  1. Ancient Greece and Rome, the first half of the 20th century and the 2000s. I would give nearly anything to live in the 2000s again.

    Though, I don't think anybody would want to live in a pre-industrial civilization. Some here mentioned pirates and the Roman gladiators and sure othes dream of knights, princesses, explorers and the like. Unfortunately, back then people of this kind were just a very tiny minority, most members of pre-industrial societies were farmers who could barely make ends meet.

  2. "Bronies and atheism" is a widespread clicheé. And I get the impression that sometimes, left-wing people like to associate the Brony fandom with the Right, especially one of its fringe ideologies, "anarcho-capitalism". The same they do with anime and cartoons in general. I have no guess why. Maybe because all of those (MLP, atheism, right-wing politics, anarcho-capitalism) appeal to neckbeards?

    Shortly I should be taking French/German. I need these foreign languages for my graduate degree.

    Both are a bit akin to English. German is closely related with it and French had a heavy influence on the English language. But they are far more complex and diverse than English. Like the French articles "le, la, les" and German "der, die, das, des, dem, den" are all equal to English "the". Also, nouns have genders. In French, a baguette is a "she" while in German a tank is a "he" and a girl an "it". Adjectives get different endings for the gender, number and case of their noun, German has 16 possible combinations. In French, there is a huge difference between the spelling and pronunciation of a word, but luckily in German, there isn't.

  4. I already know English, French, German, Classical Latin and Esperanto. I also know a bit of Indonesian. And I'm interested in Ancient Greek, Hebrew and Sanskrit.

    "Well, I want to own this action figure but it's outrageous that the toy company is charging for their products, so I'm just gonna steal it off the shelf. Since I don't agree with them charging for toys, that makes it morally okay."

    Well, there's a huge difference between stealing something or just looking at it.

    Netflix is one of the only legal ways to watch MLP,

    "Oh, some people dared to look at a thing and we didn't squeeze money out of their eyeballs. Let's make seeing for free illegal."  ;)

    And simply watching it inside an internet browser without downloading doesn't even count as piracy.
