Yeah... True..

But we would be too if it weren't for Call of Duty and UFC.

Man... My brother just got out of prison. He did 7 fucking years. He rarely wants to talk about it, but when he starts telling me prison stories.. They are fucking gruesome man.

Every time I go to jail I get in fights... And I'm not even lookin for a fight. It's fuckin stupid.

Anyway... I don't know what made me think of all that..

You aren't taking into account what went into the foundation of Rome, nor what Rome has meant for the history of our civilization.

Dude, it wasn’t a good system. They had an emperor.
They then decided to make that a birthright to his children. It got out of hand to a point where there was a guy literally named Comedius.
“ the big joke”
The guy had no idea how to run a country. So he just wanted to make sure everyone knew he was the emperor so he constantly had the Colosseum running. At insane cost to the average civilian. He caused them huge amounts of economic turmoil to a point where he had to be assassinated.
Which continued the constant assassinations that happened for a long time.
Terrible systems involving a single person with all of the power focused on them, inevitably fail.

It was the pinnacle of civilization that we could achieve at that point. It is not a role model of how to run a civilization.

Rome was pretty advanced for its time, but it'd be a shithole by today's standard :shrug:

I think you'd actually be surprised how it really was to live in Rome. They just took life seriously. The Egyptians were even deeper with it. They really took it all the way. Take the Sacrifice on the Nile. They made events happen which would actually be so profound that they would make stories become true, which happened with Antinous drowning in the Nile, as the Egyptian legend went. It was planned. They knew what they were doing. They lived right on the edge of life and death, and took it all the way. That is how Caligula for instance could have ever devised such cruelty at the Colosseum. Most did not live like this, as it is now. It is actually almost the same now as it was then.

... Rome has 700 years of history preceding the Empire. And 400 years of Empire. There was such a thing called Pax Romana.

I feel like you’ve made this grand image in your mind. They were just like us man.
They had less access to knowledge than we do. It’s not like they had a better quality of life than we did. They died on average of 32.


Here’s some words of the people.
Looks a lot like the graffiti I can find downtown right now.

The average death thing is not accurately drawn. Plenty of people lived out their lives until old age in Rome. The books are full of them.

They use their pee to whiten their teeth. They also used it to wash their hair to make it soft and bouncy.

Which I think is hilarious. People got made fun of for having white teeth.

God, it’s so easy to get off topic with you blue, no!
Israel and Hamas.
I’m sure that’s going great.
Let’s hear about it.

What I think is based on what I have seen and read of primary sources concerning them. Imagination doesn't mean fabrication necessarily.

I'm pretty sure San Fransisco is the greatest city in the history of the world.   
  It has everything . The most beautiful  places , the most fucked up places ... open air drug markets .  You can be whatever and whoever you want to be .  You can shit on the sidewalk .
  You can be the gayest or the straightest freakiest highest motherfucker walking around with a needle hanging out of your arm just pissing all over yourself and no one will say anything to you . Or you can be rich watever you want .

The Romans also had a food/birth control that was the resin from a plant called silphium. Some people think the Catholics made it go extinct. Who knows.

No no no no you got it all wrong. You’re talking about Portland.

The Puritans made that go extinct.
The Romans certainly didn’t help. Nobody ever tried to cultivate the thing they just kept ripping it out of the ground by the roots.
