As a student of history, this.... this REALLY makes my eyes go wide. What the hell? Things most certainly HAVE changed!

Let's take 500 years as "a few hundred years". Okay. We've got, urbanisation, modernisation, the emancipation of women, the invention of democracy, a huge decrease in the central plart played by religion in political and social life, capitalism, etc. I'm just scratching the surface Seriously. The world has changed a WHOLE lot over the past hundred years. If you don't believe that, I suggest you go and read some history books. Life back then was a shitload different than it is now.
