In the good old days people disemboweled and beheaded each other with bronze swords. Then came iron and so on. Those were indeed simpler times...


:
I would say better times, yes more violent overall compared to today even though we have used technology to make killing much easier and efficient.

Here's why I feel that way. Even a 3 yo can kill someone with a gun, basically anyone can kill/hurt someone with a gun, it's too easy.

It takes physical brawn to wield a sword, war hammer, ax etc. And you have to do it up close and personal so effort and commitment is required to kill.

It takes little to no effort with a gun and it's very easy to pull a trigger. but like I said, that ship has sailed.


edit: I suppose I should clarify better times regarding man's ability/technology for making war etc, not everything since obviously we live pretty well and easily compared to our ancestors/forefathers.
