  1. So the Carthaginians did. actually burn children in sacrifices to their God’s. Obviously Rome put out allot of propaganda but is that not what this is too? He said that Rome accused them of doing it but he never actually said it wasn’t true (cause it was) so is this not kind of propaganda too? We seem to rush to defend the weaker culture these days but that’s a modern phenomenon. History dictates that the strong take over the weak and prosper as a result. That’s the way it goes. I’m not saying it’s right but neither are participating awards. We’re not all equal and we don’t all come from cultures who’s footprint is as large or as important as others. I know that might come as a shock to hear that. But if your ancestors (like mine) we’re living in a mud hut somewhere when the Roman’s were building aqueducts and paving roads throughout an empire than it’s just as well that your culture (and mine) fell and was taken over and incorporated into a better one. It’s how the world progresses. Playing make pretend leads us to where we are now
