I am not sure if this is the right place for the post but it seems like the appropiate one.
Through out time we have all boasted a evolution in society, that we are not as barbaric we once were, though I feel that we are somewhere around square one.

There is no more slavery yet we employ people and pay them next to nothing and that will make sure that they come back to you because they have no other option but to come to the same place for their meagre salary.
We no longer make people fight to the death for entertainment yet many action movies portray a death, when it is that of a lackey no tear is shed (Austin Powers doe not count it is a comedy I am talking about a pure action movie Terminator for instance).
I feel that we just boast better technology that makes many things seem more acceptable.

I am no saint, I just believe that we must call a spade a spade.
Are there any out here that echo similar thoughts.
