Re: They had a better justice system back then
Another reason YOU need to get your facts straight. You must not have taken many classes in the area or read this in journals, the consistent message that this society was better than what we give it credit for, that there were a lot of methods to keep over exuberant displays of power in check, that these people did not not desire social mobility, that they were not overworked, overstressed, that they led easier lives than we did, enjoyed sex, enjoyed astrology. So it's not me who needs to get my facts straight, because I have a ton of evidence to back it up. If you compare it to the society today, those in power are not responsible for the lower classes. This is the society where we make laws against "aggressive panhandlers", so-called egalitarian laws against those who are driven to sleep under bridges, where corporations pollute our rivers and our environment and there are NO laws to stop them.
You pretend you know so much but you don't. And you stick by your views like a leach who is unwilling to consider anything else. I don't care about the West, I brought it up because you brought up class (again showing your ignorance that you know naught about that era, because there were no classes back then) and I merely said social mobility is what we demand today, but people were very happy back then.
Merely that. I personally don't care about what you think, because before I attended classes on this and read some articles, I believed as you did, that these people were oppressed and ignorant. How wrong I was. How very ignorant. Merely that.
