Quillback Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Slavery was very common in ancient times. The Romans were notorious for enslaving people, you lost a war with the Romans, there was a good chance your people would end up as Roman slaves. It is estimated that Caesar may have enslaved up to a million people during his conquest of Gaul. The ancient world was a brutal place, Christianity offered hope and a better life in the afterlife for people who, for the most part, led a miserable existence. The life we lead would be paradise to those folks. They spoke of a land of "Milk and Honey", you can take a ride to WalMart and fill your shopping cart with milk and honey. The only time in my life that I have spent in daily contact with people of color was my time in the Army. And there were absolutely differences from a cultural perspective. But when it was work time, we'd say that we're all green and let's get it done. Maybe things have changed, I don't know, all the people I hang out with are white, and it is not because I want it to be that way, there just are very few people of color in my area.

Going to the Doctor today. My wife gave me a shower it felt so good. I think she likes giving me shots in the stomach only 3 more days. She said I have to wear my special boot another 3 weeks. Hard just watching I have so much I want to do. oneshot Quillback, bfishn, Terrierman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FW is 100% correct about certain ethnicities and tipping. I worked in the front of the house, many places before and during college, and this was so well known that the industry had adapted to calling them a “table of Canadians” to prevent any possible blow back from mentioning specific ethnicities. As in “aw man who gave me the table of Canadians?” I believe the tipping is the opposite of barbarism. It maintains a higher level of customer service because it’s commission based and people are incentivized to provide you the best service rather than just spending hours to get a paycheck on a job that they hate. That said, many wealthy Asians either don’t understand or don't believe in tipping culture. I tip almost any trade or service persons that I feel deserves it even if it’s not customary as restaurants, hospitality, drivers, fishing guides etc generally are … On a side note. Having been friends and coworkers with many ethnicities, in my experience “white” people can’t hold a candle to the distain harbored by Hispanics and Asians toward Africans and African Americans.. My parents had a couple from India and a couple from Bosnia move in on their street. They would fight so much we thought there would be a murder inevitably. Might have been a Muslim vs Hindu thing though. Who knows. fishinwrench and awhuber 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
