Is the World Worse Today...

Than any other time in history? Personally, I think not when you consider the Romans, Mongols, Persians, Babylonians, Nazis, Sodom and Gomorrah, etc... Pisses me off when people talk about how much worse the world is now... Truth is if they had the same media coverage and universal connectivity back then that we have today they would think the same thing.

It is the best it has ever been.

Not even close. Pretty sure crime rate is an all time low

Quit making excuses. Everything is shitty, you know it's shitty and it's only getting shittier.

Crime is down.
Annoying people are up.

That's exactly it. Media brings every bad thing to the front of our attention that years ago would have just gone unnoticed.

I'd love to transport anyone who thinks this back to the Siege of Baghdad or in a Spanish Inquisition torture chamber for starters.

Not at all,
But them folks on the Homosexual/Racist board would probably disagree.

Can you imagine the sheer anguish of being accused of sorcery or something in the dark ages and being sentenced to some horrific torture device?

None of those places you mentioned had to deal with shitty cellphone coverage or rude waitresses. We have it rough too, you're just romanticizing our shitty place in history.

It's the same world I've lived in for 50 years. You just hear about everything because of this social media bull shite.
Posted on 4/2/15 at 6:53 pm to Hoyt
No, but you can thank 24 hour news channels for making it appear it is worse.

Definitely. Air conditioning and missing out on the big polio and smallpox boom really sucks.
