"Decline and fall of the Roman myth"

[Virilis]

The urge to level the playing field between cultures is just so much politically correct nonsense.

I agree totally! I have seen Terry Jones`s series on Crusades which was quite entertaining. Sadly it has come to the point that that the cultural relativism represented for example by Terry Jones is getting a bit weary and tiresome.

Everyone knows for example that calling goths merely barbarians is full of roman prejudice, but also VERY TRUE in a sense (law, technology, etc.). When you try to uderstand every kind of cultural phenomenon from the politically correct point of view, in the end you don`t understand anything anymore, or at least you`ll close your eyes to many interesting things. You don`t have to be an Einstein to understand relativism and the hazards of it`s possible overdose, a simple sociologist like me is enough :wink: ...
