  • You should definitely not feel bad about that. And please don't let the doomers on this platform influence how you feel about your decisions. They have a very negative view on the world because they are terminally online, don't go outside, don't see all the wonderful things life has to offer just around the corner or down the street. I mean, times are tough, shit happens, that's a fact. But kids actually are better at adapting to changing times than we are.

  • Don't ask me silly questions, I won't play silly games I'm just a simple choo-choo train, and I'll always be the same I only want to race along, beneath the bright blue sky And be a happy choo-choo train, until the day I die

  • The Canterbury Tales

    You see the theme a lot, sometimes quite literal, like Hyperion, sometimes just a group on an adventure where each member has a story, like LOTR. Also in movies like The Breakfast Club, Love Actually or Snatch

  • We are talking about the Roman era here, mate. The Romans conquered outside societies and enslaved them. Slavery in this context meant that these "foreigners" could earn Roman citizenship. There were some slaves that held higher esteem than some free citizens in the Roman Empire, most notably doctors.

    Slavery was not just whipping people to make them plow the land. It was a very complicated socioeconomical construct and it was very much a "normal" thing. In the late Roman era, slavery grew rampant (because it was profitable) and often children of poor, free citizens were kidnapped into slavery. But in the Roman high tides, around the time of Jezus, it was, for lack if a better word, a rather sophisticated process.

  • The equality of women is indeed a point where the bible failed, but you can't do everything right at once. I'm not a fan of the bible, but in it's days, it was a good book that taught good values. Values that were better than society was at the time and it really improved society.

  • Slavery was very much and accepted socio economical practice in those days. The mentioning the bible does are often not reminiscent of the 18th century slavery we're all familiar with. Slavery I'm those days was often a kind of servitude, for a couple years, tto pay off debt. The bible recognises that for what it is and tries to humanise slavery by saying things like to treat your slaves as your brother

  • Also, it is not the most fulfilling or rewarding if you have to always stay at home. You only have one life, you want to make the most of it. For most people that is not a stay-at-home-parent.
