      From: jtem01@gmail.com              I have never seen anything to suggest that the Romans were any more "Brutal"       than other cultures.              Hello? Boudica?              The Teutoburg Forest?              Even the bible had the Jews of the Roman period stoning uppity women to       death...              It was a brutal period in human history. Period. The Romans were only       "Brutal" in comparison to modern cultures -- and even then not all modern       cultures -- but not the least bit "Brutal" in comparison to their peers.              Actually this is pretty typical of the worthless "Facebook" generation, where       is judges the past by the standards of the present, believing that this makes       them all visionaries.                                                               -- --              https://jtem.tumblr.com/post/681475087810052096              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
