let's say that someone can travel time from way back in the past. he goes to the middle ages and witnesses torture chambers. he goes to today and witnesses gyms. how many differences will he see besides the fact that they wore more clothes in the past but had less fat?
- they both use diabolical metal contraptions to inflict pain. it was forced on the person back then. it's VOLUNTARY now AND YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT!! AND yet SOCIETY LOOKS DOWN ON BDSM FOLKS!!
- they both have someone doing the torturing. back then it was a torturer, sadist etc. now it's a personal trainer.
- sounds of pain in the air. back then it was real: now it's steroid heads having self inflicted mini rages, or it's the "'music'" that's piped in, or worse: tv talk shows/soap operas/local/ cable news.
- the smell back then was fear. now it's worse: fatty sweat
- back then, starvation. now, health food. fasting seems like the less painful alternative
- it must have been tough to watch people being tormented, but we have a sight probably far worse now when you enter the men's locker room. and it's a truism across the continent, at seemingly every gym, club, etc.: the older, flabbier, fatter that you are, the less clothes you wear!!! i've been in gyms in California, NY, the Midwest and it's true everywhere! old saggy white pasty flabby fat men naked in every locker room! talking to each other, walking around, even blow drying (with a machine) their privates in the bathroom!
i think i've more than proved my point that medieval torture was awful but that today's gyms are worse as people actually PAY to go in, be in pain, and subject nearly every sense of theirs to agony!
