made by the council, which vote for our five ephors that look over day to day life.
