Public Bathhouses are always better than catching the Black Plague
Biotoxsin
The plague existed back then too, and is thought to have effected the Romans at one point or another. (Started with the Egyptians)
JNmeister
@Biotoxsin yes but there are many different types of the plague, and sanitation was exponentially better in the classical era.
david
daily orgies
Okan Koç
being touched by older men, by force, when your young, not considered pedo. I still choose that over the plague
wartpig
the whole running water thing is the clencher.
iamdrebbits
Gods and Goddesses then were cool!
God of Knowledge
The God of Knowledge is pleased by your praise, mortal. May fortune follow you through life.
Freq-Sho
and if you invent something great in one time you're praised, if you do in dark ages, or hell even think differently, WITCH!
thestralpixie
The "Dark Ages" weren't actually dark. There were a lot of new inventions and ideas, but all people seem to remember is the Plague.
Rythmbot
Everything was controlled by the Church, new ideas were shut down, and if you disagreed, then you were burned at the stake.
Viperxiii
sigh... the church... always causing human population to slow progress with crazy ideas
Jason
youre thinking of the renaesance, the age that brought an end to the dark ages. the dark ages stopped all intellectual and scientific advance because of papal infallability.
Matt
That was actually the renaissance. Dark age was with the oppression of ideas and the control of the people by the church.
Hawke Kirschner
Yeah, all the innovation was being done by the Muslims... until Algebra was ruled by an ayatollah to be a tool of Satan, and they abandoned math and science as well.
wisdomi827
Are you retarded? The dark ages were horrible and had no progress. That was the renaissance!
nottie
Thank you! Guys, the Renaissance did not pop out of a black hole and humanity didn't fart around for a millennium without any progress - if that were true, the Renaissance wouldn't even be a thing. The Medieval period is the time of Charlemagne, the Vikings, the formation of England, the Mongols, the Magna Carta, the Ottoman Empire, the beginning of Universities, etc. etc.

They were called the "Dark Ages" because of the time of complete reverse in human progress back to times where people didn't know anything, or weren't "enlightened" just like after the Enlightenment that came after the Dark Ages. Ex of terribleness: I like science. I'd be killed for pursuing it because it's not me saying "God did it."
Franklin Chen
@nottie No one ever said that the Dark Ages was a worthless time period. We just agree that it would be a real shitty time to be in

Pedrodarigan
What kind of fucking question is this?
Lord English
They weren't called the dark ages for nothing.
Batman
The dark knight in the time of knights.
Diddly
Go back in time. Invent something mathematical. Be known forever.
Lavitts
I could save the knowledge in the library of Alexandria!

The Dark Ages were not actually that dark- in a lot of other languages it is called 'the fall' as in 'The Fall of Rome'. The Plague is actually closer to early medieval period not the Dark Ages, the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) still existed through the dark ages. I think people need to read more into periods of history.
LordMackarl
True, the Dark Ages is a pretty arbitrary period. Still, I like having a centralized government and good hygiene.
Emma Attaway
in the dark ages i owuld be burned at the stake for being a witch and for having an 'interest' in other women
Belén
High five, here another witch interested in women lol
Elizabeth Anne Attaw
@Belen (Emma here, alternate account) it really depends on which personality is active. depending on the personality i can be asexual, bi, straight or lesbian, or even attracted to someone for reasons taht totally exclude gender. it's destroyed all relationships i've been in

RoBoTZ

luke

Henrique Espada
Rome: come for the non-existence of rival powers, stay for the orgies
Belén
Orgies.
Maddie Padawanduck
Just would like to point out that it specified the time, not the place. There were some pretty amazing stuff happening in the world of learning in places that aren't Europe during the "Dark" ages.
LordMackarl
On the other hand, we could kick ass with Cao Cao.
zrayz0123
Be in a era where many wars happened and have a 80% chance of dieing or live in an era when many inventions were made and probably die in a 50-50 chance by the commen cold
FAGET
Both are the dark ages moron.
Franklin Chen
someone is a fucking history professor here...
bob
I'm black so it's not great both ways
Febe
You have more luck in the Ancient Romans/Greeks, because it w
Febe
...because it would less matter..
LordMackarl
Well, racism wasn't really a thing back there. You would still get discriminated, but that was because you were most likely a foreigner from Mali or Abyssinia.
itswinter
I'd hang out with the witches.
Salim Kaci
Orgies with tons of greek lesbians ftw
Max
how is this even a question?
tp12345
They're called the dark ages for a reason...
Jason
living in an age of sexual and intellectual freedom seems much better then living in the fanatically hindered time that was the christian dark ages
theTexan
Roman culture was actually influenced by Christians as time progressed and many Romans converted to Christianity. And Christianity is a wonderful thing, not bad!
Jett
Why would I wanna live when people were dying in they're 20s obviously the roman times except I wouldn't be a fag I'd be a spartan
MoAvise
This question is a joke.
xereeto
It doesn't say if you're rich or poor, but in the Roman times, rich people lived better.
brian
rich people have and currently do live better so i see no point in what you said
xereeto
Than they did in the dark ages. Sorry for the ambiguity.
Franklin Chen
Wtf? This is basically asking would you rather live in a less developed society with respect for learning and the arts or get sick and die
ZenAngelSinger
I'm a medievalist. Give me the Dark Ages anytime. I'd rescue books!
97ajf
Fucking kidding me?! The dark ages were one if not THE most shittiest time in human history!
IAMMOFOLICIOUS
I'd tell people I was the dovahkin!
Franklin Chen
they would be all like, " what the fuck is a dovahkiin?" but I realize that this a joke so whatever
BOSS SOCCER PLAYER14

swagga420yolo

swagga420yolo

Alfie Curley

I'm pretty sure that had I been alive during the dark ages, I would have ended up being burned at the stake.
