And as is inevitably the case... the left comes to demand that their opposition prove the negative... LOL>.. nothing says "DUMBASS" like ad ignorantiam...
(Sally is demanding that because there is no evidence that the Samurai were not a club for sissies... that the homosexual propaganda that she provided is evidence that they were, thus the void of data which stands to establish otherwise... which would require that one establish the entire history of the Samurai and point out that nowhere in that history, except in the submission noted above, is there any evidence that the Samurai was an organization for homosexuals... It should be sufficient for the reasonable observer to note that in the whole of the history of the Samurai and with all that has been written on the subject, that there is ONE book which was written by a homosexual propagandist that even remotely suggests that such was the case.
It follows that IF homosexuality was the core element of that which the Samurai were comprised, that SOMEONE would have mentioned it at some point before it became fashionable to paint the history of the human species with a shitty dick.)
:LOL:
FAIL!
yea, dude... I'd go ahead and take your entire ******* historic perspective from movies! Hey, Val Kilmer looked JUST LIKE DOC HOLIDAY!
Gay Tales of the Samurai by Saikaku Ihara, translated by E. Powys Mathers.
Gay Tales of the Samurai was written by the renowned author Saikaku Ihara (1642-1693) who recounted many tales of Samurai life from this period. The tales are said to be real accounts from life, and certainly many of them, particularly the last, read more like gossip than a constructed story.
To understand this book, you have to understand how different the world it grew from was. To quote Henry M. Christman in the introduction:
The year was 1687.
In England, King James II was on the throne, shortly to be overthrown by William and Mary. The rising young author was Daniel Defoe, whose famous work was to beThe Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe.
In America, a handful of English colonies were clinging precariously to the Atlantic coastline. William Penn had just concluded a peace treaty with the Indians.
In Japan a ten-volume illustrated work entitled Glorious Tales of Homosexualitywas published.
Japan had long had a tradition of homosexual love. As with the Greeks before them, if featured love between youths, past puberty, but before becoming official men, and their older lovers. While there was a definite physical component to the romances, they were viewed to be for the purpose of instructing the young men in matters of honor and excellence. Bravery and Ardor went hand in hand in the warrior society.
Another component of these romances was the very nature of their impermanence. Just as the cherry blossom bursts forth, exquisitely beautiful, more so because its beauty lasts three days and fades, so is the beauty of youth. A young man, when he cut his bangs (the sign of being under the age of Adulthood, might not be pursued any longer, and will in fact, join the ranks of the pursuers.
That said, there are many tales that do not focus on the cult of youth, but are among men of similar age.
