The UK Kink Thread

This was never really a wide custom in Europe, although Beumarchais used it as a dramatic device.

Sorry to be a pedant.

True but the medival peasantry were fair game for knights! Look how the Crusaders treated constantinople at that time a christian State! Rape and pillage I tell you! Suppose there was charlamaigne but he has been romantacised by the victorians!

 

[jockdom]

True, but she seems very high maintenance.
I do have sympathy for the loss of her leg in that accident.
However, I think she will always be revisiting her marriage to the Beatle.
IF you are not already fed up with that you soon will be.

Two edged sword the media

Most European history has been romanticised, it's the only way we can deal with it! Look at the way people go on about Italy and its wonderful national identity when the entire country has existed for 150 and still hasn't noticed.

OF course history is generally romantiscised, the winner usually writes the history.

Garibaldi and all ! We all need heroes i suppose and if one looks closely enough there will always be warts!

 

[jockdom]

But the victorians took reinventing history to a whole new level!They even invented tartan and the kilt!

There is a saying along the lines of don't meet your heroes, you'll usually be disappointed.

 

[nymphee]

True, it's just a shame we can't learn to accept the truth in history.

Men in dresses . with nothing on underneath. Did I say that out loud?

 

[Lincolukmale]

True, it's just a shame we can't learn to accept the truth in history.

Not only has the truth been hidden, but rarely has the lessons of history been learned.

 

[Lincolukmale]

It is difficult though to be critical of how people behaved inthe past as they had different conditioning, different experiences, and less sophisticated technology. In medieval times life expetancy was short for many due to disease etc

 

[nymphee]

Not only has the truth been hidden, but rarely has the lessons of history been learned.

Why would lessons have been learned? History simply demonstrates human nature.

True, we always try to put ourselves in the best possible light. History repeats itself because we believe we are better than previous generations.

 

[Lincolukmale]

Been nice chatting. however bed calls, good night.

 

[nymphee]

Night.

 

[jockdom]

Night.

So what historical time would be your setting?
Mine would be revolutionary France or maybe Inca south america at least it would be sunny!

 

[Malich]

Depends on the mood I'm in. most of the time I picture myself sitting in a field with a newspaper waiting for the next scramble call somewhere around 1940. I don;t know why but the gentleman in me seams to like the image of the heroic defender and the tech head just loves the thought of the sound of a dozen merlin engines ticking over.

I wish you well in any case, whatever it is, it's probably not going to be fun, but I do wish you a speedy recovery.

 

[Malich]
