Honestly, I'm not sure about the validity of ANY of those points, LSB. :P

-Yes, weaponry wasn't as advanced in the past, but it was also less controlled. -We are all freer than we've ever been to practice our own religion. -This I do agree with, actually; nowadays our entire culture seems to revolve around the glorification of sex. -That's what happens when you have a democracy. :P -No comment really. -The world is becoming safer and safer every year, LSB. :P Do you know what the average lifespan in the US was 100 years ago? It was around 46. :P Nowadays it is over 75 at least: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_life_expectancy  Workplaces are a lot safer, there is way less pollution in cities, and cars, which have been the largest killer of mankind, are so, so much safer than they were in say the '50s. :P
