In retrospect, we haven't changed.

In the middle ages women were prosecuted for being witches. All someone really had to do was yell out "Witch!" and that women would either burn or drown for their innocence. It sounds like we've come a long from condemning innocent women to their deaths right? Wrong. We've only replaced the word 'witch' with 'terrorist'.

And it's sadly true. Humans point fingers to somebody other than themselves almost always. And in the middle ages, if that women had a family, they would all have a difficult time living the rest of their lives after being excommunicated by the community. Sounds a lot like a race I know. So overall, the human race is still as primitive as it always has been. After burning witches, we didn't learn a thing.

thats a fairly bold statement. I dont think we are as bad as before, at least now people have to be proven guilty if theyre terrorists unlike witches as you said well they had no chance it was kind of sad.
