Pagans Are Idiots

Wow.

This thread SUCKS.

Two things I would like to add:

1. Rome polluted long before it became Christian.  The late Republic in particular was an awful time for the environment.

2. More social progress has come about since the Enlightenment then in the prevoius 3000 years of superstitious bullshit that preceeded it.  Magic is a cop out for the masses so they can play with candles and chalk instead of learning what critical infrastructure needs to be seized in an armed revolt and how exactly best to reduce the tyrannies of power.

1. Cain, can you help us think of a group of people that weren't dirty bastards?

2. Fucking sweet. I second LMNO's sentiment.

The Egytians were big on hygiene, as I recall.  Shaved all over and washed quite often for ancient people.  But then they made some fucking huge gravel pits.

[Thurnez Isa]

didn't the ancient gauls help invent soup?

[Cain]

"invent"?  Its hardly difficult.

Reminds me of roasting stuff on a fire. I always figured that was a case of Ug accidentally setting fire to his leg - "Hmmmmm Ug your leg smells yummy..."

Will somebody join me in a new trend i'm trying to start?

I want to start a new goth movement, but REAL goths. Basically we wear bear fur, get drunk, and raid villages (especially Roman villages). As opposed to todays fake goths we will not wear makeup, unless dirt and rage are considered makeup. Our jewelry will be pieces of our enemy, our tattoos will be battle scars.

Any takers? If not, next stop: Norse Worship.

I'm in...  Can we get stoned when we're not drunk and raiding the holy roman empire?

We haven't discovered weed yet (as far as I know). Rage is our drug.

[P3nT4gR4m]

Rage is a much better endorphin flush.

Rage > Pot, in ANY time period.

If we want to do a better analysis lets have a mock battle that never happen in history. Hippies v. Mongolians Hordes.

3 Khan era mongolian warriors could easily destroy over 200 hippies. A platoon sized element of mongols could overtake at least 2 Woodstock sized battallions of hippies.

you selling tickets to your hippie slaughter?

That has to be the only time I've ever see the words 'hippies' and 'battalions' used together like that. Suggest sending half a platoon. The whole platoon probably wont find enough enjoyment in 2 woodstocks.

*edited with a greater degree of sobriety. I think this is what I actually meant, although I have no feasible way of remembering.

[hunter s.durden]

You're on one side or the other. Those not wearing blood soaked fur and killing like a madman will be considered a hippie.

So our ratio then will be about 2 squads per Woodstock?

As long as I get one of those cool Mongol uber fuzzy fur hats with the point on top, I'm in.
