Dark Ages 10of10 - History Channel

The once-powerful Rome--rotten to the core by the fifth century--lay open to barbarian warriors who came in wave after wave of invasion, slaughtering, stealing, and ultimately, settling. As chaos replaced culture, Europe was beset by famine, plague, persecutions, and a state of war that was so persistent it was only rarely interrupted by peace.

What's truly sad is, after all these years... after all this history, WE HUMANS STILL HAVENT learned a damn thing. We still fight, kill, plunder, raide, in the name of politics, religion and riches. We are our own worst enemy, and we will all perish as a species because of it. There will be NO light, no rebuilding, only the end of Human era. I use to wish for an alien lifeform to attack earth, so that all of us could unite against a common enemy. I've lost hope. Human kind is joke.

Oh I would just like to add two things. My previous post is in no way derogatory to the poster, thanks for uploading it :)

Secondly, its also sad to see, after reading the comments the amount of racism that still exists today. It's a little pathetic to read to be honest. Wrong's have been done on both sides. I think it's time we just gave us this ridiculous ideology that any one nation is better than another. It only causes more problems :)

Human kind may not have changed culturally, but life has gotten better, no one can deny that.

I'm going to create the rest of the colored ages. The violet hew age. The Green Glow age. The hazel nut brown age. The windy transparently clear age. And the ultimate age of them all: The techno-color multi-rainbow age. WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

@Efferbifdk

You're being really immature.

@fawkthepassword

Then you can start perishing the human race by killing yourself. because the amount of bullshit you vomited here is beyond measure. Yes, there are still wars and destruction, but at the same time we are developing. Livings standards, life expectancies, education, technology are all increasing rapidly. Very unequally, but they are increasing unlike in the Dark Ages where humankind was going backwards in civilization.

@fawkthepassword But remember that in 200 years, humanity has evolved more then in the 200 000 years before it. If our civilization stays healthy for the next 200 years, imagen were we will be.

I HOPE THOSE FUCKING MUSLIMS DIED PAINFULLY!!! :-D

[GLazz85]

@Azamspazam91 Excellent response...peace be with you as well brother

[Azamspazam91]

@GLazz85 Exactly. That tolerance for many cultures and groups is required for civilization to thrive. That domestic policy is what makes America and other European nations great.

There is a huge lack of tolerance in the Muslim world...sectarian divisions have been stressed because of a lack of central authority. The dissolution of the Khilafah in the 1900s destroyed by western nations was just about the worst thing you could do to Muslims. Khilafah will be back though :)

Peace be upon you :D

[GLazz85]

@Azamspazam91 Thats only half true. They conquered Jersualem which was a hub for many cultures. When you bring together many cultures things that work like medicine become popular amongst the whole. When the crusaders had gotten there they brought back information from that hub that was Jerusalem. You are right about western Europeans not being very smart tho.

@samita808 if they had an aptitude for such civilized things, they wont be Neo-Nazis in the first place.
