[QUOTE="SolidWoodPanel, post: 3368246, member: 68397"] See, by my estimation, people really aren't much better off or much worse than they were 1000 years ago. What's got you so squeamish? North Korea, Islamic Extremism, Shootings in America? It's all been done before. My grandmother, RIP, used to say, "Oh, the world's going to hell." And I'd say, "No, you're just watching too much TV. Pretty sure the mafia was shooting people in the streets all the daily. There were a dozen or airplane hijackings in the 50s and 60s. Nazis ravaged Europe, the Soviets were sending Cuba Missiles. Charles Manson is notoriously charismatic. There's a sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll era, followed by more war, more drugs, a war on drugs, AIDS...History is nothing more than a record of death, destruction, and decay. And we celebrate it. All of us. You ever heard the joke about Good Friday? You think it was good for Jesus. You think he was yelling, "Thank God it's Friday," as nails were being driven into him [/QUOTE]
