June 16, 201015 yr Chase Blackwood is a catcher in the White Sox Organization, but has a cooler last name than 'Flowers'.

June 16, 201015 yr Author OK So, I was watching the military channel, and I started thinking about how life must have been way back in the day as a Jew in the days of Hitler ..and honestly it scared the mess out of me!! In my opinion, that had to be the scariest way to live .. ever!! It got me curious to know what you all thought? What moment in history do you think would have been the scariest to live? ..Whether it be dinosaur days or whatever, I wanna know!!!

June 16, 201015 yr How about during the Bubonic Plague? It killed 1/3 of the population of Europe in the 14th century. Wiki

Also during the Rwandan genocide. That would have been hell on Earth. The alternate 1985 in Back to the Future seemed f***ed as well.
June 16, 201015 yr Author QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 12:35 PM) I was actually just about to say that. That would have been terrible! I would have been such a hermit back then ...I would have been in my home trying to invent hand sanitizer and bug spray!!

I would have been such a hermit back then ...I would have been in my home trying to invent hand sanitizer and bug spray!! The problem is that no, you wouldnt, and that's why it was so bad. You would have a family that needed tending to, land that needed work, and good that needed to be purchased from the market. The thought of diseases being communicable was not fully understood. (Hell, some towns burned and/or banished Jews because they thought they were the cause). And with the lack of sanitary conditions then, even hypothetically locking yourself away would not have worked. Rats were ever prevalent and the fleas they carried would find you. Avoiding contact with the infected was virtually impossible unless you were massively wealthy or royalty.
June 16, 201015 yr Living in the early 1st millenium Rome would have been quite scary for many commoners as well.
June 16, 201015 yr Pretty much any period of time when I'd be depending on my sub-average upper body strength or my poor eyesight would be bad times for me.

It was a joke ya silly goose!! haha I think it's just a smidgen morbid that the nursery rhyme, "ring around the rosy", is about the plague. My family, on my mother's side, has always been very involved in Renaissance Faires, I learned about this when I was about 11 years old ...I was genuinely creeped!!! ( One of the faires in which they own booths is in Bristol, Wisconsin actually ...not far from Chicago at all!!)

If I recall correctly, a large number of nursery rhymes are about morbid things such as that. Pretty strange.
June 17, 201015 yr The plague origins could be a myth. http://www.snopes.com/language/literary/rosie.asp Its not conclusive, and I was told the same thing about the plague reference., it just never seemed to make sense to me.

Cut grass? *Hides from FOP* Haha naw as a fellow half-hispanic sexy beast, I know what you mean, though I'll live without those and be fine with the original celly and tv which I'm doin now.
June 17, 201015 yr I wouldn't want to be an Indian at the time when whites landed on this continent... not so much because of the wars (although those don't help at all), but because smallpox wiped out 90% of them. That's every bit as terrifying as the Plague in Europe.
