People also used to think the best thing you could do for a sick person was start draining all their blood. What's your point?

People also used to think it was perfectly normal to never brush thier teeth. What's your point?

People also used to think if you killed a person who was a different religion you went to heaven, what's your point?

People also used to think the sun was swallowed up at night by a dragon. What's your point?

People also used to think tomatoes were poisonous. What's your point?

People also used to think children should serve in the military. What's your point?

People also used to think that regular baths weakened their immune systems and yet at the same time that illness was caused by bad smells. Their solution was to wear bags of spices around their necks. They didn't work. What's your point?

People also used to think it was perfectly normal to keep other people as property. What's your point?

You're talking of course about an era when education was a laughable concept, infant mortality hovered around 50-60% and people were likely to be dead by 35. Course they had to start early then, they were battling the law of averages. Even until the late 1800's people thought for instance, that you shouldn't spend time with/get attached to your baby until it was at least two years old, because it was probably going to die. The times have changed such that, it's a disadvantage to have a child that early, both for the parent and the child. So their response isn't "dumb" per se and it's understandable why they "freak out". Medieval peasants didn't have to worry about getting an education or being able to start a college fund.

Goodness, lotta honest points that burn lol. I can't say nothing in retaliation to that except, I guess that's how it was back in the day. But I don't wanna clog this thread up, so let's take this to the random thread, Ghengis_John. I'm a bit intrigued.

Edit: On second thought, not right now. I gotta do a few stuff. Hope we can discuss this later.
