Thanks for helping me clarify.

Spartiates inculcated the type of reserve and manners we associate with Samurai, etc. This is perhaps a means of dealing with the fact that so many of your society are highly trained and well armed killers, not the place for casual insults.

Comparing the Spartans to the Samurai as you do is an interesting notion -- I will have to bear that in mind. Thanks Smile
