Titolo: [very OT] Dire che e' ignoranza e' dire poco! XD

Frugando nel computer del mio ospite ho trovato quest'interessante
lavoro per la scuola scritto da Miss simpatia aka la nipote
dell'ospite suddetto; contate che quest'anno era una sophomore in
highschool, quindi il secondo anno XD
(e poi vuole spiegare a me cos'e' l'Everest! BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH)
Non so chi lo stesse dicendo, ma gli americani non sono solo
ignoranti, sono anche stupidi, E' VERO! XD

Sure, The Industrial Revolution was Great!!
	The Industrial Revolution in Great Britain in 1830 was a time of
evolution.  Many great things began during that time.  Without that
era, technology would be completely different, if existent.  So it may
sound like we're incredibly lucky to have been graced with such
knowledge, and such fabulous inventors like Henry Bessemer and George
Stephenson, and don't get me wrong, we are.   But it was not the
wonderful time most people have pictured, for the factory workers
anyway.
	I mean the factory owners were loving it; all they had to do was pay
less than minimum wage to poor farmers that came to the city to find
work.  But there were hardships to being an owner also, they had to be
rich, and beat their workers.  They also had to deal with running the
women workers prostitution ring, that's got to be difficult.  So,
maybe it doesn't surprise you that the workers were having a ball. 
Actually there wasn't a whole lot that they could do about the
situation, if they quit; there were always plenty of people looking
for work, even though they were paid less then a dollar fifty an hour
to work fourteen hour days in stuffy factories without open doors and
windows.  That, by the way, led to lung cancers, and diseases.  They
didn't complain because they were putting food on the table, and their
kids were going to school.
	See that was the biggest plus, the children were getting better
educated, and all children were going to school.  Since the government
now had more money to spend on schools, because all the work and
factories boosted the economy a huge amount.  It was especially good
that the kids were at school, because in the past it has been the
mothers job to stay home and care for the children while the husband
was out working, and since the mothers were also working in the
factories now there was no one to stay home with the kids.  Oh yes,
the mothers were working either as prostitutes or in the factories for
a third less than the men, which is practically nothing at all.  And
the women still had to be elegant, because you wanted elegant factory
women, not inelegant, right?  Does that make as much sense to you as
it does to me, because it doesn't make any sense in my mind?  I wonder
how the children felt when they found out that mommy died because her
long, "elegant" skirt got caught in the machine and she was taken into
the machine with it.
	And urbanization, now there's a wonderful thing.  No really, sure it
sounds nice, and most of the Americans today enjoy life in Suburbia,
but they suburbs were a little different, because remember the
technologies that we have, they didn't.  So, here, our big factories
are not in the middle of our towns so that the smoke, and steam
doesn't go directly into out houses, and community.  And the regular
people didn't have any way to get rid of their garbage, or the garbage
produced by the factories (which by the way, tripled the amount of
waste that there was).  So you know what they did with it?  They
dumped it in the street.  Pleasant, huh?  No, not really.
	Besides, it's not as if these problems would've been incredibly
difficult to solve, you know?  They could just shorten the workers
hours, or pay them better, or hey maybe they could really chance it
and do both, lower hours, and raise pay.  No, that'd be too much work
for the owners, they already had so much to do, with beating the
workers, and making sure that they couldn't breath.  Not that all they
had to do was open a window, the whole twenty seconds that takes.  And
the women workers, they could let them wear pants or put their hair
up, or would that be too horrible.  What if you could see the outline
of their bodies?  No, not that.  But, I sort of understand, I mean to
the owners and upper class people they weren't people, they were just
workers, slaves.

Io penso che piu' che altro studino mooooooooolto poco della storia
non inglese e americana. Moooooooooooooolto poco. :)
(e a giudicare da questo tema, non studiano tanto bene neanche il
resto ^^; e non studiano neanche tanto su come si scrive in un modo
decente... O forse per loro il tono "ehi dude" e' normale????? ^^;;)

In teoria no: Hei Dude č piuttosto gergale ed confidenziale. Come se
dicessi: "Ehi, bel fustacchione...."
