I think you've got a lot to learn chief, primarily in the bigger picture regarding any type of discussion or research. None of my points that I brought up were taken into consideration, nor acknowledged by yourself.<br>
<br>
And I am quite aware of your follow up post, it was the same repetitive, circular agruments which perpetuate discussions that serve no real purpose. Something we have tried to eliminate. Ask warrior11. He's the real pro at that. Since you are new here, you haven't bore witness to such matters.<br>
<br>
My opinion of germanic warriors is not as you've said it is. I would appreciate it if you wouldn't put words in my mouth. As for your statment concering my correlation between contemporary times and antiquity, some things change, others don't. It takes a perceptive person to figure out what is relevant and what isn't.<br>
<br>
None of your evidence particularily pertained to specific references of one on one, recorded battles with Roman soldiers anyway. You quoted Tacitus, and referred to the TW, but none of it had anything to do with this. You simply took that evidence, and inferred a superior skill in one on one battle. This isn't proving your point. It's stretching the evidence to fit your theory. I gave you other possibilities, especially concerning the TW, as to why the Romans lost. None were taken into consideration, though they are as equally valid as your own points.<br>
<br>
As you can see, this is indeed pointless. You stick with your story, I'll stick to mine. Like I said, I'd rather not debate opinions.<br>
<br>
I don't mean to come across like this, but this has been an issue here in the past. Too much has been theorized, or speculated based on evidence that has been open to interpretation by human minds.<br>
