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.

daily orgies
Okan Koç
being touched by older men, by force, when your young, not considered pedo. I still choose that over the plague

I was just thinking about the society, not being told what to do by the church and things like that, was not even thinking in a sexual way.

at least romans had some knowledge of curing diseases instead of superstitions
Becca
In the Ancient Greek and roman times, if you said one thing that could have insulted a powerful person in front of him ( even if it was you were telling him about someone else saying it ), you would immediately be beaten to death in front of a crowd. People starved to death, beat eachother to death, were too sick to live, and get into wars easily. My dad is addicted to roman books and movies. I've watched them and trust me. There are no public bathhouses and fancy things like in the fantasy of The Greek gods. How about everyone snaps back to what would actually happen. OKAY?
Reks
Look how @Becca is basing such things off of sill books and movies. WE LEARNED FROM ACTUAL HISTORY

At least I can safely express my sexual orientation, since it was valued in the Ancient Greece.

Scroll down and you'll eventually see one of the smartest people on this website, he said "doesn't tell you where in the dark ages so i'd go to arabia when they had the golden age"

no one knows what happened in the dark ages, my guess is hell, but for all we know, it could have been paradise

Uh, just don't live in Europe.

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!
Jesus
Jesus is not pleased, thou shalt spend an eternity in hell.
Theorcofdead
God of Knowledge, apparently you're an idiot, the ancient Romans/Greeks had Athena/Minerva a goddess, so that would mean a mortal just beat you in your own thing, go cry about it.
grima the giratina
The Romans stole the Greek gods and gave them new names. Zeus had 4 wives
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.
Chels Carasusan
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
tripolarbear
inventions, i think you mean illiteracy
jayplane4276
Yea, but there was still plumbing, far more modern warfare, better healthcare NO PLAGUE and a very unique class system

Milo Barnes
Actually it there were hardly any inventions. Like 99% of things they used were invented beforehand. And even if there was, the plague is good enough a reason to make me pick Greek times
ChillZedd
98% of Europeans were serfs. Serfs a basically slaves.

They weren't called the dark ages for nothing.

What kind of fucking question is this?

a question
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!
Gal Loker
Is that even a question?
Ptess254
Yeah, I would become a god of knowledge. And not a witch.

Id just be in Japan where they treated women equally.

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.
DoubleMountainMan
Just play age of empires(2) and read the history in the game.
Thomas
Actually the plague was a big part of ending the middle ages and starting the renasans I do not not Know how to spell that word

Go back in time. Invent something mathematical. Be known forever.

I just like the Spartans
EdwardNigma
I could join the battle at the fall of Rome, as a barbarian or a Roman. Probably a Barbarian, but still, even if I die, that would be fucking incredible. Witnessing the fall of such a massive empire, the fall of something so great, something that seemed so invincible, and even taking part in it. Brilliant.
Jack Wight
it depends on wealth really
Rickson Goncalves
At least in Greek times you can use a skirt which lets us crap on the move, and I mean come on a toga, togas are awesome

I could save the knowledge in the library of Alexandria!
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

how is this even a question?

I accidentally pressed dark ages, but what we call them here in sweden makes them sound not so bad. Rough translation would be "middle time"

The later parts that were getting close to the Renaissance were great, except for the Plague. There were a lot of free people, and free people make cities.

Of corse, executions were brutal and long for anything, law, and hedonizam antiqity

No-brainer. I love Greek/Roman mythology. IDC if women didn't get equality. We didn't for a long time.

It really comes down to location really. Outside of the Roman Empire(after the fall) life was still good for many areas. If we're talking specifically being in areas of the Roman Empire then yeah, I'm sticking with the time frame that had running water and sewers.
Abi Conover
That would be fun >:)

There's a reason they called it the "DARK Ages"
