    The peculiar Institution vs Industrial capitalism

    So which system ultimately was better for the poorest or lowest people in the hierarchy?
    Remember slave farms rarely numbered over 20 slaves, whilst factories might have thousands of workers with only cash contracts and no other help.

    I never seen such a blissful picture of slavery painted - one that makes it the savior of the less fortunate, who having no probable chance of reaching a decent amount of wealth in his lifetime to live modestly is better off as being the property of another. Industrial capitalism in its first century did present difficulties in how to handle the massive economic and cultural shift in the western world but it did not take long before the clash of workers and capitalist resulted in movements forward. I do not think the question of weighing which was better is at all proper as they are hardly equal. The enslaving of men to be property for the means of labor is not the same as paying a worker a wage who is a free citizen with political rights.

    Archonsod pointed out the excellent topic of Socialism which shows clearly that since the first movements of the Industrial Revolution there were attempts at how to manage this new life and I think by looking into the lives of men like Robert Owen we can find that not every capitalist was as crude as a Dicken's character.

    Another possible debate may be Serfdom versus Slavery?

    Is Mythology the turth disguised as a Tale? or a Tale to disguise a Turth?

    Ah yes the dogmatic veil has been removed and I can see all that is now true! Mother earth and her civilizations were born from the bosom of a Turk - fools we are to think otherwise! Ancal teach us more! We must learn how the first humanoids who stood upright were actually Turkish and how all other conceivable things on this earth are Turkish as well.

    Surely the first of the Homo Erectus were Turkish and the Homo Sapians to follow as well? To all corners of the earth Turks spread and here we are now simply confused of our origins.

    Who are these banned/muted/warned people? (Discussion thread links in OP)

    If this thread could be converted into vertical height we could do some climbing.


    On another note, I have to say this lad did a fine job of jousting with Arch. It was quite romantic and most likely deserves a chapter in Ivanhoe or some other knightly tale. And oh how the poor rabble fell before the mighty hammer...

    The last is actually known as Wallace's Cave on account of him using it to hide from the English or something. To my inexpert opinion however it looks more like a 17-18th century cellar. It's the brickwork that gives it away.

    Brickwork does not explain the woman biting you. I have heard some stories of Scotland but vampires in caves is a bit too much for me. On a more relevant note would Scotland or England be a better first trip to Britain? I was considering taking a flight with some friends in a few years.

    Why Did the Roman Empire die off?

    I'm sorry, but I just cannot agree with you on this one. Might I ask where you are from, because I want to live in the Athenian Democracy, I just don't see it around me. I see Rome and many of the problems which destroyed Rome.

    You are deeply mistaken to compare the United States of America or any other present nation-state to the empires of antiquity at such a level of equality. We often pride ourselves in the ability of finding general trends in similarities to be exacts. I have no doubt any clever man can sum up the 'general' principles of civilization within a few chapters but that would hardly give proper credit to history.

    Now I think this topic is sliding just a bit off course.

    Are reeanactors often dressed too brightly?

    Some pictures of the event in question might help clear things up. Costumes at a well planned military reenactment is one thing, chain-mail swimsuits at the local 'renaissance' festival is another.
