Re: We are quickly going the way of Rome...

Yes indeed

I've always felt that the only difference between ancient rome and todays society is that we can simulate violence so well these days in movies with special effects that we don't actually need to feed anyone to the lions...just make it look realistic enough

There is ALOT of money and work put into simulating violence and I find the appetite for gore is only growing.

It's ridiculous that I could have a huge collection of Quentin Tarantino movies and no one bats an eye lash, but if they knew that I recognize the capability that children have of being sexually attractive then all hell would break lose.
