Yeah, but I wonder how the mediocrity principle applies to our mind-boggingly unlikely existence.

Poverty is good because it serves as example to keep the working class just that: working. Poverty is the media fabricated ghoul that lurks in every American dream. Have you ever actually SEEN poverty? Not everybody travels with a suitcase on the bus, some prefer grocery bags to hold their poo poo. LOOKING poor is a full time job for opportunists on the sidewalk expecting handouts for looking like the poors on the television.

It is really getting stupid that- even if you have to say something interesting - if you say it in gbs it has to be some bullshit low effort 'ironic' post. Add some spelling mistakes and you have a thread.

As an armchair liker of Roman History, I have to say that while there are tons of parallels, there are just as many differences, and trying to bullshit about history being a cycle and all that happens has happened in Rome or whatever is kind of silly. There'll continue to be more parallels, as well as more differences For instance, we don't really have a weirdo gladiator that uses a net and a spear, that we boo at.

One theory for America's declining violent crime rate over the past few decades is that we stopped using leaded gasoline.

That and there's plenty of bible verse that specifically attempts to insulate the faith from usurping prophets so there was no goddamn chance rome, east or west, would have ever willingly converted to islam.
