zoro5304..You asked me a question earlier today. I did not answer because I had to go close a sale. Which of course I did...yeah me!

Anyway, yes I do like the study of history. What I was babbling about today came from my papers on the cultural decadence of Western Civilization for the last 500 years. And by cultural I mean societal influence in regards to our progression as people and morality...

To explore your question.. Martin Luther legalized prostitution in the year 1544 to combat the rampant homosexuality within the church..

In the late 1700's the Marquis De Sade and his wife went around kidnapping children off the street to fulfill their sexual desires. This was done with full knowledge of the Police and church.

In the 1900’s we had our great Victorian era no explanation necessary


So I guess I still haven't answered your question so I’ll leave you with this and see where it goes. I think Voltaire had Rousseau pegged for what he was. And human beings are creatures of morality.
