The Middle Ages

So. I think that this day and age is pretty much, to an ugly degree, like the dark middle ages. We all look back and go, oh how lucky we are. But back then, i'm sure they were looking at themselves and going "well, this isn't so bad". "Why?" is the shout back I hear upon this statement, and this is why.

Rampant Disease - Back then hygiene was an issue. Now it isnt so much. But still, there are diseases. Back then, there was the black plague, there was small pox, there was leprosy and the list goes on. It was common occurence to have a sickness of some kind. Now, we have cancer, aids, bird flu, swine flu, macdonalds and the list goes on.

Plunder - Back then, to plunder would be to sack, to take by force a persons/ villages belongings. To plunder a village would be to strip it of its value. Now, we're a tad more advanced. People plunder their companies with forgery, fraud, etc. Then there is Iraq.

Sports - Back then, there were knights. Now there are skateboarders. Duh. Did you really think 22 people fighting over a ball would win a ladies heart? And dont start with Cristiano Ronaldo. The guy is pretty nifty with the ball. on his own. see? solo.

Sex and debauchery - Back then, them kings really loved all those ladies. Now, it varies, but the sex and debauchery is still there.

And those are just afew. Of course, the list goes on.
But I'm abit tired of the keyboard.
