Debate: is life better today than it was in the early 1900's
Side: yes

"OH HO HO HO GOOD OL' ENGLAND. Full of wankers and whatnots. Self-centered socialist pricks, the majority of those children. "proof that the "great" U.S.A beleives that it is the only country in the world that is important."Think that they undertsnad the world. Disgusting."we conquered a large amount of it including your country" Not to say you are one necessarily. I just have a thing against the idiots of your country as well as the United States of America"I will have to agree with you there.but the main cause of Britains life being crapped up since the 1900's is your americanisation of the world"As for Brtiain, it was a dangerous, filthy time where socialists and marxists were revolutionizing and Ireland was starting to get pissed, but only starting. Much of the Government's focus was on that of maintaining the Empire or its remnants and keeping the British War machine up top, reducing entirely any funds for improving the life of those in the motherland or instilling new ideas or programs."I would like to know where you got all this fake information. Propaganda leaflet?"Life was at a stand still, free to the jaws of any industrious thinker with enough money and malice. Which is why labour laws didnt exist, working class sucked metaphorical penis everyday, quality of life was worhtless and the only way to achieve happiness was through religion, generalized piety or ignorance of the Status Quo. "ok, this is near the end of the Victorian Age where they invented pretty much anything that matters in today's world.society was divided up into 2 classes rich and poor.Poor people could do pretty much what they liked as long as they could afford it sex, pubs,alcohol,everything we do in todays world. (goods were much cheaper in those times as well), the rich had power but they had to hold up an image and a positition and therefore had much more responsability. This was a time where you were brought up to use and enjoy what you had whther it be money and power or the art of a trade."Germany had many on edge, and many fell off that same edge. Depression and sadness ran rampant through the time between the turn of the century and the end of the Second Great War."how is today any different" Men controlled women and beat they children often in the populated areas."Another american citizen completly blind to what happens in the real world" Disease was common, as was death. "In the modern day no-one dies?"Desperate times,"9/11" desperate measures."War in the Middle East "Everyone was on edge, for political revolution, war, crime, disease, death, social reform, religion and otherwise."sorry to disapoint you but this still happens"As for today, The world requires something to keep its focus, otherwise we'd have a shitload or several shitloads of people with nothing to do,"are you completely deaf or has no-one ever told you the definition of unemployment and benifit fraudsters." and unfortuantely we cant just kill them. "terrible isn't it"So there exists a network of entertainment and communication and thrill for the Primary,secondary and tertiary sector workers "something to distract people from what is really happening" throughout the world "don't have TV in most of Africa"so that the world runs smoothly "You clearly don't watch the news or anything that tells you what is going on this planet. The real world isn't running smoothly, maybe yours is filled with rainbows and unicorns and self-worth. (unless you are completly thick you might notice those last words were your own)"and doesnt fall into the hands of imbeciles on a massive reformist scale."these are called conglomerates and come in form of Mcdonalds Cola-cola Microsoft etc.I laugh how you(being american) could only come up with 2 developed countries for your example.I can't be asked to smashed up the rest of your mindless made up shit which you saw in some propaganda.
